Calling Bathroom Experts ! ..bathroom saga.
Comments (17)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!!...See MoreBathroom floors - porcelain floor tiles or vinyl floor tiles?
Comments (18)Porcelain is a tough tile which will not crack or break easily. they are very long lasting. vinyl is out dated and just doesn't look good. Your other option should be ceramic tiles. So it should be between ceramic and porcelain. I'd still recommend porcelain but ceramic is cheaper, that's the biggest advantage of ceramic. I bought these porcelain tiles two weeks ago, they look lovely. beautiful hexagon porcelain tiles...See MoreNeed bathroom inspirations for compact bathroom
Comments (10)Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work...See MoreHelp! Is this a bad tiling job and bathroom refurb?
Comments (23)Hello, just to update - I met with the bathroom fitter this morning after a brief telephone call last night - he was already loading his van when I arrived so he knew the job was ending before completion. He agreed that the tiling was not up to scratch and stated that the guy he got in to do it was having family problems / is not a very good tiler and said he had paid him for 4 days work and had done 4 days work himself. I said i would not have paid the tiler / this is not my concerns but it was a very difficult conversation ending in me paying too much I think. I ended up paying him £590 in total - this included paying for things he has bought for the job (which i still need to rebuy for the next person), one full day for the two of them for removing the old bathroom and part fitting the new one, another full day just for the bathroom fitter . In hindsight this was too much but I also just wanted him to leave and he was asking for 4 full days for him and 4 for the tiler. It was not an easy transaction for either of us I am sure. We parted amicably and he has emailed to apologise for the job and thank for the payment. Lessons learnt - order of works before a job starts, more oversight during a job, more research before hiring and standing my ground if things are not done properly. Thank you again for the very helpful advice and information....See Moreadam_waller14
