If you're planning a bathroom renovation in Dorset or just want to modernise your space, smart bathroom technology offers a fantastic mix of luxury, convenience and efficiency.
These upgrades can help you save energy and water, improve hygiene and even boost your property’s value. Smart tech can also make bathrooms more accessible for older adults, young children or those with limited mobility, making life easier and safer. At Joe Newton Electrical, Plumbing and Heating Services, we help homeowners in Dorchester and the surrounding areas bring these smart solutions to life. Here are nine ideas to inspire your next bathroom upgrade.
Underfloor Heating – Warmth from the Ground Up
There’s nothing quite like stepping onto a warm floor after a shower. Underfloor heating is a practical and luxurious feature that distributes heat evenly and frees up wall space from bulky radiators. We install both electric and water-based systems and you can control them with a smart thermostat for energy-efficient heating that fits your routine.
- Comfortable and efficient
- Reduces damp and mould
- Great for small bathrooms
- Helps with accessibility by removing tripping hazards
- Easily integrated with smart home systems
Smart Showers for a Personalised Experience
Smart showers let you control temperature, pressure and water flow from your phone or voice assistant. Set up profiles for different users, get reminders when you've used too much water or simply enjoy a perfectly timed shower every day. Extra features may include:
- Eco modes to save water
- Pause function for shampoo breaks
- Voice and app control
Touchless Taps – Cleaner and More Efficient
Motion-activated touchless taps reduce water waste and are more hygienic than traditional handles – ideal for family bathrooms. These are especially helpful for children, older adults or those with limited grip strength. Benefits include:
- Germ-free operation
- Consistent temperature control
- Lower water bills over time
Smart Mirrors with Hidden Features
Gone are the days of simple wall mirrors. Smart mirrors can now include LED lighting, demisters, Bluetooth speakers and even weather and time displays. Some models are voice-controlled or link to your home assistant, making them as functional as they are stylish. Perfect for:
- Shaving or applying makeup with precision
- Playing your morning playlist
- Keeping fog at bay after a hot shower
Waterproof TVs – Spa-Style Luxury at Home
Turn your bathroom into a sanctuary with a waterproof television. Whether it’s a morning news bulletin or a relaxing film during a soak, a smart TV can make your bath time feel like a spa day. We install IP-rated waterproof TVs built into walls or mirrored surfaces with:
- Streaming app integration
- Bluetooth and HDMI connectivity
- Fog-resistant screens
Smart Toilets – Clean, Comfortable and Clever
Smart toilets offer improved comfort and hygiene, particularly useful for accessible bathrooms or anyone wanting a high-tech upgrade. Popular features include:
- Heated seats
- Automatic lids and flushing
- Integrated bidet functions
- Self-cleaning and deodorising
A great choice if you’re improving your bathroom for long-term use or future-proofing your home.
Leak Detectors – Stop Problems Before They Start
A small leak can cause serious damage over time. Smart leak detectors monitor hidden areas around toilets, baths and sinks, alerting you via your phone at the first sign of trouble. Some systems can even shut off the water automatically, helping to protect your home from costly repairs and water waste.
Water-Saving Tech – Lower Bills, Smaller Footprint
Smart bathrooms help you reduce your environmental impact too. We install a wide range of water-saving gadgets that use less water without compromising performance. Options include:
- Low-flow smart shower heads
- Aerated taps and dual-flush toilets
- Water usage monitors with real-time feedback
- This is a smart move for your pocket and the planet.
Smart Lighting – Function and Ambience
Upgrade your lighting with smart bulbs or integrated LED systems. Control brightness and colour temperature through your phone, schedule lighting times or activate night lights for late visits to the bathroom. Smart lighting also improves accessibility by making it easier to navigate at night, reducing the risk of falls.
