If you want to add that touch of luxury to your bathroom design, a bathroom TV may be the right choice for you. Anyone that is a DIY enthusiast will be able to install a bathroom TV.

If your dream is a bathroom complete with a TV and entertainment system, perhaps it’s time to dust off those tools and turn that dream into reality. Why should you have to choose between soaking in a hot bath after a long day or watching your favorite television program? Why not do both at the same time with a bathroom TV?

Installing a television in the bathroom does require great care, so if you don't feel one hundred percent confident, it's worthwhile asking a professional to handle the installation process for you. Bathroom TVs are designed specifically for use. They are fog resistant and can work with ease in a wet environment.

If you do decide to go ahead with the installation of your bathroom TV yourself, then you are going to need a few things, including an electric drill, dust sheets, circular saw, screwdriver, silicone sealer, file, rawlplugs, tile cutter, drill bits for tiles and goggles.

The next step is an important one. Deciding where to mount the television. While you may immediately think this is obvious and you want it at the end of the bath, there are some important factors to take into consideration, especially if you have a free-standing or corner bath. You will want to select the part of the wall to make sure there is enough space for the television.

If you intend to remove tiles to make space for your television, you may want a few extra tiles. This means you can cut them down to the correct size and reapply before your installation is complete.

The next important step is to ensure the wall can handle the bathroom TV. What is the depth of the wall? Are there pipes behind the wall? What about electrical wiring? Lay down your dust sheets, which reduces how much cleaning up you will have to do once the project is complete.

Remember to cover plug holes and overflows in the bath and sink. Masonry dust can get into every nook and cranny, and if it does get into your plug holes and overflows it can cause blockages.

Always measure the space and then measure again. Measure the back box of the television, you want to ensure that any holes you cut will ensure a snug fit. Use the circular saw to cut a hole in the wall the same dimensions as the bathroom television, using the file to smooth the rough edges. Always cut less, you can cut more if needed. But if you cut too large to start, you are going to have to start filling the space.

Next, you will want to mark where the screw holes will go. Mark these with a pencil and drill in these places. If you are unsure of what size screws you need, discuss this with your TV supplier or your local DIY store.

Power leads should go through the hole. Due to UK safety regulations, electrical sockets are prohibited in bathrooms and must be a minimum of three meters from wet areas. This is important otherwise you will not be able to turn on your bathroom television. Thread the wires into the room behind the wall, which is much safer than using an extension lead.

Once you have power to your television, connect the television and ensure everything works properly. Also, ensure that you have the right viewing angle before you secure the bathroom television into place.
