To ask you to show me your bathrooms?

Ignore me! I have Google lensed it and it looks like Monzo .

@Talipesmum looks lovely! Can you share where you bought the vanity unit and storage cupboard. Love the fact they are wall mounted.

A couple of before pics.

Still got the loo and floor to go in, but really happy with ours.

Thanks, nice of you to say. Perhaps it’s the lower res pics on this website, I was fairly happy with it but it is a bugger to get an absolutely perfect finish with.

Surface prep has to be spot on, any little lump or dip or bump will show up super clear as the metallic effect reflects the light differently. And it’s also very fussy with application- you really have to concentrate getting the perfect amount of paint per area with the roller, too little and it just streaks. And lastly got to resist the temptation to touch anything you’ve just painted as it’s super easy to drag the surface and then it clumps up and looks like a lumpy mess. It’s tricky to work with. That was 4 coats I think, the first 2 looked awful but then it started to come together.

@Holidaisy that
is an incredible change, you must be thrilled!!

@SomersetClimber I really like your bath where is it from?

We have a shower over our bath and it's got a larger part where we stand in the shower?
Does yours work with room?

don't get a sink like this:

as the water goes everywhere and make sure the sinks are at the correct height. we had one installed that was too high for us shorter (5 ft 2) women.

This is our en-suite, we had it done just before Xmas and so far the black isn't proving a problem ( although we did go with chrome taps due to what we had heard)

Following with interest as I’ve just bought somewhere that needs a new bathroom, but I’ve spent almost all the money on the house itself! I’d be interested to know what people think is the lowest price you could get away with these days for redoing a small basic bathroom, nothing fancy or high end unfortunately!

I love our bathroom apart from
• the cheap plastic bath. Dc scratched it with bath toys and now it never looks clean. Also the bath panel doesn’t fit properly (this is due to our wonky floors rather than a fault with the bath though) so it bangs every time anyone gets in or out of the bath.
• the flooring. We got vinyl due to the wonky floors making tiling more difficult and the design itself is ok (although I’ve now decided it’s a bit dark) but dp fitted it himself and it just looks shit around the edges with a line of wonky silicone sealing it to the skirting board. And again the silicone never looks clean because the dust sticks to it and if you scrub it it starts flaking.
• the old Victorian skirting boards are themselves dust gatherers and have layers and layers of old paint on so aren’t smooth.

If you are tiling floors, underfloor heating is a must - especially if bathroom doesn’t benefit from rooms around it. Ie our en-suite is over an undercroft.

@Donesaidtheunicorn any recommendations for north Devon? I’ve a tiny bathroom with a bath down one side but I’d love a shower (it’d have to be over it) too. Anyone got a shower over their bath where both work well on their own?

I love your bathroom. The floor and wall tiles, the high cistern loo, the freestanding bath. This is how I'd want my bathroom to look if I had free reins to do so.

We are pricing ours up currently and are in the process of obtaining quotes

We are having to get ours re-modelled as our 6ft 4, 17.5 stone 15 year old professional rugby player no longer fits in a standard bath or our current corner shower.

Due to his needs we are remodelling with a walk in shower.

We are going with high quality panels, on 3 walls, decorative tile on the main shower wall (undecided on this yet) the shower space will have inbuilt storage on the wall opposite the shower.

I'm re doing my bathroom - on a budget - at the moment. I've done with dark wood effect LVT - actually very easy to fit yourself
Dark blue above white tile - it's only one wall and the bathroom window is huge so doesn't make it dark.
I didn't have blinds previously but I'm going to get one in a floral pattern just to add a bit of interest
Slimline enhet cabinet from IKEA but found on FB marketplace
I would say when I've finished I'll have spent about £150
I've got to mastic today though and I HATE that job 😅

Does the recess not gather limescale and mold?
My brother has similar and that part is already discoloured.

Things I have chosen and like - acrylic shower panels. You can get some fab colours! Tongue and groove panelling. Ours is painted white, which means we can have a deeper colour on the wall above it. Wider than normal bath - not by a lot, but enough to make it possible for very overweight me to have a bath.

Things I have chosen and do NOT like. Wood effect ceramic floor tiles with dark grout. Our tiler laid them with quite a big gap between the tiles so talcum powder etc. gets stuck in between the tiles and it's not easy to clean the floor properly. It's only in one bathroom - we have similar tiles in our downstairs shower/utility room and they're fine. I think it is the way that they are laid that is the problem.

Our family bathroom is deep lavender and white. Our en suite is peppermint green with mustard touches in the blind. Our downstairs shower/utility has crimson panels in the shower and one crimson wall, all the rest are cream. I love the colours but I'm not sure that a prospective buyer would, so if we ever sell we will probably repaint. The panels will have to stay though.

I have a very small bathroom with no window (live in a flat), so decided to get it fully tiled. Dark grout means I’ve never needed to clean the grout and it still looks good. I would definitely recommend getting a recess built in to shelve toiletries in the shower 😊.
