Public toilets have been upgraded as part of a hospital improvement scheme.
Pilbeam Construction, based in Southwick, delivered the improvements at The Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath in partnership with University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust.
Alan Corbett, managing director at Pilbeam Construction, said: "This is the fourth time we have worked with the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath and this project builds on our extensive experience of operating in sensitive healthcare settings.
"Our team has vast experience of working in a live healthcare environment and we managed to keep disruption for healthcare professionals, service users and patients to a minimum.
"This scheme will provide hospital visitors with a modern and easily maintained facility which will stand the test of time."
The £502,000 project began in March and was completed on August 22.

Pilbeam Construction designed the new facilities to meet Health Technical Memoranda and Health Building regulations, working alongside the trust and other stakeholders.
Improvements included new extract ventilation systems and compliance upgrades to meet NHS standards for patient safety and accessibility.
Temporary toilet facilities were provided throughout the works to ensure continuous access.
The completed block includes men's and women's toilets, two separate gender-neutral accessible toilets and baby changing areas.
Justin Champneys, capital development manager at the trust, said: "The response from visitors and staff has been fantastic with many commenting on what a great improvement the new facilities are.
"Pilbeam’s expert team ensured minimal disruption, whilst dealing with the challenges of working in a live hospital environment."
