Bathroom Pics

[meansmee]

Just about finished my bathroom. Went for limestone (applestone) tiles after the problems i had with the bad batch of travertine. Pics below show it from start to finish. The tiling was done with the help of a friend who is a tiler. Will put some more pics up when its all finished.

Very nice creative work, love to see a bit of thought go in to it

Just a thought for you, regular members of the forum get access to the 'Tilers Arms' where there is a monthly comp run, always good to have new entries

Where's the mirror by the basin though?

Got a feeling there might be a door to go on the in-built cupboard Dan

Lovely design of niches etc! I couldnt help but notice the obvious lack of access to wastes and no toilet flush??? Is there some lippage on the tiles on the bath panel, or is just the light from above?

Cheers for all the positive reply's its taken me longer to do than i anticipated and first room I have done in my first house. Onto the kitchen next

Yep there sure is a door going on there with a mirror sat flush with the tiles,

@Vosnac I have access from a storage room at the foot of the bath (you can make it out in pic 5) making things nice and easy

Quite a bit of access from the eaves when you see how he set out the studwork and in the second form last picture I think you can see a push button through the shower screen (just???)

There are quite a few nice little details and one that looks like a stroke of luck but could have been planned

The vanity wall of course looks like in it's original postion, the opposite wall is set to double end the bath but it also looks as though it fell perfectly for the shower cubical to meet the skeiling, meaning the maximum width of the room is acheived

First of all i LOVE what you have done. Its a fantastic space and you have been so creative in your planning and layout.

I am a big fan of storage /niches / space. You have done a brilliant job - hats off to you.

Well done on great project !!

Just noticing a few other things you've done. The devil is the detail.

@ colour Republic. The wall is in its original position but i did have to sink the bath into the wall by 30mm each side(inc tiles). As for the shower cubicle it could not have been any tighter, i had to cut the architrave down to fit it in on width and when I did the ceiling I over boarded the flat but had to rip the angled area down to board straight onto the timber as the screen fits height wise to the mm.

As for the storage shelf's they were fun to tile (my mate loved me for them

). He did an amazing job on them and he sure is a perfectionist I said just put full tiles in (mainly as i was going all the cutting) but he wanted to take the brick bond right through to the back of them. Glad he did as going to put some ambient lighting in them this week.

I dread to think what i would have cost to get someone in to do the job start to finish. It has cost me £2550, but that was with a ridiculous amount of shopping around for parts. Its amazing how much you spend just on little bits like all the plumbing components cost me just under£300 but i did take it all right back including the soil stack.

Very nice bathroom. I like the use of space. Can I ask how you solved the problem of servicing the bath plumbing?

good question V
