9 years agolast modified: 9 years agoI'm in the same boat sunnie, I'd love luxury but it'd be madness on this spec price of flat.
M, its a normal size tub and has an extra foot of dead space at one end and could come out another 6 inches, I forgot to measure when I left for the week.
I guess the only reason I dont like shower trays is because the plastic ones feel very flimsy, I love the solidity of tile under foot, we're ground floor extension so we can play with the floor a bit.
Are there any inexpensive tricks , maybe even a side grill floor gutter?

Comments (50)We do have a Steptoe's up here not far from us but it's (dare I say it) wretched! Dark, not clean, badly organised. The one near you, though, AMAZING! We go down every year and take two big cars (we have a Picasso and our friends who live in Devon have a Forester), lol, fill them to the brim every year:) Last year we ended up shipping a lot of it back to Scotland as otherwise we wouldn't have got us, the luggage, and the Roo in to go home!...See MoreCould this ugly house ever be a dream home?
Comments (47)I love a challenge, I would extend the garage to the full width of the property. Re-position the front door to the center with a window and a contemporary wide door as shown. Next I would remove all the hanging tiles and render as picture. For a full contemporary look change the windows to a dark grey profile. This will create internally a larger entrance, giving the owner more internal space, keep it open plan! I cannot see any images of the existing interior to advise a room layout. The back of the property looks rendered....I love the balcony, which I am hoping is off a living room??? Again if within budget replace the existing windows with dark grey profile, put dark grey bi folds where the sliding doors are at present, extend the patio by 1.5 meters, to allow for external seating area......keep it minimal. Spray the existing railings dark grey. A couple of strategically placed large pots with topiary trees.........Your Done!...See MoreHelp to change the front of my ugly 80's (infill) house?
Comments (31)Hi Malley. Thank you for asking my advice! For what it's worth here goes; I agree with you that no extension of the front window is needed, the oak framed porch with A frame exposed, extending further out as per celery girls input with wisteria and box plants looks great. Regarding colour, I'm afraid I disagree about the brown windows, to me they scream 80's developer taste and are very dating and clash with the red. If you are going to go to the expense of replacing the windows to enlarge the apertures I would consider grey or grey/green grey/blue, these will all tone nicely with the red brick, white would be too harsh. Love the idea of the juliette window BTW. Do a search in Houzz for red bricks and grey windows, you will get a lot of images to think about. I'm not sure I agree that adding solar panels to the roof will be an improvement, yes they will break up those tiles, but they are not a thing of beauty are they, could they be on the rear instead? If budget did allow, after you have done your extension, windows etc I would look into the cost of replacing those roof tiles with slate as again I think they are dating, but agree with Daisy that it would probably be expensive and would not increase value on the house. Best of luck!...See MoreA modern hint for this Edwardian farmhouse
Comments (4)I think you are a fine advocate for UPVC. Looking good. Does 'Elite' also mean 'expensive'? Still cheaper than the hardwood equivalent?...See Morejessegee

9 years agoI have 3 wetrooms, one is on the ground floor, solid concrete on sand, no crawl space. Just normal (no shiny glaze) tiles that I have on half of the ground floor. I have some pics on my computer of the ground floor one. The two wetrooms upstairs are on a wooden floor, but there's a layer of I think they're called Lewis sheets and then concrete and then mosaic tiles. The ground floor wetroom has a grill floor gutter in the shower.

9 years agoHi JesseDont know what your budget is or how you plan to do it (glass panelling or a tiled surround) but another idea I have seen in these instances is to use a large teak shower base in your desired location that allows the water to drain through and underneath it... . The teak can be replaced over time but at least you don't have to worry about an existing drain and moving it and your step up can be customized. However, you do need to be sure your basement area for the shower is fully waterproofed one way or another.This either takes the form of Wedi which you can customize and tile, paint on, or a shower base.

9 years agoIs this where I say iirc my fitter said he got our tray at Wickes on clearance for under £200? It will fit in the old tub space perfectly - lol, pays to be be replacing a 1963 cast iron tub (rather narrow, and not too long).
The plan was if we couldn't find a tray to fit exactly, we'd go with one that would leave enough room at the end to put a towel tower in (not my bathroom, I am not posting anything until the last speck of plaster has been hoovered!):
