I am looking for advice on this sink as I really quite like it and would love to funk it up a little so it matches with the bath fittings in my new flat!
Does anyone know if the taps and little water spout can be changed?

Need advice on kitchen sink drainer!
Comments (11)The small amount of water that will come off the average pot, pan, crockery or cutlery won't overwhelm the grooves cut into the worktop and it will drain away fine. But whereas a sink has a natural border that stops water draining over the sides and back, a worktop with grooves cut in won't, meaning you will have water standing on the worktop around the grooves. This won't be too much of a problem if you are washing a few items as there's not a greart deal of water on a typical piece of crockery or cutlery, but it will mean water standing on the surface. In a hard water area this may will eventually lead to limescale build up so you do have to try and keep on top of this. We install a lot of kitchens and for maximum durability I'd choose quartz, personally. In fact I did and have it installed in my home, looks great and very durable and in my experience it is not as expensive as Corian....See More1930s renovation - creating a modern retro vibr
Comments (34)Hi, Your room looks massively better stripped back to the original. I've got a black marble hearth that the people who bought my old house didn't want. If you're near Canterbury you're welcome to it. I'm going to South Manchester soon so cold possibly drop it off if you're en route. I'll see if I can get a photo later....See MoreToo retro? design help!!
Comments (8)I think the tv is too low, so i'd go for something more like the height of the unit you have at the other end of the room. Change them over maybe? Definitely get rid of the carpet runner, which isn't the right size for the space. Put the picture in the other alcove with the smaller unit or over the sofa. Consider a retro room divider and you can have the play area at the opposite end to the t.v....See MoreNeed help with my bathroom layout
Comments (14)Switching the sink and loo seems a good idea to give you a fantastic vanity area with storage above to reduce the clutter. Since your entrance door is angled it won’t be the first thing seen on entry. Your idea of removing the air vent from the window - what is the plan for it’s replacement? It’s doing an important job of dehumidifying the room and a replacement will be required to maintain the pristine ceiling and grout! We recently refurbished a downstairs loo - lots of fantastic independent bathroom showrooms here in Hertfordshire. We had amazing ideas suggested to us ( some with amazing prices). We used the concepts from the very expensive design ideas with slightly less pricey option. We would not have thought of these ideas without the help of the experts, and they identified snags in our initial design that would affect the surface lines and finish that we didn’t know existed!...See More
