Parkstone Bay Marina New Washrooms

Parkstone Bay Marina Toilets Refurbishment

Having been in conversation with Parkstone Bay Marina for some time, in early 2025 a new set of Commercial Washrooms were created for users of the Marina. 

After several site meetings, we worked with the client to offer a range of design options. This was largely focused on working with the unique setting of these cabins, creating options for best use of space within the constraints of the building. 

We supplied all the fittings for this Washroom Refurbishment, which saw the Marina construct a series of Superloos.

A Superloo is a self-contained 'Executive' Washrooms, each housing a toilet, hand wash area and shower. 

The Shower Refurbishment

The walls were built from stud framing, boarded, and clad in large format tiles. Underfoot, a similar large format tile was laid, and to complement this, we advised on flush finish floor formers by On The Level.

These Wetroom Drainage kits fit flush with the floorboards and carry a slight fall towards a floor drain. This means they can be tiled into seamlessly, generating a gradual slope on the floor so water runs directly to the drain. 

The decision to elevate the finish on the Superloos, and give users a private wash space, was made to cater for the berth holders at the marina. Being private washrooms, there was no need for individual Shower Cubicles, so a small partition made from solid grade laminate was fitted near the shower to prevent spray back from the shower into the rest of the room.

These showers were also fitted with sensor controls, so that usability was made effortless. 

The Toilet Refurbishment

A total of eight wall mounted RAK toilet pans were installed in this site, which were partnered with half height DUCT sets and Armitage Shanks Sensorflow 21 Conceala 3 Sensor Flush Cisterns. These DUCT sets work to deliver a small service void where the Dudley Illusion Freestanda Toilet Frame and all the pipework could be concealed. This gives a minimalist finish to the room, but also makes it easier to clean thanks to reduced surface areas. 

We continued sensor activation in this wash space with Armitage Shanks Sensorflow E Infrared Basin Mounted Mixer Taps at the hand wash area too, a combination that improves hygiene throughout the site by reducing touch points.

As well as these Executive Toilets, which were to be used by berth holders only, separate toilets were installed to cater for the patrons of the on-site restaurant, South Deep. 

As part of this project, we also supplied a solid surface baby changing station, and a full Fitzroy of London Accessible toilet pack. This allowed the marina to offer a disabled washroom complete with all the features needed to comply with Document-M of Building Regulations. 

Hand drying was supplied through a series of Dyson Airblade hand dryers, which are a popular and effective way of wicking moisture away from wet hands. This project also saw us supply a solid surface vanity top with custom holes cut in for hair dryers, which was placed beneath a large format mirror for a place to finish freshening up after washing.  

There was also an Armitage Shanks Birch Cleaners Sink supplied, allowing janitorial duties to be fulfilled more easily too.
