Bathroom Flooring (Old wet room)

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has any advice on if this is possible, how much it would cost or if even possible.

Me and my partner just moved home and the bathroom was converted from a wet room to a standard bathroom aside from the flooring. The previous tenant had attempted to lay vinyl flooring, but it's outdated and it curves as it goes to the wall instead of being flat. I understand that's the nature of a wet room floor, but the job that was done does not look good. I wanted to know if there's a way to make it look seamless via DIY and what kind of approach would you take or is there a way the floor can be changed and what kind of cost that would roughly involve? It is a council so we may be restricted in options. Just wanted to ask because she would love a flawless bathroom to relax in after a hard day, nice bubble bath and all zen.

Any help would be great. Thanks

I'll try to post one soon. Just hope it's an easy fix or easy to make look nice

Hi Rye.

As you say, the curved perimeter is a part of the sealed wet room floor design, and I see no easy way around that. Any new covering would need to follow these contours, so would presumably require gluing down, and careful mitring in the corners - silly to do this.

Two possible ideas, but the first would need investigating to ensure it is compatible; have the floor repainted using a specialist paint such as epoxy, and this could have a stencilled pattern applied too. Ie, you could theoretically make it look like any vinyl or tiled floor. And the other is to add a nice floor rug, in a material that's happy in a bathroom.
