[Misc] Bathroom refit

[Deadly Danson]

Following my query about a leaking tap on here a few months ago, I was kindly recommended by many for @Wrong-Direction to assist which he did. Subsequently he has just completed a full refurb on my toilet and bathroom and has done an excellent job and I'm very pleased with the results. So just wanted to thank those who took the time to recommend him, thank @Wrong-Direction for his work and if anyone is thinking of getting their bathroom done then drop him a line. A great example of the benefits of being part of NSC.

Did @Wrong-Direction nick the loo roll?

@Wrong-Direction is so good, he does himself out of work. Replacing taps and loo’s here about 4 years ago, they never go wrong.

Looks a good job . Possibly tried to source a slightly smaller sink in proportion to the width of the room but it maybe just the photo angle.

That heated towel rail is more often than not going to cause ouchy burns to the left leg of anybody trying to use the bathroom basin. Unless of course it has a towel permanently draped over it. Or is permanently switched off

Those wouldn't be porcelain tiles by chance

That's going to get a bit steamed up when the shower goes full Niagara. Watch out for mould on the sealant.

Looks nice though.

I'm afraid so. He LOVED them

Nice job, what is the pros and cons of plastic laminate for showers instead of tiles? Anyone know?

 

[Dave the OAP]

That looks brilliant and just what we are looking for.

@Wrong-Direction are You available to come up and give us a quote for redesigning the bathroom and installing a walk in shower like the photos above please

I wonder if he does golden showers?

Always a valid consideration. Is there an extractor fan? Lots of people now have grey sealant or better still shower boarding that looks like tiles

I had a builder recommend plastic laminate wall panels when they wanted to complete my bathroom to a budget. I didn’t like what they brought as samples, so they recommended I go down to the company that sold them all and pick my favourite.

I did, and let’s just say I upped my budget and stuck with proper stone tiles.

I have the feeling that they will date in exactly the same way as laminate flooring or decking/artificial grass in gardens. They mostly imitate something else (e.g. marble, brick etc) although there were some shiny high gloss options that were unashamedly plastic.

Not for me, but if you wish there was more plastic in your life, the builder assured me they’d do a job.

They're known to some in the trade as caravan panels. Look cheap and can be a pain to fit if the walls aren't square. I recommend large format tiles

I heard he does for an additional £45 plus a PPE fee

Thanks for your expertise on the fitting side, but I was also concerned of the maintenance side, like calcium build up and thinking there is less joins that less mould could form on the caravan panels does that seem right to you?
