Is it mad to retile a fairly new bathroom?

[Soooodenim]

It’s been in about a year and I’ve realised I’m just not good at making design decisions and I’ve ended up with something I don’t like.

I have floor to ceiling green tiles on one wall and beige on the other one and it just doesn’t look right. I’d like to remove the beige and replace with the green so it’s all matching - and I’d like the current beige wall to be half tiled instead of fully. Problem is, the loo, vanity and sink are all attached to the beige wall as is one corner of the shower tray and screen.

Would the loo etc all need to be removed in order to retile? Would it cost a fortune??

If you want a half tiled wall then you will need the wall to be replastered where the tiles have been removed.
If it's the wall where all the things are then all the bathroom bits will need removing carefully and then reinstalling. This is more expensive than removing and skipping in terms of workload.
Honestly you are talking thousands.

A pic would make it easier to see how difficult it will be?

I know it’s unhelpful but I don’t want to post a pic as it would be outing.

I know I’d have to replaster if I changed the wall to half tiles but (and I suspect this is a really stupid question😳) could at least the wall cabinet and vanity not stay in place and the tiles around them be removed and replaced??

Were they tiled round? Or are the tiles behind them?

The tiles are behind them.

Unless you can find someone who can do that magic trick where you pull a table cloth off a table while leaving the crockery in place, except the table cloth is the tiles and the crockery is the vanity unit, then no, you can't take the tiles from behind the vanity unit without removing it.
You could cut through the tiles but it is likely to rend up badly damaging the vanity unit.

Would it be less disruptive to change out the green tiles for more beige if all the sanitaryware is on the beige wall

I’m having to have a shower ripped out and retiled because the original tiler fucked it up. The new chap says he can take out and put it all back but it’s going to cost c£2k plus vat.

They should be able to remove and put back any bathroom stuff.

Can you use tile paint to help in any way?

A photo would help, you should have namechanged!

You could ask MN if they'll change your user name on your posts on this thread. (Just report your own first post & ask)

I think it would be more risk (of damage to
loo, vanity etc) difficulty (if the tiles are different thickness) & labour to cut around them, the match the cuts on the new tiles (than just removing the bits & bobs) & putting them back you might be able to leave a big patch of the beige tiles behind the vanity saving a bit of money, but that would annoy me massively.

get at least 3 quotes - or give it a go yourselves!

@Geneticsbunny 😆 no, I didn’t mean remove the tiles from behind the vanity etc - I meant remove the ones from around them and retile up to them - IYSWIM

@Galliano it would - but Sod’s Law it’s the beige ones I don’t like!

@Whatanidiot123 £2k isn’t as bad as I thought, to be honest!
