Opinions On A Cracked Basin Please? (solved)

[Italy]

I've just done one with a porcelain floor that looks like a polished cast iron. The colour used on the walls was like a very pale grey that looks like concrete, used a Mapei Moon White 103 for grout and silicon.

I don't think the two tiles you have chosen go well together IMO, I think it needs to be more of a contrast.

PS @macten you don't want to spend too much time sat of that loo either, not a natural shape. I have a rental with that shaped loo and they are always telling me how uncomfortable it is, best go for rounded.

I want it dark so can't have anything too contrasting. Won't know till I've seen them in the flesh but if they don't go well together I'll opt for all dark .
I don't personally like bright bathrooms (I know that's weird)

As its such a small space Nick, d'u not think those colours will close it right in?

Only bog I can source that will fit - has to be a close coupled space saver. I've already sat on it and it felt fine - maybe my arse isn't a natural shape!

Got tray and waste fitted today. Originally had basin and shower waste exiting as one pipe when I did first fix 6 years ago - had to separate them now to get over the double joist problem and new tray waste hole position so didn't quite finish all of first fix as planned. I've had to core drill new waste pipe to outside, still at least they'll be no chance of gurgling now if basin and shower is used at same time. Also fitted valve and piped up for shower heads.

Tomorrows job is to tee into water feeds and join waste to stack outside. Also just sort feed and waste for basin now I know exactly where it needs to be. Then it'll all have to wait for a bit because I need to go out and earn some more money !

Not seen them in the flesh yet Julian - they've ordered a couple so should get to see them tomorrow.
What's your opinion on post#8

 

[J Sid]

yes, floor and a wall in dark as you say, just wondering if the wall opposite the window, right as you walk in would be better in dark. That way the room doesn't look to dark as you walk in but the dark on right wall will draw you round and into the room.
any way have a play with some ideas, but I'm sure you will love the tiles.
Ardex organic earth grout will match well.

Food for thought cheers.
If I do go for those tiles I was planning on kerapoxy Anthracite and metal Anthracite box trims if funds permit but will have a butchers at the Ardex.
