At Summer Plumbing I provide small but essential construction work that transforms the layout and functionality
of a bathroom. Whether creating an ensuite, building a feature wall, or adding discreet storage alcoves, every
element is built to be solid, practical, and ready for a perfect finish.
Services cover stud walls, concealed toilet frames, shower valve walls, alcoves, niches, and other bespoke building features tailored to suit your available space.
Stud Walls & Partition Builds
Stud Walls & Partition BuildsA stud wall is one of the most effective ways to reshape a bathroom and improve its usability. By creating a lightweight but solid partition, it’s possible to divide a room into distinct zones, conceal pipework, or provide a perfect backdrop for showers, baths, or storage features.For bathroom use, stud walls are built from high-quality timber or metal framing and then lined with moisture-resistant boards that can handle the humid environment. This preparation ensures that once tiled, the surface will remain stable and durable for years to come.
Concealed Toilet Frames
Concealed toilet frames are a popular choice for modern bathrooms, offering a clean and uncluttered look by hiding the cistern within the wall. This approach not only improves appearance but also saves valuable space, making it ideal for both compact and larger bathrooms. Frames are installed within stud walls or custom-built partitions, with the flush plate remaining the only visible component. This allows for a streamlined finish and easier cleaning, as there are fewer exposed surfaces. Built to handle the weight of wall-hung toilets, these frames are robust and long-lasting.
Shower Valve Walls
A shower valve wall provides a tidy way to house plumbing and controls in one neat structure. By positioning the controls in an accessible location and concealing the pipework inside the wall, the result is both functional and visually appealing. These walls can also double as a feature within the shower area, finished with tiles that complement or contrast the rest of the bathroom. Often, built-in alcoves are incorporated into the design, providing practical storage for toiletries without cluttering shelves or ledges. Every shower valve wall is fully waterproofed before tiling, ensuring long-term protection against leaks and moisture damage.
Ensuite Bathroom Creation
Unused corners, box rooms, or large bedroom spaces can be converted into stylish and functional ensuites. This process involves constructing new stud walls, fitting door frames, adjusting floors if necessary, and completing all plumbing, waterproofing, and tiling to a high standard. Creating an ensuite can significantly increase the comfort and value of a home. The layout is designed to make the best use of available space while ensuring every element, from fixtures to finishes, works in harmony.
