Customers' bath had been leaking on and off for years (they kept re-sealing) but it eventually did this to their kitchen ceiling:

Was a 2 room toilet/bathroom set up so first (and best job) was demolishing the party wall. Built a stud wall with a new central door frame and removed old tiles, vinyl floor tiles (thankyou Fein) and gut:

Drylined window wall and new stud.
All the pipework was surface mounted so first fix involved routing it all under the floor boards for a nicer finish:

Replaced rotten floor boards from leak and recessed new shower feed into wall:

Customer wants spots and extractor fan in ceiling and has opted for a floating ceiling so battened that off for later allowing me to work on the set out. Plan is to have the floor tiles lipping up the walls and bath panel to form a skirting if the set out allows.

I got a ceiling just like that. took me a while to figure out what was leaking. sealed the shower several times all to no avail. Upon further investigatioon I found I'd forgot to put the little rubber sealing ring on the drain joint to my ensuite shower. Doh!!!!

Last time I forgot the rubber I ended up in the maternity suite :yikes:

The small cut above the door was the compromise of this set out. Was more important to have a nice size skirting, decent cut size above bath and for windows to be centered on the horizontal.
