    Hi Tucker,

    Have you got any photos that you can upload or draw a diagram of your bathroomn. Would love to fit a separate shower in our very small bathroom. Going to renovate within a year.

    Many thanks,
    C

    Hi guys, I'm a guy ;)

    The picture is handpainted and from Dunelm Mill for twenty quid of all places!

    Eager, I'll check the receipt if you want however at a quick glance those tiles ate 600x600 and mine are rectangle. Let me know if you want but yes, they were from N and C or Nicobond or whatever it's called.

    HTH guys :)

    I love your bathroom too I wanted a cabinet and bin like you have but sadly cabinet will be too high with the shelve below it when I want one fitted so we can use the mirror

    I was planning on getting toilet holder and other accessories like you got seen them in B&Q and M&S

    This is very useful, as I'm juts planning my bathroom refit.

    I've got very rough stripped walls, bare floorboards, sink, toilet, a nice big old metal bath, shower tray and shower and a load of tiles.

    What order should I do things? Do I make the walls good 1st, fit the stuff and then tile the walls, then tile and board the floor?

    Should the toilet and basin go on top of the tiles or not? if it should, how do I go about that? tile most of the floor, get the plumber in to remove the toilet and then quickly tile the remaining floor, before he puts the new stuff in?

    Any help would be great.

    How do I go about making a walk in shower? I thought I could do it with tiled partition walls, instead of glass. Any advice?
