Bathroom refit for best customers ever

[macten]

I get fresh coffee every 30 mins, beer when it gets hot etc.. really nice people and a joy to work for. Makes such a difference when you really get on with them.

Job is a full bathroom and cloak room refit.

Bathroom:

The 2 mirrored niches used to be windows on an external wall but there is now a large extension.


Bath out, won't be replaced, will be putting in a large shower tray

Im suprised at the chrome pitting as i think there plating is second to none! Some of their stuff isnt great and yes Faithhealer some of the acrylic baths are a bit on the thin side .

Macten, yes it was the tray and the shower valve cover

Get there this morning and customers asked me if it's possible to get rid of the old windows. I know if it was my bathroom I would have done that (less nooks and crannies to clean).
Downside is that the towel rad would have looked better on this wall now but it's a bit late now.

Relaid the electric feeds for the wall lights at equal distance in from each opposite wall. Also made sure the screws for these lights will fall on the grout line:

Primed and a skim of rapid set:

Ran out of adhesive by dinner so did the down lights, shaver socket and ripped out the downstairs cloakroom.

(the amateur skimming was the old loft hatch)

Worse thing is after uploading the pics last night I reckon I know where the missing bottle of beer went - was sure I hadn't drunk it :lol:

Pics of some of the plumbing:
Shower pump in

Couldn't use bath waste as surface mounted into soil stack so had to put new in and route it through external wall

Bathroom all tiled, grouted and siliconed ready for final fix tomorrow.
First fix done for downstairs cloak too.

Floor down:

I didn't mind the bathstore gear to begin with until I went back to a job a year after I had fitted it and noticed all the chrome on the taps and shower valve had started to pit. They weren't cheap either. I know full well the taps were cleaned with nothing more than mild detergent and a soft cloth, the bathroom was always kept immaculate and well ventilated.

And how do I know?.... because it was for the mother-in-law

how do you get away with only seeing your mother inlaw once a year

co'mon share the secret :smilewinkgrin:
