I would not worry about putting a modern acrylic freestanding bath with a ceramic basin - the majority of our customers who buy freestanding baths opt for ceramic basins and they look great together. Acrylic freestanding baths offer lots of advantages over other materials - they're light and easy to move (many people don't consider how problematic it could be to actually get the bath into their upstairs bathroom), they're strong, affordable and often offer better thermal efficiency when compared to stone or steel baths. In terms of carrying on the design consistency in your bathroom suite the most important thing is ensuring your toilet and basin match, so try to get the same range if possible. Of course, if you are buying a modern freestanding bath then try to get a modern basin and toilet that share some design elements.

Thanks Victoria. That's just what we're after and almost perfect... except it's 10cm too wide. I'm just not sure if there is any way round that, e.g. widening the cabinet frame with an extra slat of wood at the sides.... the doors will be made to measure so could cover all that, but I'm not sure how the hinges would work and I'd prefer it if they were functional...

Hi, Is there anything that makes you think it would be difficult to remove and replace the existing tiles? It looks like you have a wall hung wc pan (hard to tell in the photos), so no problem with that, and the tiled bath panel helps as well. If there was electric underfloor heating then it would make sense to avoid lifting the existing but otherwise its the best way to do it. If fitting a new floor you would want to have new sealant to the perimeter of the room, floors to wall, anyway so that would cover any join between the new floor and existing walls. Personally I would remove and replace with whatever you like, tiles amtico etc. etc. Then you have a brand new floor that you know will last. Sheet vinyl over the top of the existing will show the indentations of the existing grout lines and anything else will add unnecessary height to the threshold and may be uneven. Good luck with the work and make sure to post up photos when its all done.

I have an Ikea kitchen and most non Ikea appliances fit their carcasses no problem, apart from the dishwasher. We used John Lewis ovens, great, an Ikea freezer as it was cheap and easy to replace if it goes wrong, but the massive pain was the dishwasher. We bought their basic one and within a couple of months the heating element went. It took a lot of time to arrange an engineer to come out, he did and fixed it. Then the door was a problem, then the element went again. I thought, this time I will replace it with a John Lewis one, but they are NOT compatible. You can't put a non Ikea dishwasher in one of their low carcasses. I reluctantly had to buy another Ikea one, but this time got the one with a 5 year guarantee. The engineer said all the parts are the same, so it could go wrong again. Which magazine doesn't rate Ikea appliances very well so worth a look on there. All said and done, it's a small price to pay for a well designed kitchen that is really good value.
