Update -- my plumber finally returned. Not sure what he did while here, but he told me again it wasn't working -- then he did some work on a radiator which had a small leak. We were having a long discussion about options on pumps, new showers, taps etc and I read out the installation guide and he tried it again, and suddenly it worked. It is bizarre as I don't know how many times i tried it previously. My friend who works in construction ALSO called earlier today and tried it several times to no avail. It must have been extremely stiff or perhaps the plumber realised some airlock whilst fixing the radiator since I think water pressure is much stronger since he went. Thanks for everyones help -- i learned lots on plumbing and a valuable lesson to take out the installation manuals myself and not trust that trades men know everything!!! I feel like celebrating!!

Hello Iveta! The concept photo looks great, and we have created some very similarly inspired bathrooms here at Bathroom Eleven. If you are a London, Surrey or South-West local, perhaps we can be of assistance in turning your dream bathroom into a reality? We specialise in designing and creating luxury bathrooms. I agree that keeping the WC between the basins and the screen area is probably the better idea, so that there is a nice feature when you first walk in. I would be careful with engineered wood and perhaps consider looking at wood effect porcelain tiles - Porcelanosa have a great range. I hope we can help - drop us an email at info@bathroomeleven.co.uk if you would be interested in discussing a design appointment! Kind Regards, Bathroom Eleven Team

Hi nchavda88. It's hard to tell without a floorplan but what do you plan for above the ledge? Is that where the mirrored cabinet would go? Could you have an interesting cupboard in the corner to the right of the window? Or some cabinets between that corner and the radiator? An expanse of mirror makes the whole thing look bigger and feel more open - as I've found in my tiny bathroom and my tiny shower room. I've got storage underneath, forming a ledge, as part of a run of built-in furniture into which the loo and basin are set. It's very sleek but the tiles I've chosen add pzzazz and the mirrored wall above the ledge allows for a really open feel.

Where can I buy a walk in spa bath tub? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
