Bathroom in Stillorgan
Every household in Stillorgan relies on the bathroom to start the day smoothly and end it in comfort. When fittings wobble, tiles crack, or storage runs short, the room feels more like a chore than a retreat. Luxe Bathrooms steps in at that moment. Our team designs and rebuilds bathrooms that improve daily life, suit personal taste, and stay looking fresh for years.
Listening First, Sketching Second
Good design begins with a chat. We visit your home, measure accurately, and ask how the room should serve you. A family with young children needs hardy finishes and easy-reach storage. Someone who loves long evening baths might prefer dimmable lighting and a deep tub. By understanding habits and hopes, we can shape a plan that fits rather than forcing you to adapt to the space.
Removing the Unknowns
Older bathrooms often hide problems behind plasterboard or under cracked flooring. Out-of-date wiring, rusted pipework, or damp patches in corners can spread if left untouched. We strip everything back to the studs, inspect the framework, and fix anything suspect before tiling begins. This step keeps maintenance bills low and ensures the new suite rests on solid ground.
A Cohesive Crew
Many renovation headaches come from juggling trades. With us, plumbing, joinery, electrics, tiling, and decorating sit under one roof. One project manager keeps the timetable tight, updates you daily, and answers phone calls promptly. You will never wonder who is arriving or what day work resumes.
Timeframe You Can Trust
A typical Stillorgan bathroom takes eight to ten working days from the first hammer swing to the final polish. Complex layouts, bespoke cabinetry, or specialist stonework may add a few extra shifts, and we let you know well in advance. Once dates are agreed, we protect them, even if that means late-evening planning meetings for the team.
Choosing Surfaces and Fixtures
Showrooms can feel overwhelming. We trim the choice to products that look good, last, and suit the brief:
Flooring and walls: porcelain, glazed ceramic, natural slate, or sealed encaustic tiles
Furniture: wall-hung vanities, double basins, mirrored cabinets with charging docks
Showers: low-profile trays, walk-in glass panels, or full wetroom systems
Baths: compact P-shape models for busy families or freestanding stone designs for a statement look
Brassware: chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, or classic white for a softer touch
Lighting: ceiling spots, backlit mirrors, and niche LEDs for mood without glare
We bring physical samples during planning so you can feel textures and compare colours in your own light.
Sustainable Choices
Stillorgan homeowners often ask how to cut water and energy waste. We fit dual-flush cisterns, aerated taps, and thermostatic shower valves that maintain pressure while using fewer litres per minute. Underfloor heating paired with a smart thermostat warms tiles quickly and turns itself down when the room is empty, saving power without sacrificing comfort.
Layout Improvements
Sometimes a modest tweak transforms the whole room. Moving the doorway slightly can free space for a larger vanity. Replacing a bulky radiator with a slim heated rail opens wall area for cabinets. We use 3D sketches to illustrate options so you can pick the best flow before a single tile comes off.
Accessibility Without Compromise
Future-proofing keeps you in the home you love. We install level-access showers, grab bars colour-matched to fixtures, and comfort-height toilets that blend into modern designs. Non-slip floor tiles provide grip while still looking sleek. These features benefit children, visitors, and ageing relatives alike.
Quiet Work, Clean Finish
Dust barriers, floor protectors, and daily vacuum sessions keep mess contained. Neighbours appreciate respectful working hours, and we keep noise-heavy tasks short by prefabricating panels where possible. At hand-over, we scrub every surface, polish glass, and leave a starter kit of cleaning products safe for new grout and sealant.
Transparent Costs
Our quotes list every task, material, and disposal fee. If you change your mind about a tap style or decide to add under-cabinet lighting mid-build, we price the change straight away so you can approve or decline without worry.
Aftercare That Matters
We check all silicon joints six weeks after completion to allow for settling. A quick visit tightens anything that loosened during use and answers questions about upkeep. Phone lines remain open long after the guarantee period because a quick tip often prevents minor issues turning into repairs.
Planning for the Long Term
Many of our clients in Stillorgan plan to stay in their homes for years to come. We keep this in mind when selecting materials, layouts, and finishes. While a bathroom might only take up a small part of the home, it’s one of the most used rooms. That means durability, proper drainage, and low maintenance are just as important as appearance.
We’ll guide you on:
Choosing tile patterns that hide wear
Fittings that are easy to clean and won’t rust
Proper ventilation that prevents mould and mildew
Smart storage that reduces clutter but keeps essentials within reach
These small decisions add up to a room that works better every day and continues to look good five, ten, or fifteen years down the line.
Working With Families
For families in Stillorgan, the bathroom needs to do a lot, early morning routines, evening bath time, and everything in between. We often recommend solutions that make life easier, like dual basins, wide mirrors, anti-slip flooring, and built-in laundry space.
In shared bathrooms, we make sure there’s enough storage for everyone’s bits and pieces. We also install fittings that are robust enough to stand up to regular use, without compromising on style.
Lighting That Makes a Difference
Lighting is often an afterthought in bathroom design, but it makes a big impact on how the space feels. We’ll help you combine natural light, ceiling lighting, task lighting, and soft accent lighting to create a flexible setup.
This might include:
Downlights placed over the shower
LED strips under wall-hung furniture
Backlit mirrors for soft face lighting
Dimmer options for a relaxing evening bath
We use sealed, water-safe fittings that work well in damp areas and are rated for longevity.
The Importance of Proper Ventilation
Poor airflow leads to mould, smells, and damage over time. That’s why every bathroom we renovate in Stillorgan includes an upgraded extractor fan system. We match the fan type to the size of the room and recommend automatic or timed settings for ease of use.
A good extractor clears steam quickly and quietly. It also protects your new tiles, paint, and cabinetry from moisture-related wear.
Details That Matter
We take pride in the small things. Straight grout lines. Smooth silicone edges. Taps that sit evenly. Cabinets that open and close without catching. These are the signs of a job done right, and we don’t sign off until they’re all in place.
Even something as simple as towel hook placement or the height of a mirror can make a difference. We ask these questions before we start fitting, not after.
Custom Solutions
Some clients know exactly what they want. Others come to us unsure. Either way, we help turn vague ideas into solid plans. Want a walk-in shower but worried about water splashing across the floor? We’ll fit a subtle slope and discreet drain channel. Need to combine a bath and shower but keep the space feeling open? We’ll show you models that do both well.
We don’t rush the design stage. We’d rather take an extra day to plan correctly than fix mistakes later.
FAQs
How soon can you start once I accept the quote?
Start dates vary with demand, yet we can usually begin within four to six weeks. During busy seasons we reserve slots on a first-come basis, so early booking is wise.
Will I need to leave the house during the work?
Most clients stay at home. If your property has only one toilet, we try to keep it functional for part of each day and give advance notice of any full shutdown.
Can you reuse my existing bath or taps?
If current items are in good condition and match the new plan, we gladly reinstall them. We inspect seals and moving parts first to ensure longevity.
Do you handle ventilation upgrades?
Yes. We fit quiet extractor fans with humidistat sensors to clear steam quickly and prevent mould, even after hot showers.
What happens to old tiles and fixtures?
All waste is removed daily and taken to licensed recycling centres where metal, ceramics, and packaging are separated responsibly.
Are your electricians certified?
Every electrical task is completed by a registered electrician who supplies a safety certificate on completion.
Can I supply my own tiles?
You may. We confirm quantities and suitability before purchase to avoid shortages or incompatible sizes.
How do I clean a new wetroom floor?
A mild pH-neutral cleaner keeps grout healthy. Avoid bleach or harsh scouring pads. We leave written care instructions and recommend products you can find locally.
Is there a warranty?
Workmanship carries a two-year warranty, and many manufacturers offer five- or ten-year guarantees on fixtures when registered online.
What if I notice a leak months later?
Call us straight away. We investigate without charge during the warranty period and will always help find a solution afterwards.
