Back of the drawer hits pipes in bathroom

8 years ago

We Have a vanity drawer in bathroom which hits pipes. What is the name of the thing which allows you to cut out a piece of the back of the drawer and place it inside so draw can shut? (If it exists)

Do you have any photos of the pipework at the back of the unit?

Any chance you have enough room outside the bath for a barn door? That would open up your floor plan greatly. I just got done installing pocket doors in my bath and office, huge space saver-but a lot of work. The barn door concept wont give you the air tight seal of a door but since ive put mine in, it is hardly ever used lol. If you can do either of those I would seriously consider moving the door closer to the tub and putting your vanity on the wall to the left. You will have a lot more storage, the layout will seem less hectic and if you are doing this for yourself (not planning on moving) you will enjoy it more. My initials used to be AD lol, now I am ADG

HELP! Bathroom on a Budget!

Certain “nifty” things may not cost the world especially if you don’t have to pay the plumber / your dad (oh well... we always owe our parents and they’re sure not to forget ...) :-) Your post tickles the Scrooge in me :-) Relocating the bath to the window and fitting a shower screen seems like a great / easy start to end up with a notably more luxurious Ambiente. Let’s price some components: If your water pressure is not entirely abysmal (ground floor should do if your gravity fed header tank is in the attic) then you may be able to use a shower/bath mixer/diverter (many types available starting from about 100£ like https://www.ergonomicdesigns.co.uk/product/REI3417~hudson-reed-reign-triple-with-diverter-concealed-thermostatic-shower-valve.html) and run both bath filler and overhead (rain-)shower or handheld shower from it. As was mentioned, a flush-with-ceiling “shower tile” (https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/hudson-reed-270mm-ceiling-tile-shower-head-head80, or “German upgrade” to https://www.ukbathrooms.com/products/hansgrohe-raindance-air-overhead-shower-260-x-260mm.html) would give the spa-type look and at that size will probably work with the just-under 1bar you get from a gravity fed supply. You only need a handheld shower/small extra wall outlet to complete, about 20£ for the outlet/shower holder and a few quid for the handset on eBay. For the bath, overflow filler wastes like https://www.tapwarehouse.com/product/708a keep the looks neat (make sure you get one long enough for the bath you choose) and would also connect invisibily to the mixer valve. You’d built something like this: Just using your bathtub not a shower lay. If you want to cap your bathtub costs and stay with plastic (in which case 250£ give you choice choice choice) then you can make an acrylic bath feel a lot more sturdy if you built a wooden or C-steel frame for it so it’s supported under the rim and from beneath the tub’s floor plate. Makes a huge difference to the experience. Shower screens are from about 50£ for a 4mm x 1400mm x 800mm and again if you go to 100£ your choice grows a lot. If you’re into the modern look, a hidden cistern for the toilet, like https://www.screwfix.com/p/fluidmaster-schwab-duplo-xs-in-wall-toilet-frame-cistern/2249x can be found from around 100£. Large mirrors that help make the space appear big ... can either be found via recycling (lots of 2nd hand shops ...), or you buy a cheap set of IKEA ones and tile them (use silicone not tile adhesive - the latter may dissolve the mirror layer over time). IKEA friendly as they are sell sets in a tile-size friendly 30x30cm, “lots”, http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/decoration/mirrors/lots-mirror-art-39151700/ rather attractive price (and correspondingly huge number of web search hits for ‘Ikea lots mirror ideas’). For tiles, it’s about waiting the opportunity; all tile shops occasionally have joblots / leftovers so with a little luck... if you see commercial properties especially hotels being done up where you are, try to chat to them larger projects often have surplus. The result of such will luck hugely more pricey than it is, especially if the workmanship is good. Good luck with your bathroom and let us know how the result looks like!

final bathroom design - semi industrial?
Q
Comments (78)
@Jaya Garella I wasn't 100% sure what you meant by 'the bras'? haha. none of the tiles on the mock up pic are anything I have specifically chosen - they are the least offensive on the app I had which is a house mock up program and not specifically for bathrooms. I would need a splashback with a sink unit though as that back sink/wc wall is just a wood frame at the moment so will need plasterboarding. Part of me wants to avoid the grey as although I love a rich grey, the rest of my house is off black by F&B so very dark and moody. In the tiles in a small room it might be a bit drab? I'm also struggling to find patterned tiles that I could put all over the bath wall and bath that wouldn't be too much ie too large a pattern or too small. I would then have to have maybe a wood effect (vinyl or tile) on the floor as I think pattern on the floor and bath panel and large wall might be too much? You don't see the bath wall when you walk in as the door opens to the left and hides it. Trying to find some industrial glam images of alternative options as I'm a bit stuck in a rut with it and my bathroom fitting team is a bit old school so not up on design! haha

Better use a smaller sink to gain more workspace (45cm unit). And some extra units (be it 40cm deep) to place toaster, coffemachine, etc. Can't suggest a builder nor costs, as I'm in the Netherlands. I sell Rotpunkt kitchens at work (good quality at a 'reasonable' price), but have an ikea kitchen at home. Husband and I both have a technical background and budget is tight, so we diy most of our home improvements. Where is the 3 meter wall in your layout? Did I read the measurements wrong?
