I understand that getting into or out of an ordinary bath or shower can become an uphill battle for the elderly or less physically able but why struggle when an easy to access walk in baths and showers can make bathing both independent and enjoyable again?

Our busy lives dictate our cleaning routines, and in recent years I've seen a steady increase in my customers looking to create a beautiful and practical Wet Room rather than the more conventional bath/shower based bathroom. A wet room is simply a room with a tiled floor that has been waterproofed ('tanked') instead of a conventional shower tray. If the entire room has been tanked there is no need for any glass screens or shower doors, and the room itself becomes the shower enclosure, with a shower drain inset into a gently sloped floor.
I think of this as your sanctuary, for almost 40 minutes every day we are either bathing, showering, drying, shaving, brushing, cleaning or beautifying. It might be the only room in the house with a lock to take a break so making it a space to relax and enjoy is important. The bath is often the main focal point of the bathroom so you need to consider carefully the sort of style, shape and material you want. Usually it's the size and shape of the room that dictates what sort of bath you buy and if you're lucky enough to have a large space to play with, you can take your pick from a wide range of options including luxury freestanding baths and circular tubs with plenty of room.
Mark has just done a fantastic job on our ensuite taking a difficult space with a number of problems and transforming it into a stunning space. He input into the design ideas and helped us make best use of space. He has great attention to detail and listens to you, also extremely trustworthy and tidy which makes life a lot easier. We very much hope to use Mark again for our next project.
We are so pleased with the work that Mark has done to completely rip out & refit & totally transform our bathroom. His finish is meticulous, everything has been completed to a very high standard. He's a lovely guy to have in the house too which makes a big difference. The only problem is the rest of the house now looks shabby so his brilliant work could be very costly having to do the rest up! Thanks heaps Mark, can't wait to get you back to do the other bathroom & won't hesitate to recommend you to everyone.
Just wanted to say how thrilled we are with our ensuite, recently fitted by Mark. Due to his experience, he was able to help us plan and make the best out of such a small room, which was originally very badly designed. His workmanship and attention to detail was second to none. Would definitely recommend Alternative Interiors. THANKYOU Mark.
