Hooray........ my Bathroom is FINALLY finished!!!

[19lottie82]

Sorry for the shameless boasting but after 6 months of living with the most horrible bathroom ever, then having no bathroom at all for a week (and having to pee in to a bucket!)..... It's finally finished! It feels like I'm in a posh hotel! Unfortunately I need to wait a week until I can switch the underfloor heating on though.

Can you tell which is the before and which is the after?

[Out2pasture]

well done!!!

[19lottie82]

I got a quote of £6.8k from an all in one bathroom fitting company but I bought all the bits online and the tiles from Homebase, then paid a local builder to fit it and managed to get it done for half that . Sorry I'll try to stop showing off now!

It's lovely. Did you get rid of the bath? I'm trying to decide if this would work or not...

[19lottie82]

flogging yes, bath is away. I did dither quite a bit about that, but we got a great rainforest style shower that totally drenches you. It's amazing, so I think we made the right choice. It's so much nicer than having to clamber into the bath to have a shower.

The bathroom feels so much bigger too, which is great, as it is very small.

[Floggingmolly]

That sounds fab

[caker]

It does look like a hotel!

[Needmorewine]

Ohhhhh lovely !

[19lottie82]

It does just now but let's see how long until it's covered in toothpaste marks and wet towels! (I give it 3 weeks)

[HerRoyalNotness]

V.v nice! And a great price too!

I'd also rather just have a walk in shower and sacrifice a bath.

[gamerchick]

That's a pretty awesome bathroom

[SmellySourdough]

I like it.
couldn't quite bring myself to gef rid of the bath, but have serious shower envy!

[19lottie82]

We got all the fittings from bathroomempire.com , it was dirt cheap and the quality is great. I couldn't recommend them enough. (I'm not spamming for the site btw, a genuine recommendation!)

[19lottie82]

DH kept humming and hawing about getting rid of the bath. I bullied him into it but he's loving the luxurious shower (and the extra space) so far!

[OTheHugeManatee]

Nice!

I love nosing at other people's bathrooms - we've done one and are midway through the other and I think about little else

[moggiek]

It looks really lovely.

[InvictusVersinium]

Yay! Enjoy it!

[VertigoNun]

I want to do similar and I love your bathroom. Where do you live , I may borrow your builder?

[19lottie82]

I'm in Glasgow Vertigo.......

[VertigoNun]

I'm not

[JillyTheDependableBoot]

It looks lovely, well done you! I so remember the heaven of getting rid of my crappy bathroom and finally having a stunning one - enjoy!

[VertigoNun]

How do you know what shower tray to get? They have low and high level trays.

[OTheHugeManatee]

Vertigo- talk to the plumber when you are getting quotes. They'll advise on shower tray based on where the waste stack is relative to the shower. The reason for a higher tray is to create more of a slope in the waste pipe so water runs away efficiently instead of pooling in the shower. If they can get a good slope just under the floor, you don't need a raised tray.

Ooh, it's lovely - congrats! And thank you also for sharing a photo - we're having our bathrooms done in June and have chosen very similar colours (in fact I think the wall tiles are the exact ones we've chosen) - although I'm looking forward to it, part of me has been worrying that it will be too dark, but seeing your bathroom, I'm now reassured!

[suzannecaravaggio]

Looks brilliant but, yikes did they really leave you without a toilet for a week??😱
I'm about to have mine refitting and the plumber promised that I'd not be
Left without a functioning toilet overnight
