Luxury Bathroom Renovation in Stockport with Marble Effect Tiles and Brushed Gold Finishes

Looking for a luxury bathroom renovation in Stockport? This recent bathroom refurbishment completed by AP Tile & Bathrooms transformed an outdated bathroom into a stunning hotel-inspired space featuring large-format marble effect porcelain tiles, brushed gold fixtures, bespoke recessed shelving and smart LED lighting.

Our client wanted a modern, high-end bathroom that felt both luxurious and practical for everyday use. The finished result combines premium materials, expert craftsmanship and innovative technology to create a truly bespoke bathroom installation.

Key Features and Installations

The Starting Point The existing bathroom had reached the end of its lifespan and required a complete bathroom refurbishment. As with every bathroom renovation we undertake, the project began with a full strip-out back to a sound structure. This allowed us to inspect the room properly and ensure every surface was suitable for the new installation. Before any tiling work commenced, extensive preparation work was carried out, including wall correction, strengthening where required and full waterproof tanking within the shower areas. Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of any bathroom installation. Investing time at this stage helps ensure the finished bathroom remains durable, watertight and looking its best for many years to come. Large Format Marble Effect Bathroom Tiling To achieve the luxurious look our client wanted, we installed large-format 1200mm x 600mm marble effect porcelain tiles throughout the bathroom. Large format bathroom tiles minimise grout lines, helping create a seamless appearance while making the room feel larger and more spacious. The elegant marble detailing running through the tiles adds a timeless and sophisticated finish that perfectly complements the overall design. Every tile was carefully installed on fully prepared surfaces to ensure perfect alignment and a premium finish throughout. Brushed Gold Fixtures and Bespoke Features To elevate the design further, the client selected brushed gold fixtures and fittings throughout the bathroom. These included:

• Brushed gold shower fittings
• Brushed gold accessories
• Brushed gold tile trims
• Bespoke brushed gold recessed shelving

One of the standout features of this bathroom renovation was the custom recessed shelving built directly into the shower enclosure. Rather than using bulky storage baskets or wall-mounted shelves, we created integrated storage niches that were perfectly aligned with the tile layout and grout lines. This provides practical storage while maintaining the clean, minimalist appearance of the room. Spacious Quadrant Shower Installation The design was centred around a large quadrant shower tray, creating a generous showering space while maintaining excellent flow throughout the room. Combined with the marble effect tiling and brushed gold fittings, the shower area became one of the key focal points of the completed bathroom design. Smart LED Feature Lighting One of the most impressive elements of this bathroom installation was the bespoke LED ceiling lighting system. Two fully recessed LED light features were installed within the ceiling to create the effect of light emerging directly from the structure itself, without visible fittings interrupting the clean lines of the room. Each lighting section was installed on its own independent driver, allowing them to operate separately and display different colours simultaneously. The fully app-controlled lighting system allows the homeowner to control:

• Colour selection
• Brightness levels
• Dynamic lighting effects
• Music synchronisation
• Custom scenes and schedules

As the client’s son has a keen interest in technology, this quickly became one of his favourite features within the home. Finishing Touches To complete the bathroom renovation, we also installed:

• Wipe-clean PVC ceiling
• Modern shaver charging socket
• New plumbing connections
• Waterproof tanking systems
• Premium silicone finishing throughout

Every detail was completed with durability, practicality and ease of maintenance in mind.

The Finished Result

The completed bathroom perfectly balances luxury, functionality and modern technology. The combination of large-format marble effect tiles, brushed gold finishes, bespoke storage solutions and smart LED lighting has created a truly unique bathroom that feels more like a luxury hotel suite than a standard family bathroom. Most importantly, the client was delighted with the finished result and particularly appreciated the attention to detail throughout every stage of the installation.
