Small Bathroom Vanities

If your bathroom is small, you need not upset yourself thinking about how to make a major renovation. Instead, focus on small bathroom vanities that make the illusion of a larger space. There are a few things you can do to achieve this. 

First, install a bathroom vanity that is mounted on your wall. Keep in mind that putting it in the corner of your bathroom is the best way to utilise the space that would  otherwise be unused. Also make sure that it has a lot of storage underneath, where you can keep towels and other toiletries.

Using the concept of proper lighting is also advantageous in making a bathroom appear bigger. Shower stalls and doors can be made of translucent glass to allow light to pass through and visually open the space. Large mirrors can also do wonders in creating an illusion of a wide bathroom area. You can try to put small lights around your mirror for superb lighting and illusion of a larger space.

The choice of colors for your small bathroom vanities also matter. Lightly colored paints brighten up the bathroom and make it look large. This is most important when your vanity is situated at the very corner of your bathroom. Dark corners make a bathroom smaller, thus you must always paint your small vanities with light and airy colors.


The sinks come in different shapes, and you may purchase a single basin, a double basin, or even a triple basin. There are also those that are fashioned to perfectly fit into the corner of your bathroom.

With these ideas in mind, you may finally decide on how to make your bathroom look its best by choosing the right small bathroom vanity.

Fitting new taps, removing old taps.



Diamond Mini basin mono tap





Fitting new taps is required either because it is part of the installation of a new bath/basin, or because the taps on a bath/basin have become old and worn or simply for cosmetic reasons. The type of taps you can have are dependent upon your bath / basin.

If there is one hole for the taps, then you will require a mono-bloc mixer (these have two smaller diameter pipes coming out of the single hole for hot and cold). If there is two holes then you can have separate hot/cold taps or a two hole mixer (two taps one spout). Some mixers also have a lever on them for controlling the plug (i.e. opening and closing). 

Removing old taps..
If replacing the existing taps as opposed to being part of the installation of a new basin/bath, the first thing to do is to disconnect the water. Turn on the taps full to drain any water still in the system. The process of removing the existing taps could prove to be quite problematic due to the restricted access that is often the case.
Use a basin wrench or a tap tool to undo the nut, which connects the supply pipes to the taps. Some water will come from the pipes, so have a cloth ready. Once the supply pipes have been removed use the same tool to loosen the nut that is holding the taps onto the bath/basin - the single taps will have to be stopped from turning during this process. Once the taps have been removed the holes in the bath/basin have to be cleaned of any old sealing compound.
Before fitting the new taps, compare the pipe connections on the old taps to the new taps. If the old taps are longer than the new taps then a shank adapter is required so the new taps will fit.

Neptune Bath Filler Tap

Fitting new taps..
If the tails of the new taps are plastic then a plastic connector is required to prevent damage to the thread; one end of the connector fits on the plastic tail of the tap and the other end provides a connection to the existing supply pipes.
If a monobloc is to be fitted then reducing couplers will be required. The reducing coupler allows the 10mm pipe of the monobloc to connect to the standard 15mm supply pipe.
Then to fit the new taps, position the tap in the mounting hole in the bath/basin ensuring that the washers are in place on top between the tap and the sink. Then secure the tap in place with the backnut provided. When the tap is securely in place the supply pipes can be connected to the tails of the taps.
 
The taps can either be connected with normal tap connectors or by using corrugated copper piping. The corrugated piping has the advantage that it can be bent to compensate for misalignment of the supply pipes to the taps. The corrugated pipes have a tap fitting at one end and compression fitting at the other. The corrugated pipes should be connected to the tap ends first, tightening only by hand. The supply pipes can then be connected to the other end. Once they have been connected both ends can be tightened with a spanner.
When the taps have been connected the water supply can be turned back on. Any new pipework should be checked for leaks. If any leaks occur they can mostly be stopped by simply tightening joins otherwise the system will have to be drained and a closer and more thorough investigation should occur.
 
Bathroom City have a huge selection of taps and fittings for your family bathrooms, cloakrooms and en suites. Come and take a look!

Cloakroom Considerations

If you are installing a new cloakroom, you will very quickly find yourself wondering how on earth you ever managed without it.  If you are renovating an existing cloakroom, you already know what a useful addition to your home this usually very tiny room can be.

Whichever of these categories you fall within, however, you might well find that there is now so much choice out there that you don’t know where to start.  The purpose of this article is to give you a push in the right direction.

How can it be so confusing, you ask, when all you’re really looking for is a washbasin and toilet?  You just wait and see! 

Also, don’t forget that, if you have enough space, you can add to the value of your property by installing a shower and some storage facilities to the cloakroom too. Before you think about extras, however, let’s get down to brass tacks and think about the basics.

The basics are, of course, budget and dimensions. 

You can find cloakroom suites for rooms of almost any dimension but it won’t harm to abide by that old rule to ‘measure twice and cut once.’  When it comes to budget, don’t forget the cost of installation; if you can fit the cloakroom suite yourself, then you’ll just have that much more money to play with when it comes to choosing the suite itself.

Style is such a personal thing but the truth of the matter is that your choices really boil down to traditional or contemporary.  Whichever side of the traditionalist fence you fall, there will be something out there to suit.

If you’re a traditionalist, you will be drawn to bathroom furniture with curves and rounded edges.  Toilets and basins will be supported by pedestals and white or cream will probably be the order of the day.

Contemporary, modern styled cloakroom suites can be something of an eye-opener, and they can also be particularly useful where space is limited, which is probably why they sell so well. Toilets and hand basins forgo the pedestal and are hung from the wall, placed on existing surfaces, or on suitable pieces of furniture.  Taps are either lever style or also wall mounted.  Shapes tend towards the angular, although there are some beautiful cloakroom suites available that combine curves with minimalism to great effect.

Whatever your style choice, be it contemporary or strictly classical, the major point to remember is that the room you are styling must, above all, be functional. 

This is the time to strive for that most elusive of blends – the combination of form with function.
