Bodged Or Not? aqua-dec Shower Former Drain Issue

[p4ulo]

Wow, love the bizarre plumbing style.
Did you come up with that idea, had you seen it on the programme or is the plumber just from Siberia?
Really cool touches, and you're right, the tiling does look really sharp.
Thanks for the phots, give us some of the toilet etc and is that a towel radiator or just an old window shutter?

Toilet as requested! A restored wooden JakPak toilet- it makes a very satisfying flush noise! With copper flush pipe - heated so the to bring out some mottled colours. Actually we tried to do all the pipes like this and got some amazing results but can't get the colouring to stay. I've read a lot of advice on products that definitely work to achieve a long lasting result but none do! The red door is a old french louvre door and is a little cupboard. My other half must take the credit for the inspiration - he wanted an industrial / vintage / unique bathroom. Once he had had the idea though - I like to think I've helped bring it to life! One of our biggest challenges was - no chrome!

Approach them!
Send email with images, asking if they would like to feature it.

Just don't tell them too much initially, just an overview.
If you choose right magazine I'm sure your offer will be taken.

Another way to show your work is to join Houzz.co.uk

U can display it urself or there are competitions and the like u can enter, I'm positive u'll get a good response there!
They have an app and website obviously.
I'd think about watermarking your images first tho Julia, or they're likely to be stolen, figuratively speaking of course!

Do try tho!
It'd be great to see it published!
And of course keep us up to date and if u mentioned the forum by accident, well ya know! Haha

Good luck.

Just filing my pics away and I found this - this is the 'before'! Seems a fitting end...
I am off to figure out how to watermark pics...
