Not been too active on the forum for a while, been so busy since October but thought I'd do one of my picture threads.
Having just finished a mare job on a big bathroom refurb (may post another thread in the arms - porcelanosa everything, tiles were lovely but major probs with fixtures and still not quite resolved)
I'm currently on a much more modest bathroom using Porcelanosa tiles again. I must admit that porcelanosa tiles are, in my opinion, the very best to work with - straight and perfectly consistent sizing.

The bathroom was tiny - smallest one I've ever seen, work is for a developer friend of mine. First job was to rip out old suite and tiles, knock a wall down and steal some space from the master bedroom, fit bath and first fix rest of the plumbing.
After boarding out it was looking like this:

Floor boards took some time eliminating bounce and getting them level.
Overboarded with Hardi:

That's how I left it this afternoon. Will tile floor tomorrow and hopefully get the bath panel (waiting on sparky though) and grouted at the weekend. Will post more when I'm done.

Can't get the final fix done till the weekend but last weekend got the floor down, bathpanel tiled and grouted up.
Used Mapei UC; Anthracite for floor and Manhattan for mixed tiles and keracolor FF Blanco for the whites (find UC's white a little too dull)

Had lots of the white tiles left over along with some hardi off cuts from bath panel so was asked to box in the boiler pipes and do a splashy for the utility room:

I'll post last pics of finished bathroom if I ever get the rest of the suite to fit - hopefully this weekend.

£18 per m2 - picked up in the Porcelanosa sale!!
Normally £39.
Must say if you like the look of them in the pics then you'd love 'em in the flesh - look a bit too busy on photos.
Real pain to Silicon though.
