Shower over freestanding bath, without a curtain. Is my plan logical?!
Comments (48)Free standing baths are only suitable for larger rooms where you have the ability to position the bath with free access all the way round, I regularly remove them from smaller bathrooms when doing re-fits, people like the aesthetics of the free standing bath and plough ahead and install them against a wall, the result is a disgusting accumulation of dust, fluff, pubic hair etc, this will happen quite quickly and you will regret having gone down this route. The concept of having the bath with no curtain is interesting though, in a bathroom around 2.1m square, most of the bathroom will be effected by splashing, the room will need a wet room floor former, and will require that the whole room is tanked prior to tiling, have a look at. (http://www.wetroominnovations.com) I usually use their Maxus formers and Purus gully traps. you can indeed get a flexible waste connection, have a look at McAlpine "Flexcon" range, these are available through any reputable merchants, these are quite substantial and would stand up to semi regular movement, if your free standing bath is an acrylic bath it won't be too heavy, so moving it would be quite straight forward, but I would suggest having small felt pads on the feet to protect the tiled surface, also from a drying point of view, Karcher have a very good little gadget for cleaning windows, which vacuums up the water, I often mention it to clients and any who have bought one have been delighted at how easy it is to use, it will leave the floor almost dry once you have used it, one note of caution would be your choice of floor tile, you will need a porcelain tile that has an R rating, this is a slip resistant rating and would be most advised. another note of caution, because the splashing will not be controlled, any vanity or wood based furniture will deteriorate.

Comments (143)Well, maybe when the kitchen stuff is out you can try different options (ones you want to try) in the wardrobe area and see what you like best. (Actually, there isn't that much stuff next to wardrobe.....up to you, though. Hmmmm. In the meantime, I think you could look for hardware for the cabinets and something for the end of the bed that isn't green....See MoreVictorian style wall taps
Comments (7)Hello, it's just the tap style I like in that pic. I'm not going for a coastal theme!! I'm looking for a period range to include wall mounted taps, freestanding bath filler and exposed valve shower. I have had a good look on eBay but it's finding a brand/range that I like that includes all those things. I will have another delve around eBay tonight. I'm also going to Aston Matthews plumbers merchants next week with my fingers crossed...!...See MoreBedroom layout and ensuite advice needed please
Comments (14)I think that this house sits well and I don't think the rear is currently unsightly but I think if you block up one of the upstairs windows at the back it will look strange as a window will clearly be missing (further compounded by having difficulty matching brick). One possibility would be to render the back to hide patched brickwork but personally I think that if you were going to spend money on that you should spend the money on a drain and soil pipe (est.: £2500) which would allow you to take the big bedroom over the lounge as the main and to have a big ensuite with WC off the main (in bed 3) plus a bathroom with WC in the original position. To keep it as a four bed I would then have a modest fourth bed at the side where the current WC is or consider splitting bed 4/5 again (or only do that a week before selling if you prefer three double bedrooms). In my opinion you should work out what is the ultimate layout for the house and do that when budget allows rather than try to do everything on a shoestring. One further thought- if you are trying to make the downstairs feel bigger, free up a little space by moving your laundry facilities upstairs....See Moresunny2000
