Creating a Bathroom on a Budget

Bathrooms can be a once in a lifetime purchase. Filling up shopping baskets with multiple properties is a past time left only to the rich and famous, and we understand that Joe public may purchase a bathroom suite a maximum of around 3 times in our existence.

At Bathroom City we also understand that this lifetime purchase can be an expensive one, and with the social pressures of installing a suite which will impress friends and family, it can be a tricky task to balance style and budget.

 As a little point in the right direction this blog will simply recommend a series of our bathroom products which we believe offer great value for money, with a great look, durability and functionality.

First off the ultimate bathroom essential is a toilet, and on a low budget we feel it best to stick to a ceramic white and nicely curved feature as they appear to match the majority of bathroom products; it’s no good buying a cheaper product of course if it doesn’t match your suite.

JAX Jaz Close Coupled Toilet and Seat, £97

The JAX Jaz Close Coupled Toilet and Seat comes complete with all the essentials in style and function, using a chrome finished push button, white finish and curvaceous modern style; the toilet is a bargain at just £97.

Moreover, the Karizma Close Coupled Toilet and Seat from JAX is a slightly different variation in style but still maintains the bold lines of the Jaz depending on which unit suits your taste; the idea is simplicity and class in order to gain a modern style.

Next up, another Bathroom essential is a bath or shower, and again, JAX provide a stunning minimal design in the form of their Hidrobox Intro 1600x700 Acrylic Bath which is just £200. The single-ended bath combines bold lines and is ergonomically manufactured for sublime relaxation with its moulded interior and exterior.

Countess Acrylic Bath with Feet [A208], £215

For a slightly different look another great bath at an affordable price is the Countess Acrylic Bath with Feet [A208] which provides a free standing solution for the larger bathroom, giving you a luxury look and focal point in your suite for £215: a look which is usually much pricier.

If space is an issue when creating the bathroom you desire then maybe a shower is more appropriate such as the 800 and 900 Quadrant shower enclosure which is a simple solution for the smaller interior.

Both showers offer a corner enclosure which is perfect for saving space in a larger room or fitting snuggly into a smaller en-suite. With only a slight difference in size, the showers provide just as much at a budget as most high end showers, with toughened glass, clip out slide guides, single self-adjusting rollers, full height magnetic closures and concealed fixings, not to mention the glimmering chrome frame and reduced price of £139.

Finally, what bathroom wouldn’t be complete without a stunning vanity unit. An eye-catching vanity unit can give a bathroom suite character as well functionality in the form of storage and a basin.

800 Quadrant Shower Enclosure, £139

For both small and large units we’ve got to recommend JAX again, JAX never fail to provide quality at a full range of prices, and their lower priced options are great additions to any bathroom suite.

For smaller spaces, the JAX Ecco 450 Vanity Unit with Basin (white) and JAX Nebraska 400 Vanity Unit with Basin are ideal; the white giving you a simplistic look designed to disappear in your bathroom with its clean look, and the Nebraska 400 to be more of a focal point.

Also, another excellent solution to the smaller space is a wall hung unit, as they provide space underneath which can be used for storage or to simply open up your bathroom.

JAX Opera 650 Vanity Unit with Basin Sink, £185

The JAX Trax 325 Walnut Wall Hung Vanity Unit with Basin and Phoenix FI001 Ilario Single Door Cabinet provide just that, and again, promise style which can either merge with your current furniture or stand out as an impressive piece, which is both robust in its materials and durability but contemporary and functional.

For larger rooms, the JAX Ecco 850 Vanity Unit with Basin (white)  is another unit finished in white to add simple clean style and storage while the JAX Opera 650 Vanity Unit with Basin Sink is a unit which captures the essence of natural wood furniture with a walnut finish, chrome plated handles and double doors which provide generous storage.

Of course this brief guide to bargain hunting covers the bare essentials required to create a brand new design or add style to an older suite. Our website and showroom has a whole host of products ranging from budget options, right through to luxury items, all of which one trend remains the same, top quality at reasonable prices.
