Here's a little one we did earlier this year. All designed, supplied and installed by us.

This was part of a complete property refurbishment we did and is a small 1 bed holiday let apartment on Brighton seafront. The place was in a pretty bad state as it had been let to hosing association tenants who had clearly had some big dogs in there and the place was crawling with fleas when we started and I mean alive with them!

We finished it around July but are going back to finish some bits off as we didn't have enough time before the first summer time holiday makers turned up. So in the bathroom we are adding a some 10mm glass around the shower area to deflect water and also some 10mm glass floating shelves above the built-in washing machine. To be honest the wetroom works fine without the glass as we gently sloped the whole floor towards the former but as it's a holiday let you just don't how sensible people will be.

You may notice the shower riser has been set quite low and this is deliberate. We want to encourage people to use the ceiling shower rose as the spread of water is much more controllable in such a small room. However i'm aware that some ladies like the option of not washing their hair every time they have a shower so I included a hand held shower so they don't have to. It also make it easier for the cleaners to rinse down on change over days.

The grout on the floor looks patchy in places but it's not. it just needs a good clean around the shower tray to remove soap scum.

Lastly the wall tiles look cream but are in fact a matt white, It's amazing just how cream they have come out in the pics really as the difference in shade between the suite and the tiles is no where near that much in real life.

Wetroom floor and former was Marmox
Walls were new plasterboard then tanked with Dural Durabase WP
Suite, shower and taps were mainly Hudson Read
Tiles are Porcelanosa
Adhesive was BAL (can't remember which one now) Grout was Tilemaster 3000.

As I say it was part of a complete refurbishment so thought I might as well chuck in some of the main living area.

Again it wasn't completed 100% back in July so still a few things to add to it. Mainly some finishing panels to the kitchen area (I've removed some in the pics because i've started work again). The worktops were temporary black laminate but is getting swapped out for white Corian and the mezzanine area is having glass balustrades around it.

Again all designed, supplied and installed by us. Only thing we didn't spec was the sofa but I think they made a pretty good choice on that as that's my kinda style.:)

as I say this is where the glass balastrade will go, so will look quite flash once completed...

That wetroom, despite being tiny, you've done a great job of making it look pretty spacious to me..... Like it..... Alot...... Do you mind me asking which tiles they are?
