Long story........

As above, NOT a DIY job.

£450 estimate......just out of interest what estimate could I expect if tiled? This might be a better option as move tilers in the area?

I've just had a small bathroom done on a job. It was prob only about 3m max, one internal corner to weld. £120 + vat supplied and fitted.

Not a true wetroom floor, but only 3 corners from being one.

I had self levelled the floor though!

Thanks Chris. I am no further forward, I told the guy to go ahead and do it but he hasn't got back to me so back where I started. You said you self-levelled the floor, my concrete floor is sloped to the drain but now uneven with ridges (was done 20 years ago) and obviously don't want pools every where. I did think about using SLF to even it out and make the concrete smooth (screwfix do a SLF that you can feather at the edge or in my case drain) but I would assume the SLF would flow towards the drain? Hopefully I can't find someone in the meantime to put the lino done and weld the 2 internal corners. Thank god we have a bath upstairs we can still use lol 🙂

If the floor isn't too rough and just has a few 'dings' in then you could always just fill with rapid set tile Addy perhaps? Its not too complicated to lay once your floor is smooth.

Mark the height of your wall trims all the way around.

Cut/mitre your coving.

Spray/brush impact adhesive and stick trim/cove on.

Measure your new flooring, cutting it so you have about 6" excess on every side, after wrapping up wall.

Spray adhesive on floor.

With a helper, center flooring and roll out from middle .making sure you don't get creases.

Then apart from trimming to fit under your wall trims, it just leaves the corners 😀

Chris......forgot to get back here but after exhausting all my avenues trying to get someone to do this I thought 'I will have a go'!
Scrapped off the crap off the floor the levelled it (fill in the indents really) & got some adhesive from screwfix. Cut the lino and 'double lapped' the 2 corners with 3 hidden strips of waterproof sealant each side. That was about 3 months ago and so far so good No doubt when we sell the house someone will come in and change it (for tiles?) or make it into a utility room etc

I thought your chances of getting it done by a pro were slim.

I had no choice but to try myself. All in the lino, adhesive, SLF around about a ton. I do think tiles look much nicer........next time 😉
