Below are some frequently asked questions to help you plan your new bathroom installation with confidence.

At Gas Mark 1 and Herts Bathrooms & Kitchens, we provide professional bathroom design and installation services tailored to your home, style and budget.

The best bathroom design depends on your available space, property style and how the bathroom will be used, especially as part of a bathroom renovation or installation project.

Popular bathroom styles include:

  • Modern minimalist bathrooms
  • Traditional bathrooms with classic fittings
  • Contemporary spa-style bathrooms
  • Compact bathrooms for smaller spaces

When planning a new bathroom consider layout, storage, lighting and how practical the space will be for everyday use.

We help homeowners design bathrooms that balance style, comfort and functionality.

Choosing durable materials is important in any bathroom installation due to constant exposure to moisture and humidity.

Popular options include:

  • Porcelain tiles for floors and walls
  • Ceramic tiles for cost-effective durability
  • Quartz surfaces for vanity tops
  • Waterproof wall panels or shower boards for easy maintenance

The right materials depend on your budget, design preference and long-term maintenance expectations.

Walk-in showers are increasingly popular in modern bathroom design because they offer easy access, a clean look and space-saving benefits.

However, baths are still preferred in many homes, especially for families or those who enjoy relaxing soaks.

Many bathroom renovation projects now include a combination of both, depending on available space and household needs.

Good storage is essential in any bathroom installation to keep the space tidy and functional.

Popular storage solutions include:

  • Wall-mounted vanity units
  • Recessed shelving
  • Mirror cabinets
  • Built-in alcove storage
  • Tall storage units for towels and toiletries

Well-planned storage helps maximise space, especially in smaller bathrooms.

Modern bathroom fixtures can significantly improve both style and performance.

Common upgrades include:

  • Thermostatic showers
  • Water-saving taps
  • Dual-flush toilets
  • Freestanding baths
  • LED-lit mirrors
  • Heated towel rails

Energy and water-efficient fixtures can also help reduce running costs over time.

The length of a bathroom installation project depends on the size and complexity of the renovation.

A standard bathroom refurbishment may take around 1–2 weeks, while larger projects involving plumbing changes, tiling, electrics or layout adjustments may take longer.

At Gas Mark 1, we provide clear timelines before starting your bathroom installation so you know what to expect.
