Modern Walk-In Shower Installation

At Hobsons Bathrooms, we recently completed this stylish and practical bathroom installation in Winlaton, near Blaydon and Gateshead, creating a bright, contemporary space designed for both comfort and ease of use.

The finished room combines striking marble-effect wall panels with contrasting dark shower boarding, creating a modern look while remaining easy to maintain. Chrome fixtures and accessories throughout provide a clean, timeless finish that complements the grey and white colour scheme perfectly.

The Customer’s Requirements

Our customer in Winlaton wanted a modern shower-focused bathroom that offered excellent accessibility, low maintenance and a clean, spacious appearance.

Safety and practicality were important considerations whilst still achieving a high-end finish suitable for everyday use.

We designed a bathroom that combines stylish modern furniture with practical features, creating a space that is both attractive and functional.

Practical Walk-In Shower Design

The centrepiece of this bathroom installation in Winlaton is the spacious 1600mm walk-in shower area, featuring a low-profile shower tray, 900mm glass screen and chrome thermostatic shower with waterfall head.

The addition of grab rails provides extra support and peace of mind whilst maintaining the modern appearance of the room.

Modern Finishing Touches

A grey gloss vanity unit provides valuable storage while maintaining a sleek, contemporary appearance. Above, the Bluetooth LED mirror adds both practicality and modern technology, allowing the customer to enjoy music or podcasts while getting ready each day.

The chrome heated towel radiator ensures towels stay warm and dry whilst complementing the other chrome fixtures throughout the room.

Combined with the matt white ceiling panels and recessed LED lighting, the finished bathroom feels bright, spacious and welcoming.

Premium PVC Wall Panelling

To create a luxurious marble-inspired appearance without the maintenance requirements of traditional tiling, we installed a combination of:

Tuscany Grey Marble PVC Wall Panels – providing a sophisticated marble effect around the main bathroom area.

Lian Marble Gloss PVC Shower Panels – creating a striking contrast within the shower enclosure and helping to define the showering space.

PVC wall panels offer several benefits:

✓ Fully waterproof

✓ Easy to clean

✓ No grout lines to maintain

✓ Modern seamless appearance

✓ Long-lasting and durable finish

The results

A compact bathroom ready for transformation, with dated fittings and limited use of the available space.

The original bathroom featured a traditional layout that was beginning to show its age.

Before work commenced, the room lacked the modern styling and practicality the customer wanted.

Transformed with striking marble-effect wall panels and a spacious walk-in shower for a modern, luxury feel.

A sleek grey gloss vanity unit, Bluetooth LED mirror and contemporary fittings bring the room up to date.

The finished bathroom combines style, practicality and easy maintenance with a bright, spacious design.
