At Andrew James, we believe that the bathroom is more than just a functional space; it's a personal retreat. Our approach is centred on creating bespoke sanctuaries that seamlessly blend individual style with lasting quality and innovative functionality.

Our journey in bathroom design has been driven by a commitment to exceeding Commonly accepted practices. Initially, our expertise as Woodworking Solutions included crafting bespoke bathroom furniture. However, we observed that while we could create bespoke furniture, many other prevalent bathroom elements were limited in terms of sizes, configurations, and long-term durability we expect, especially when compared to the high standards of brands like Leicht and Novamobili in our kitchen and bedroom offerings. This realization spurred us to redefine our bathroom service, focusing on delivering comprehensive and tailored solutions.

Our design philosophy revolves around a deep understanding of our clients' needs and aspirations. We begin by exploring how you envision using your bathroom, considering factors such as relaxation, efficiency, and personal expression. This client-centric approach informs every design decision, ensuring that the final result is a space that truly enhances your daily life.

To achieve this level of personalization, we partner with leading brands that offer exceptional quality and design flexibility:

• Dansani: We partner with Dansani for their commitment to quality and functional design in bathroom furniture. Dansani offers a wide range of vanities, cabinets, and storage solutions that combine elegant aesthetics with intelligent features. Their focus on craftsmanship and attention to detail ensures that their furniture not only looks beautiful but also provides practical and organized storage, essential for a well-designed bathroom.
• Silestone and Dekton: These brands are instrumental in our ability to create truly bespoke bathrooms. Their engineered stone surfaces allow for custom-sized shower trays, sinks, and wall cladding, overcoming the limitations of standard sizes and shapes. This is particularly valuable for achieving seamless integration within unique or challenging spaces. Dekton's ultra-compact surface is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to heat, scratches, and stains, making it an ideal choice for high-performance bathrooms.
• Graff: Renowned for its artistry in bath design, Graff provides an extensive range of brassware with distinctive styles and a vast array of finish options. From contemporary minimalist designs to more traditional and ornate styles, Graff's offerings allow for unparalleled customization, ensuring that every detail complements the overall bathroom aesthetic.
• Waters Baths: Waters Baths bring a touch of luxury and sculptural elegance to the bathroom. Their freestanding baths are designed to be a focal point, crafted with high-quality materials and innovative techniques. Waters Baths offers a variety of styles, from classic to contemporary, allowing for a personalized bathing experience.

In addition to these core brands, we incorporate innovative features to elevate the functionality and luxury of your bathroom:

• Proof Vision: For those seeking integrated technology, Proof Vision offers options such as built-in TVs designed specifically for bathroom environments, allowing for entertainment and relaxation while bathing. They also provide solutions like built-in toothbrush chargers, seamlessly blending convenience into the design.

Designing a bathroom involves a unique set of challenges compared to kitchens or bedrooms. It requires the careful coordination of diverse suppliers, each specializing in specific elements like shower trays, screens, brassware, and accessories. Andrew James recognises this very specific challenge within the bathroom industry and puts in the extra time and effort to find solutions for successfully integrating these components into a harmonious and functional design.

We take the complexity out of the process, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for our clients.

Beyond the selection of premium products, we are committed to exceptional installation. We understand the frustration caused by substandard workmanship and the potential for long-term issues.

Our installation approach prioritises robustness and meticulous attention to detail, focusing on the unseen elements that guarantee longevity and performance:

• Securely strapping and supporting all pipework to prevent movement and noise.
• Minimizing pipe joints to reduce the risk of leaks and potential water damage.
• Utilizing the correct pipe diameters to ensure optimal water flow and pressure throughout the bathroom.
• Thoroughly repairing and preparing floors and walls to create a solid foundation for the new installation.
• Employing wet boarding in all wet zones and tiled areas to provide a waterproof barrier.
• Using high-quality sealants and adhesives to ensure a watertight and durable finish.

These meticulous practices are fundamental to our commitment to minimizing the risk of water damage and grout cracking, ensuring that your bathroom remains both beautiful and functional for years to come.

Our dedication to comprehensive design, featuring bespoke solutions from brands like Silestone, Dekton, and Graff, combined with our unwavering commitment to quality installation, positions Andrew James as a leader in bathroom design and installation in the Yorkshire region. We are passionate about creating bathrooms that exceed expectations, delivering a personalized sanctuary that enhances your home and your lifestyle.
