Black Marble & Gold Bathroom Renovation in Manchester

This bathroom renovation completely changed the character of the room. The old white patterned tiles, pedestal basin, dated bath fittings and electric shower were replaced with a much more refined design built around black marble-effect feature tiling, white marble surfaces and brushed gold fittings.

Before the Renovation

The original bathroom had a traditional layout with a standard bath, pedestal basin, older WC, small-format patterned wall tiles, and wood-effect flooring. The electric shower and exposed fittings also made the room feel dated.

Because the bathroom is relatively narrow, the new design needed to improve the appearance without making the room feel crowded.

Planning & Preparation

We kept the layout practical while completely changing the finishes and fittings.

The darker marble feature wall was positioned around the bath and shower area to give the room a focal point, while lighter marble-effect tiles were used on the remaining walls and floor to keep the bathroom bright.

Gold fittings were then introduced throughout so the taps, shower, and heating details all work together as one design.

What we did for this project

Black Marble Feature Wall

Large-format black marble-effect tiles were installed behind the bath and shower. The white veining creates a dramatic contrast against the lighter areas of the bathroom.

White Marble-Effect Walls & Floor

The remaining walls and floor were finished with large white marble-effect tiles, replacing the original small patterned tiles and creating a cleaner, more spacious appearance.

New Bath Installation

A new white bath with a softly curved end was fitted along the original bath wall, giving the room a more contemporary look while retaining a practical bathing area.

Brushed Gold Rainfall Shower

The old electric shower was replaced with a brushed gold rainfall shower system, including a large overhead shower and handheld attachment.

Glass Bath Screen

A clear glass screen was installed beside the bath instead of a traditional shower curtain, helping the bathroom feel more open.

Compact Vanity & Basin

The pedestal basin was replaced with a white vanity unit and integrated basin, adding useful storage while keeping the footprint compact.

Mirrored Storage Cabinet

A wall-mounted mirrored cabinet was added above the basin, providing additional storage without taking up floor space.

Gold Basin Fittings

A brushed gold mixer tap and coordinating cabinet details were used around the vanity to continue the metallic theme.

Brushed Gold Heated Towel Rail

The bathroom was finished with a tall gold-toned heated towel rail, providing both heating and a decorative feature against the white marble tiles.

The Finished Result

The strongest feature of this renovation is the contrast between the dark marble shower wall and the lighter marble surroundings.

The black feature tiles give the bath area depth, while the white marble-effect flooring and walls prevent the room from feeling dark. Gold shower fittings, taps and the heated towel rail add warmth and make the overall design feel much more considered.

The finished bathroom now has a distinctive contemporary look while still keeping a practical bath-and-shower arrangement for everyday use.
