Bathroom Design Built Around How You Live

Good bathroom design isn’t simply about choosing products that look good together. The room has to work. At Barton Design Centre, the design process starts by understanding how you use your bathroom, what you would like to change and any problems the existing room creates. Tony then uses decades of bathroom experience to help find a practical solution.

– How it works

From first survey to finished bathroom

Survey

We’ll visit your home to carry out a site survey, take accurate measurements and talk through what you want to achieve. This gives us a clear understanding of the space, your priorities and any practical considerations before the design work begins.

Drawings

Using the measurements and information gathered during the survey, we’ll produce detailed bathroom drawings from our Barton on Sea showroom. These help bring the layout together and give you a clear idea of how the finished space could work.

Showroom

You’ll then be invited to our Barton on Sea showroom to go through the drawings, explore the available products and choose your preferred materials, finishes and fittings. Once everything has been agreed, Barton Design Centre will prepare the cost for the supply of your chosen bathroom products and materials.

Schedule

If you require installation, the proposed work can then be broken down into a clear step-by-step job schedule. This sets out how the bathroom will be approached, the order in which the work is expected to take place and what is involved throughout the installation.

Order & Fit

Once you’re happy to proceed, we’ll place the order for your bathroom products and materials. If fitting is required, we can also arrange a site visit with one of our recommended independent fitters, who can discuss the installation with you and provide their own quotation for the work.

– Step One

Start With a FREE Bathroom Consultation

Every bathroom design starts with understanding the space properly. We’ll visit your home to carry out a detailed site survey, take accurate measurements and talk through what you would like to achieve. This is also the opportunity to discuss how the room is currently used, what you would like to improve and any practical considerations such as plumbing, access or storage. By taking the time to understand both the room and your priorities from the outset, we can make sure the design starts with the right information and is shaped around how you want the finished bathroom to work.

– Layout

Making Better Use of the Space

Once the survey is complete, we’ll use the measurements and information gathered to produce detailed bathroom drawings from our Barton on Sea showroom. These drawings help bring the layout to life, showing how the key elements of the room could work together before any decisions are finalised. We’ll consider the position of baths, showers, furniture, sanitaryware and storage, making the best use of the available space while keeping the design practical and balanced. This stage gives you a much clearer picture of how your new bathroom could look and function.

Choosing the Right Products

You’ll then be invited to our Barton on Sea showroom to sit down with Tony, go through the drawings and refine the design together. This is where you can explore the products, materials, finishes and fittings available, from baths and showers to furniture, brassware and tiles. With thousands of bathroom products available, Tony can help narrow down the options and make sure everything works together. Once the design and product choices have been agreed, Barton Design Centre will prepare a clear cost for the supply of your chosen bathroom products and materials.

Tony designed my dream bathroom in my new home in Southbourne, very insightful and knowledgeable. Worked with me from the design stage through to the final install. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you and will definitely be recommending him to family and friends.

We are absolutely delighted with our new bathroom. Tony is an excellent designer and finds solutions for any design problem, resulting for us in a bathroom we did not think it was possible to have in the space we've got. The quality of the fittings is superb, yet his price was much more competitive than other local bathroom design centres. Our bathroom was fitted by Mickie Lovelock and his team: all highly skilled, prompt and courteous, and taking a genuine pride in their work. Mickie kept us informed all the way through the project, and was always prepared to go the extra mile. We could not have wished for a better team.

These guys have been amazing. Courteous and clean. A lot of work to re-boot my old drab 1990s bathroom (and bedroom) to a thoroughly modern 2020s look of grandeur. Excellent company they truly deliver that "wow" factor. Well done Tony and Sam and their amazing team. Splendid.
