4D Virtual Reality Experience

Step Inside Your New Bathroom

Bring your bathroom design to life before installation begins. Using our immersive 4D virtual reality presentation rooms, you’ll be able to step inside your new space, explore every detail and experience the design at full scale. It’s the perfect opportunity to visualise the finished result, refine any final details, and move forward with complete confidence.

Wellness

Light, heat, steam, recovery.

A bathroom is the one room a busy person reliably visits twice a day. We design the wellness layer into the same brief as the tile and the tap. Low-dose UV for vitamin D. Infrared for muscle recovery. Steam, sauna, daylight, acoustics.

A bathroom in grey framed panelling: a nine-drawer double vanity with a white top and two chrome mixers, under a rectangular mirror in a stepped bevelled border with a wall light either side and an extending magnifying mirror beside it, and at the right the white rim and dark outer skin of the boat bath, above a large-format marble-effect porcelain floor.

The Bath Works since 2005

Twenty years in the industry.

Steve and Ross opened Gas & Plumb Bits in 2005. The Bath Works followed in 2017 once the trade work had taught them what a bathroom should actually feel like to use. Four directors, a team of 38 across four sites, one award above all the others.
