Nearly finished!!!

[Colour Republic]

This ones been going on for sometime as we are doing other works at the property and we went off site for 4 weeks, So I'll be glad when it's finished!

Just the skirting to go on, bit more painting, final fix and Silicon.












Hands up if youy dread black grouting (or in this case anthracite) !!

I like the oldskool style furniture.

Wow. The block wall looks quite sinister, don't you think?... like a Victorian wash house /prison, wouldn't like it for myself, but the work is amazing, really well done, and amazing attention to detail

Yeah had a real battle on my hands with this one!

She wanted it tiled floor to ceiling but I convinced her to let me add some paneling - now she loves it

She wanted me to paint the paneling white but I convinced her it would be better with a colour and a Victorian one at that (two weeks of convincing no less!) - Now she loves it

The sink didn't come with brackets so I convinced her it would look better with some scrolls - now she loves it

She wanted black grout, I didn't manage to convince her to go lighter:mad2:, about the only thing she stood her ground on - but she still likes it so it's all good.

This bathroom took some sourcing! I'm now just waiting for the extractor fan which I think will go great with the tiles and had to be jet proof as it's in the shower area, notice the beveled edges to match the tiles, just hope I can scratch off the logo

What service!

lovely job Rob

shame about the grout colour, but if thats their choice , so be it

on the upside it highlights the perfect tiling and makes a feature of the brick effect, so I can see where they are coming from on this, but a lighter coloured would have done the same thing

it also ages the tiling which might of been another thought she was having

the only complaint I have is that its in here instead of jotm

fantastic job Rob, you should be very proud of what you and your team produce mate first-class

Yeah I wanted a grey or even a dark gray, just something that was slightly softer on the eye, her main issue was that it's hard to keep white perfect but I did also say it can work the other way too where black grout can show limescale deposits up



The reason it's not in JOTM is that it's not finished and the tiling that whilst i'm happy with it, it isn't anything special or skilled like some of the natural stone ones can be

lovely job!...has got that 'PSYCHO' vibe going on hasn't it?..if someone starts playing a screechy violin when you're in the shower...run!:death::74:

[DHTiling]

Nice job.. looks very well...

 

[charlie1]

That's a cracking piece of work CR!, so many people tend to go for the modern stuff without taking the age and style of the house in to consideration when choosing there tiles, those little brick tiles look fab with contrasting grout colour , my preference tbh!

 

[united]

Great Job mate, your pride and passion really stands out in your work

 

[david campbell]

looks great mate!
got the old antique and classical theme going on!

:lol::lol::lol: It is a bit


I was wondering if anybody would notice the lack of shower curtain. I had designed it to have a shower screen as I prefer them but the room just isn't big enough so whilst the toilet would see be usable access would be restricted.

I'm now thinking along these lines but there is also an issue with ceiling height, i'm hoping it can pull this off without making the room look even smaller than it already is

What do you think?

In chrome of course

 

[Scott]

Nice job CR, however its not my taste at all.

On the subject of screen/curtain How about this, i have fitted these before and not so intrusive as the screen is smaller?

Atlas shower curtain bath screen

Those rings are awful as the curtain sticks to you!

Yeah I agree, I did think about one of them but I haven't seen one that has a Victorian feel about it - I know they didn't have them in victorian times before anybody get smart!:smilewinkgrin:

Maybe I should look a bit harder as it is the best solution

 

[Scott]

Couldnt you get one made??

 

[user123]

Hmmm, not easy is it... how about the satin/linen feel pure white striped woven polyester shower curtains? They don't cling to you, are water repellent (droplet effect and come in pure white and can be washed in the washing machine, come out pure white again.

 

[Colour Republic]

not really in the budget or timescale mate, if it was a highend bathroom then yeah I'd do it.

 

[Scott]

With the work thats gone in to that job what do you class as high end?? :yikes:

 

[Aston]

lovely job rob
and the great thing about that bathroom is it will never date or look out of fashion
well done

high level loo's aren't cheap are they Rob

nah that one was around the £400 quid mark and whilst it's nice it is over priced for the quality and that's even with my trade discount, can't remember which distributor it came through now, think it was claygate?

I did make them suffer though, there was a problem with the flush pipe and the bracket (not shown in pictue) that holds it. It didn't fit together as it should so whilst I could have forced it and made it work I thought why should I at that price, so I made them send me out another.... that didn't work so I got them to send another one... I might get them to keep sending them until I get my money back in scrap metal:lol:

 

[mikebidd]

I think thats stunning mate. Looks like its been an original feuture for years. I mean that in a good way.
