Need help with my bathroom
Comments (7)I have just gone through this process. My plumber and the specialist tiler each made the same points: (1). Around the "heavy water flow" areas, mosaics are higher risk. The weakest point for water getting in is the grouting. If you use small tiles, you maximise the chances of water damage simply because there is more grouting. (2). Very large wall tiles make their lives more difficult. I used huge wall tiles (90cm X 30cm) and they both said that those very large tiles are more difficult to ensure a completely flat surface. The plastered walls are never completely flat and even and it is easier to adjust adhesive levels with more regular sized tiles. Not a reason to avoid massive tiles (although they seem to be more expensive) but just be aware. On the upside, there are fewer grout lines, so less likely to get water damage! (3). If you get a heavily textured tile surface, it is much more difficult to get a really clean tile cut when they need to trim them. Can result in higher wastage as a result. So, overall, I'd avoid mosaics other than as a trim in bath or shower areas. To keep costs down and make the job faster, go for a smooth wall tile no bigger than 60x40cm. Or ignore all this and go for what you love!...See MoreNeed help for my bathroom paint colour
Comments (1)Dulux offer a massive range of mix your own colour choices. We use a lot of dulux paint and find that the shades come out just slightly lighter than those on the cards. Find an actual dulux store, or go to Homebase they mix also. dulux colour charts...See MoreNeed help for my bathroom
Comments (4)Hi - I don't know if you've decided on your mosaic tiles but I'd be delighted to help you with them. We have a Custom Blender online design tool where you can select from a palette of mosaic tiles and create your own bespoke tile blend which is then handmade in Scotland. We offer border layouts in both 10mm and 20mm tiles. Our production process makes the blends easy to install. If you want to have a look, here is the link for the blender. http://mosaicshack.com/custom-blender/...See MoreNeed help for my bathroom layout
Comments (2)The toilet was going to stay in the current position. Bath along the back wall and a basin maybe on the right hand wall. I'm just struggling for ideas and don't want to start the first fix plumbing until I'm entirely sure on layout Thank you for your response :)...See MoreVictoria Johnston
