What type of bathroom floor do you have?

[cupcakes]

We discovered a leaking pipe under our bath last night and subsequently had a plumber round this morning. In light of this we have now finally had the incentive to replace the old carpet that's been there since we moved in.
Don't think we want carpet again. The room is pale yellow with the bath and units clad in white tongue and groove.
So what do you have and what do you think would look good?

IIRC, Marmoleum is about £20 per sq. m.

We have Rhinofloor

It's cushioned lino - feels warm underfoot, but is really easy to clean. The tiles and suite are white, and the floor is a marbley blue - it looks really crisp.

Can't remember how much it was per square foot, but our bathroom is about 8'x6' (obviously there's a bath in there though, so take a bath-sized bit off!) and we paid £90 at the beginning of last year. Does that sound right? I can't remember at all now!

hi we have beech laminate flooring that is waterproof..only did it last year and its sooo easy to clean...have smae flooring in ds room but with a rug down

We have lino - with three men in the house who can't aim straight carpet is a no no.

I removed the old carpet a couple of years ago, sanded the pine floorboards with a hand held orbital, filled between the gaps and varnished in I think Ronseal Diamond Hard. Still looks lovely. Nice and warm too because the radiator pipes run under it.

My parents have DALSOUPLE a rubber floor with raised circles on, it's fantastic. Comes in loads of different colours and is perfect for children as it is nonslip, easy to clean after water, wees and who knows what is all over it. We would definitely use it if we were doing a bathroom.

We have bluey grey marmoleum.....

Girls bathroom has got this
water tiles in the water design. It comes in square tiles & is really easy to lay (dh did it in 2 evenings - altho he is good at diy). Looks great and feels lovely underfoot. It's also a bit different & everyone seems to like it. We've got cork in ours (or will have when dh puts it down) look under cork here cork , as our bathroom is more 'natural' looking so wanted something 'real'.

Oak floor. Varnished floor in the Bathroom can be a bit tricky with wear, better using Danish oil, can re apply every year and it looks better with age.. Aplly first coat with wire wool and buff with rag.

Big square white tiles. And various mats in varying stages of mankiness.

ooh, Berries, I like Water!

We have disgusting carpet in our bathroom, mostly because we have crappy ancient floorboards at all different levels, with gaps, and screws sticking up. We need to have chipboard (or something) boards laid instead but it's just too complicated (sigh)

Don't know where you are, but World's End Tiles in Battersea have a good selection of all sorts of tiles, including some fake limestone-type ones that we went for ? look nice and, surprisingly, not cold on feet or particularly slippery. Mind you, if I was doing it again, I'd be really tempted to have one of those Dalsouple ones with raised dots on, as I think they look great & practical. I'd be interested to know, though, bluesky, whether the circles get a bit scuffed over time. And whether dust collects round them. (Just nosey ? not querying your parents' cleaning habits! )

the en suite has oak laminate foor - special laminate for bathrooms. Great, warm, easy to clean.

the bathroom has lino, put in by previous owners, but gets slippery when wet for the kids!

we have horrible carpet, but have checked out all the above links and will spend a fortune kitting the bathroom out asap! (ie next year!)

Ditto Frizbe, v interesting reading. Not sure how dh will take to raised rubber circles underfoot every morning, but i think they look cool. We ripped up carpet in our old house, and put down tiles, which i found slippery when wet, and as ds has inherited my ability to fall over my own feet, think i'll go for some lino/plastic stuff when i rip up our inherited pee smelling bathroom carpets.

We have Amtico (must have been feeling very flushed, `cause its very pricey!) That said, have now used Karndean in down stairs loo - just as good imo and less expensive.

tiles - had never heard of carpet for a bathroom until I moved to the UK... and then stripped the carpet out of dh's bathroom and put down tiles. Will be going for large rough tiles when we redo the bathroom.

SO easy to clean and wipe and not particularly cold.

same for DH eidsvold, he was freaked out by the carpet in the bathroom at my parent's house. Must say on reflection it isn' the most sanitary flooring option

We have Dalsouple - when we had our bathroom redone we went for mostly budget stuff, but really splashed (sorry) out on the flooring and on the bath (being dp's & my priorities). The flooring is fantastic - if you're not sure what it is, it is the stuff you find in the stair wells & lifts in John Lewis'! I guess that means it's really hard wearing. DS can splash all he likes in the bathroom, and it just wipes dry. It has the little raised bumps so it isn't slippery and it is warm and soft on your feet. We have it about 6 inches up the wall too - so it's really waterproof. We love our bathroom flooring (in fact, just thinking about it has cheered me up!)

Very interesting thread (of course I don't have a life...) with some great ideas which I think I will revisit. We have carpets in both bathrooms which were put in when the house was built and so are 4+ years old and with two young children not looking their best. The en-suite one is not too bad in terms of cleanliness but there is a diagonal worn track from the door to the loo and a worn spot just outside the shower door while the rest is like new. The other bathroom which the kids use is (not surprisingly pretty manky. Almost 4 yo DS has certainly put his mark on it and 8mo DD daubs it with toothpaste daily.

But want something thats comfy on my knees when I'm knelt at the side of the bath. My SIL has small bumpy tiles and when I bath the kids there it kills my knees - she's got a 3mo herself so don't know how she manages. Like the look of that Splash for the kids though.

just invest in a really fluffy/shaggy bath mat.. that is what I have and it stops the tiles marking my knees when I am bathing the babes.

Suzy I was stunned - I guess though having the toilet in the same room as your bathroom was also a rather foreign idea to me - most houses in Aus have a small room for the loo and then the bathroom in a separate room - or it is partitioned off rather than just being in the bathroom - usually next to the basin....

We've got dark, slate grey ceramic tiles on all our bathroom floors. Same in the kitchen.

Berries, we've got those Harvey Maria tiles in daisied in our loo and they look great....
