Bathroom project - Work in progress Page: 21

[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..

You could have feathered the level of the tray to bring the level up..... Unless you'd already stuck down some of the mosaic?


Created on iPhone.....

mosaic was all down.

I didnt want to feather the tray as i was concerned about evening out the fall...

nearly finished adjusting now...

dry laid

Looking good

 

[Qwerty]

A much better look mate.....good choice

 

[davemul]

Niche & shower tray mosaics all laid, and sealed.

Ready soon to start mixing up these

Very quick question. When Iwas sealing the mosaics, the sealant ran in to the grout joins...

This wont affect the adhesion of the grout will it??

a couple of boy racers on here by the looks of it and nice work dave, why haven't you grouted the niches as you did the wall? are they going a different colour?

 

[davemul]

Thanks Bri, Not a CSL as i like my mod cons too much... so just a normal M3 (with CSL wheels and AP brakes all round though)

Mike, I only sealed the mosaics earlier, so will wait untill another day when I do the floor to grout those..

walls are hard enough and I am COVERED in epoxy grout!
