Before or after?

[Chalker]

Just finished this bathroom. More work than meets the eye.
Just not sure if it looked better before or after.
The customer is painting the walls in various colours next week.
The floor tiles are bent like bananas and non slip. I have worn my nails to the finger ends grouting and cleaning the buggers

I prefer the first pic, which I'm assuming is the before.

I quite like the nice clean look of the after pic. Not too sure about the vanity cabinet, but I guess that'll depend on the paint job.
shame about the bowed tiles too, but what can you do!?!

 

[beanz]

... Oh! And the loo brush... Hate them on display like that. Just a personal taste thing I suppose, but I think they pretty much always look disgusting!! Hehe

Is this a younger couple remodelling it or the same owner who had it installed in the first pic?

 

[Lee@emctiles]

ive seen a lot worse bathrooms than the first pick, but its good that customers keep changing there bathrooms.......keeps us all in a job!!!

Yeah, First one for me,looks more homely,second one looks like a hotel bathroom tbh.

'Before' for me too. Don't get me started on those non slip tiles!

I like the original.

Before for me too I'm afraid!, but good on her!, be interesting to see the paint colours!

The second is the nicer of the 2 for me. Would have changed the WC pan though as the styling doesn't go now. Not sure on the vanity unit although I admire her for having a bit of fun with it.

Well done for going to the trouble of lowering the shower waste, unlike the previous installer who expects people to carry step ladders around with them.

Thanks for noticing , there was a washing machine waste from the kitchen that was run under the bath too. (2 days work re-routing drains) I said in a previous post the bathroom looks very plain but sometimes to make tiling/ bathrooms look effortless there is a lot of effort put in to make it look that way.

Even though its our job to stick tiles up, sometimes I think less is more (I know the 1st pic is 1/2 walls also!). 1 or 2 tiled walls with a plastered wall breaks it up & looks better (IMO)

I like the new one.
The old one was fine,if it was mine and the wife wanted to change it I'd be going mad "it's fine,I only did it 10 years ago"
Well that's what I said last year,still had to bloody tile it though

As a plumber I can see the work involved in lowering the shower tray. and it looks great!!
More impressed with a 82 yr old wanting a modern bathroom.
