We've been meaning to replace our bathroom for the last couple of years and put it off because of the hassle but now we've discovered that we've had a slow leak under the bath and the bath will have to come out and a new floor go in – so we might as well do the lot.
The guy who came out to deal with the leak referred us to a bathroom fitter he works with who says that instead of the usual three-month wait he can do the job in early November. We need to choose and order sanitary ware, tiles and flooring asap and I'm completely unprepared.
We'll probably be selling the house in a couple of years so we want something neutral-looking and moderately priced. Can anyone recommend where to start looking for bathroom suites? I like the look of those oblong-shaped tiles: possibly a hazy pale blue or green – or do people hate colours? Are the oblong tiles going out of fashion now? Looking at picture of bathrooms I see a lot more Aquaboard-type panels in use instead of tiles. Is this a trend? It used to be a cheap and cheerful solution. I don't want a tiled floor – too cold. Is vinyl acceptable these days? Do people expect the kind of built-in units that conceal cisterns and pipework?
I'm overwhelmed by all the choices and nervous of making a poor decision. We don't have enough money floating around to be able to afford a mistake. All tips and ideas gratefully received.
