1/9 Spa bathroom makeover
2/9 Bathroom before
The layout of this cold, unappealing bathroom has been kept the same, but everything else has been changed into a stunning spa-style bathroom.
Click ahead to see the dramatic transformation...
3/9 Black gloss and wood efffect
For a truly luxe feel, the owners built a vanity unit out of mdf to sit around a bespoke Corian basin and sprayed it with a high-gloss paint. This creates a dramatic contrast with the mahogany-coloured Roble Cognac wall tiles by Porcelanosa.
4/9 Whirlpool bath
The Squaro whirlpool bath by Villeroy & Boch has its own headrest. Pipework was concealed by a stud wall, so the owner had niches built into it - each with their own light - for displaying Eastern-style ornaments in them.
5/9 Bath mixer & towel rail
A wall-mounted Levo bath spout, Levo manual concealed valve small cover plate and shower mixer all by Pura Bathrooms leave enough space for a luxury whirlpool bath. A heated towel rail ensures wall towels are close at home. Bianco wall tiles from Tile Shapes complement the mahogany-coloured Roble Cognac wall tiles by Porcelanosa.
6/9 Curved shower enclosure
By changing the door to the bathroom to a sliding one, a generously-sized Merlyn 10 Series shower enclosure has been squeezed into the room. The Bauhaus Steam II WC came from builders merchants Grant & Stone. Bianco wall tiles from Tile Shapes line the enclosure to protect the walls.

7/9 Sliding door
To create more room inside the bathroom, the original door that opened inwards taking up valuable floor space has been replaced with a glass sliding door from Porcelanosa.
8/9 Vanity unit
The extra-shiny black gloss of the vanity unit was created by getting a car body workshop to spray mdf. The Corian basin was made by Cutting Edge and a wall-mounted Puro Levo two-hole basin mixer enhances its sleek lines.
9/9 Basin mixer
A wall-mounted Puro Levo two-hole basin mixer from saves space around the bespoke basin from Cutting Edge.
