West Kilbride Bathroom Renovation
This bathroom renovation in West Kilbride involved the complete transformation of a tired, outdated, and underused space into a functional and timeless bathroom. The client wanted a traditional finish that would complement the character of their period property, while also benefiting from modern performance and durability.
Having previously been let down by another contractor, the client required a reliable team to take full control of the project and deliver a high-quality result from start to finish.
From the first consultation, the focus was on delivering a high-quality renovation with minimal disruption to the household. With careful project management, planning, and skilled craftsmanship, the team at Cutwood Joinery delivered a complete twin porch renovation that was completed in just 10 days, exceeding the homeowners’ expectations.
Initial Assessment and Planning
From the outset, this was a complex project that required more than just cosmetic upgrades. The existing bathroom layout was inefficient, and there were underlying issues with outdated and redundant plumbing systems.
Key challenges included:
- Identifying and removing disused pipework
- Re-routing existing plumbing to suit a new layout
- Working within the constraints of a period property
- Delivering a traditional aesthetic without compromising on modern standards
A significant portion of the work took place behind the scenes before any visible transformation could begin.
The Solution
We carried out a full strip-out and rebuild of the bathroom, addressing both structural and mechanical elements before installing new finishes.
The scope of work included:
- Complete removal of the existing bathroom
- Extensive plumbing works to trace, remove, and reconfigure pipework
- Relocation of the toilet with neatly boxed-in waste pipe
- Repositioning of the radiator to improve layout and usability
- Installation of wall pads to support radiator and cabinetry fixings
- Fitting of a new shower tray
- Full wall and floor tiling
- Installation of ply flooring and application of floor screed
- Electrical upgrades, including LED lighting and new switches
- Painting and finishing works
- Installation of new skirting boards
- Final mastic and sealing for a clean, durable finish
- Supply and installation of all fixtures and fittings
- Full waste removal and site clearance
The Results
The completed bathroom successfully balances traditional design with modern functionality. The updated layout improves usability, while the finishes remain in keeping with the character of the property.
Behind the clean, polished appearance is a fully upgraded system, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
The client now has a bathroom that not only looks the part but also functions efficiently for everyday use.
