    Hello one and all, always on the lookout for advice and tips!

    Hi, been a bit of a lurker for a bit on here, originally a heating engineer that enjoyed doing bathrooms too much so more bathrooms than heating now. Prefer to look at a nice bathroom rather than a white box on the wall. Always ready for advice/ tips/ tricks for the perfect finish.
