Bathroom project - Work in progress

[davemul]

Apologies mods of this needs to go elsewhere.. please feel free to move it or bin it!

Riiiight.. here goes....

We've been in our first house nearly 2 years now. We've (well ... more like I'VE!) done everything else bar the bathroom. It's an old 1800's cottage so the bathroom was in a pretty bad way. Solidly built but nasty and OLD!

I decided a few weeks ago to RIP it out and start from the beginning.

First task was to move the hot water cylinder from in the bathroom to a new cupboard outside the room (thanks to Scruff from ultimatehandyman.co.uk for the advice!)

Now you see it...

Now you dont!

Ive taken quite a lot out..

CARNAGE

Well, I picked up a load of bits today..

Marmox goods and tiles!

New shower pump for the house too

Very complicated Dave. You've done well to fit it all yourself

I wish I got to fit stuff like that, even the well off people round here would't splash out on the expensive stuff in your bathroom Dave. :incazzato:

If I won the lottery though (not that I even do it!) I'd buy a half dencent house and have a huge bathroom extension with every gadget and gizmo going. I'd have waterfalls, home cinema, huge tiled spar bath, digital shower and one of those weird toilet guys to hand me toilet paper or whatever they do.

Crikey bob.......if I won the lottery, I would rather have a girl in the bathroom with me! Each to their own then

I'm with Geoff... as long as the missus doesnt mind!

anyone need some jasmine kerapoxy 2kg? looks like i'll have a spare tub!

 

[davemul]

wasnt keen on the mirror to start with, but its grown on me!

 

[Qwerty]

Very Hollywood looking Dave, but I like it

Im curious Dave, have you hacked into the national grid to power that room??? :lol:

 

[davemul]

Im dreading the next electric bill!

some mosaics up and sink taps in!

 

[Qwerty]

some mosaics up and sink taps in!

Basins in bathrooms Dave, not sinks (unless you plan on doing some washing up in there) :incazzato: :lol:

I have noticed recently that when clients refer to the basin as a sink, I have a nervous tick whereby I scratch my forehead quite aggressively (so I dont blare out "BASIN!!!!") :2:


Looking very nice still mate. What is left to do now then?

 

[Mike]

the taps look stunning dave, i hope they're still isolated, you'll get some dimwit trying them and flooding the floor

 

[davemul]

Basin / Sink I dunno!

Left to do.. Bit of grouting, fit BASIN and stand. Silicon work and im there I think!

its been a long old slog!

Hi Dave

Great thread
ive just tiled a wet room with the same toilet flusher with light. I had to take a video to show the wife.
I noticed in your photos the light is always blue,do you know there is a button on the back to change the colour or to have it continually changing colour? nice gadget and my plumber told me how much they cost,my wife would take my nuts for spending that on a toilet flush button lol
great job though

 

[davemul]

Hi mate, yep I know it can cycle through all the colours. You can set the time of day too so it can be programmed when to come on / off :yikes:

Yeah its not exactly cheap is it :lol:

I've done a few bathrooms I can tell you, but nothing no where near such a high spec one like that, very nice. Tempted to use your pics on my website and claim the job as my own :smilewinkgrin:
