Tatty or broken fixtures and fittings can make a bathroom look dowdy and neglected, taking away from any feeling of calm and wellbeing. With the cost of living squeeze putting many off doing major renovations this year, research undertaken by IronmongeryDirect shows that 52% of people are still planning on making smaller improvements to freshen up the space – with almost 30% of those asked still looking towards those in the trade to do the work.
Top items householders are likely to replace this year are towel rails and hooks, shower fittings, bath and basin taps, and bathroom cabinets. And with bathrooms no longer seen as just a functional room, but as a space with masses of design potential, even the most basic of fixtures are now being considered for their aesthetic appeal.
The exclusive Altro designer bathroom range from IronmongeryDirect, for example, encompasses a stunning range of towel rails and hooks in a wide choice of finishes including stainless steel, polished chrome, gun metal and matt black. This includes the Altro Designer Robe Hook in matt black, which is ideal for anyone looking for a practical yet trendy addition to their bathroom. Also, the Altro Designer Towel Rail in PVD satin brass, which adds an effortless high-end feel to any modern space.
For shower room storage solutions, the Altro Small Corner Shower Basket is a great choice. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, it’s available in matt black and polished stainless steel finishes and is the ideal finishing touch to elevate any bathroom.
When it comes to bathroom cabinets, the stainless steel Croydex Avon cabinet with mirrored glass door and slimline design is ideal for small spaces and it comes fully assembled for ease of install. IronmongeryDirect also stocks a range of stand-alone mirrors from Croydex, including the Chester Bathroom Mirror which is highly recommended. Made from zinc with a high quality chrome plating, it can be tilted to suit the user’s needs and comes with safety backed glass and flexi-fitting so it can be fitted to a wall using existing screw holes – no drilling required.
Robyn Du Preez, Category Manager at IronmongeryDirect said: “This type of bathroom refresh can often be done in a matter of hours, so is a great filler in between larger jobs – and being able to source all the items from one supplier and get them delivered next day makes it even more of a quick win. From minor repairs to full renovations, you can count on IronmongeryDirect for top quality products, from market leading brands that are easy to install and built to last.”
