Bathroom refurb

[trevortine]

So I'm doing a refurb this week, thought I'd share the start to finish pics with you all. This stripout came with an unwanted guest!!

 

[Qwerty]

Good stuff mate (apart from Roland rat!). Was that a days rip out?

Yeah mate, started this morning, ripped the lot out, one of the joists is rotten so that's first on agenda tomorrow! First fix plumbing, get floor back in and will need to baton and level ceiling. 120 mile round trip this one too!

 

[DGJ]

120 miles!............Ouch!

You have a skip for that? Would cost a bit in rubble bags if not:lol:

Update on bathroom refurb, started on floor, several joists had sunk over years so got jack from van and lifted them back level, fitted noggins between them. Sorted all plumbing out, floor glued and screwed, still to be done with hardie, shower cable and pipe raggled into wall, ceiling was running off about 30mm so battoned and levelled, sheeted with plasterboard and tidied up.

 

[trevortine]

Window reveal needed building up, Cement board glued and screwed and floor tiles laid, Plywood and cement board used to bring height up for shower tray, Wall tiling started leaving gap for mosaics,

And the finished job,

Looks great mate. No JOTM entry?

 

[trevortine]

Thought it was kinda basic looking for JOTM Bri, got one coming up shortly that is a bit more posh looking!!

I don't think it's basic at all mate, it's all about the quality. Don't miss out on a chance of some free stuff!

Indeed .

would sooner see a job like that on jotm , from start to finish, done right, than some marble floor that's been done by a crew and has taken months to do...

 

[trevortine]

Only thing is I have no date pic to verify its just been done, took 8 days start to finish by the way and I done everything apart from final connection of 10 mm cable to consumer unit!

Very good mate, as the others boys said get it in the JOTM

 

[Martino]

Did you fit the shower base on top of the floor tiles mate? never seen this before?

I did martino, reason being with quad trays its easy to accomplish a really neat finish!

 

[Mr T]

what did you use to adher the shower tray to the backerboard mate? and did you fix it in with anything else?

 

[trevortine]

Single part flex adhesive on both floor and base of shower to achieve solid bed, shower base silicone sealed along all edges before pushing fully home.

 

[Mr T]

complete turn around of a bathroom mate hope to be able to complete work anywhere near this standard one day

Stick in mate! Keep researching and go at your own pace. I like to think people can do anything if they put their mind to it!
