Bedroom to Traditional Bathroom Conversion

This Halstead family wanted to transform an existing bedroom into a sophisticated family bathroom with ensuite access from an adjacent bedroom. The brief called for traditional elegance with modern functionality, featuring premium fixtures and a warm, inviting aesthetic with yellow wallpaper and wooden panelling.

Through detailed 3D design planning, we created a stunning conversion featuring BC Designs Brampton collection - a freestanding bath and matching basin in traditional styling with chrome brassware. The bath sits on a custom-built curved ledge with integrated recessed LED lighting beneath the nosing, creating a dramatic focal point.

Calypso oak furniture with luxurious granite worktops and backsplash provides premium storage, whilst traditional Burlington wall lights complement the yellow wallpaper perfectly. The wooden wall panelling adds warmth and character throughout. Amtico glue-down flooring with underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, whilst PIR sensor-activated lighting provides convenient hands-free operation.

A Vogue UK traditional chrome towel radiator combines period styling with modern efficiency. We created a new doorway to provide ensuite access from the adjacent bedroom, complete with bespoke oak doors and cupboards. Every detail was meticulously planned and executed from our Braintree showroom (18 minutes from Halstead), resulting in a traditional family bathroom that perfectly balances classic elegance with contemporary comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about traditional bathroom conversions in Halstead

A bedroom to bathroom conversion typically takes 3-5 weeks from start to completion. This includes structural work for plumbing and drainage, new door installation, electrical work for underfloor heating and PIR sensor lighting, fitting premium fixtures, and final finishing touches with wallpaper and panelling. The timeline can vary depending on structural requirements and whether building regulations approval is needed. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed schedule tailored to your conversion project.
We exclusively work with premium brands known for exceptional quality and traditional craftsmanship.

Each brand is carefully selected for authenticity, durability, and design excellence.

"We couldn't be more delighted with the work done by the Bowman's Bathroom team. We had two bathrooms done at the same time and they were faultless from concept to completion and made the process pain-free and even enjoyable! The installation team were exceptionally skilled and helpful. They never stopped working and got the whole thing done much quicker than we expected and the final result is stunning. Thank you Jamie, Dan and Craig and everyone who helped make the process seamless."
