What “bespoke” means here

It does not mean commissioning a handmade bath. It means the layout is worked out for your room rather than chosen from a catalogue spread — where the soil stack runs, where the window is, which way the door swings, whether a 1700mm bath leaves enough walkway, and whether the boiler can actually feed the shower you want.

Elite Bathrooms has been doing that from 65–69 Myddleton Road since 2001, as a showroom with a plumbing and heating merchant attached. That combination matters more than it sounds: the person advising you on a shower valve also knows what the trade will and will not fit, and what comes back.

Three ways to buy

  • Supply only. You and your installer take the specification away. The team will coordinate delivery locally and answer technical questions as the job runs.
  • Supply and fit. Hand the whole job over. Fitting is carried out by tradespeople the showroom has worked alongside for years, with one point of contact if anything needs sorting.
  • Design appointment only. You want a specification and a price before committing to anything, and no pressure to buy on the day. That is a normal way to start.

Typical North London briefs

The road is full of Victorian terraces and 1930s semis between Bowes Park, Bounds Green and Palmers Green, and the briefs repeat: a family bathroom that has to serve three people at 7am, an en-suite squeezed into a box room, a wet room for someone who can no longer step over a tray, or a cloakroom that only just fits a basin and a WC.

Because the showroom displays are built as real rooms rather than flat-pack sets, compact layouts can be walked and judged at full size. That is usually the moment a plan becomes believable.

What to bring to the appointment

  • Rough measurements — length, width, ceiling height, and any boxed-in pipework
  • Photographs of the existing room, including the boiler and stopcock if you can find them
  • Inspiration images, however vague
  • Your rough budget, so the specification is built to it rather than trimmed later
  • Any timescale — a leak tends to set its own deadline
