    Most definitely agree! Bathroom is looking fab!

    Quick question...if I've interpreted your piccies correct, you hacked old plaster back to brickwork and then put up a new stud frame with batten over which you fixed hard backer board anf then finally tile.

    How's it worked when hanging basin and pan etc?

    Did you put studs in place in advance in the correct places?

    The Gerberit frame is attached to the wall and to the floor and the pan hangs of that as there was no other option as the wall is too thin to hack in to, done love old houses and thin walls ;o))

    Check out the other rails they have as their prices are very reasonable especially if you want a "designer" rail.

    The floor tiles are Travertine didn't really know much about them as they seemed "delicate" but then found out that the Coliseum in Rome is built from the same stuff, cool ;o)))

    I just looked at the "before" photos and am myself shocked at the total renovation, all you need is an idea and an open mind ;o))
