As the summer season comes to an end, the subsequent months present the perfect opportunity for routine maintenance, upgrades, and comprehensive refurbishments of your campsite washroom facilities. Before diving into the refurbishment process, it's crucial to assess your washrooms during the late summer. Whether you're considering annual maintenance, feature upgrades, or a total makeover, now is the time to strategise, ensuring you capitalise on the upcoming quieter months.
Routine Maintenance
Regular assessment of your washrooms to spot areas of wear and tear is vital. Check the condition of hinges and locks. If several appear worn out or need replacement, consider updating them throughout your facility. The same principle applies to leaky taps. Flooring, often overlooked until a significant issue arises, should be regularly inspected. Address areas where water accumulates to prevent further deterioration. For tiled surfaces, inspect the grout for mould and wear. If re-grouting seems necessary, plan it for the autumn or tackle it section by section to minimise disruption in continuously busy campsites.
Additional Features and Upgrades
While your washrooms are in frequent use, observe how visitors utilise them. This observation can reveal potential improvements. For instance, would extra shelves near the basins or a more expansive countertop benefit users? Is there a demand for additional shaver sockets? Is the changing space outside the shower area sufficient? Beyond usability, consider ways to enhance the efficiency of your washroom facilities. Transitioning to eco-friendly hand dryers might be more economical than paper towels and eliminate the task of refilling paper towel dispensers. Sensor or push taps not only reduce flooding risks but can also lead to significant water savings. Similarly, transitioning to waterless urinals can be both eco-friendly and efficient.
Complete Renovation
At times, a total overhaul of washrooms becomes necessary. If your campsite has witnessed a surge in visitors since the last renovation, it's essential to re-evaluate the washroom's functionality. Key considerations include assessing the drainage system's capacity, especially if you're adding more facilities. Ensure the drainage can handle increased usage to avoid post-renovation issues. Flooring choices should prioritise durability and safety, especially since campsite washrooms can get wet frequently. Non-slip safety flooring is recommended. Additionally, don't overlook the importance of on-site storage for cleaning supplies and toiletries. Lastly, prioritise durability and consider vandal-resistant options to ensure longevity.
Accessibility and Security
For disabled-access washrooms, it's crucial to have the right grab rails and other necessary fixtures. If upgrading to include showers, additional fixtures like more grab rails and drop-down shower seating will be essential. The RADAR lock system ensures that only those who genuinely need the disabled washroom can access it, preventing misuse and reducing maintenance needs.
