Can you take some pictures, both of the vanity top and the ensuite where they are going? As far as I know it is possible for stone to be cut on site (I've seen the service advertised), but make sure you can check the previous work of whoever you get to do it. As for the taps, you need to talk to your plumber - if there is no room at the back of the bowls, the two options you have are offset to the side, or set into the wall.

Vessel basins have a lot more styles and sizes to choose from which can help with providing more/less bench space depending on your preference. They also wont take up as much space in the vanity. You may need to do a little more cleaning than if you went a standard integrated style.

I’m not a professional painter but live in a old wood house with wood floors (inc bathroom), wooden windows and weatherboards so I’m comfortable with wood and water existing together. I don’t think you need your 4 steps. I would refinish the base including the legs (particularly the bottom of the legs)with a good clear wood sealer maybe something from the marine section - take advice from the paint shop as to which brand. I wouldn’t paint the top of that piece I don’t think the style lends itself to a two tone finish. I would use the wood sealer on the top as well and teamed with a white basin it will look quite smart. If you do paint the top any exterior paint would do the job, exterior paints hold up to rain and hail so should survive a bathroom. Make sure you seal well around the base of the basin. And check the finished height of your project. You don’t want it tools to use.

When it comes to designing a small bathroom, a wetroom bathroom can be a great option as it can maximise the available space and create a sleek and modern look. Here are some thoughts and tips to keep in mind: Space optimisation: Since wetroom bathrooms eliminate the need for a separate shower enclosure, you can use the available space more efficiently. You can install a walk-in shower that blends with the rest of the bathroom or create a partial wall to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. Waterproofing: It's important to make sure that your wetroom bathroom is completely waterproof to avoid any potential water damage. You'll need to install a waterproof membrane on the walls and floor and ensure that the drain is properly installed to prevent any water from seeping through. Flooring: Choose a non-slip flooring option that's suitable for wet environments. Tiles are a popular choice for wetroom bathrooms as they're durable and easy to clean. Lighting: Good lighting is essential in a small bathroom to create an illusion of space. Consider installing recessed lighting in the ceiling or above the shower area to provide adequate lighting without taking up too much space. Storage: To make the most of your small bathroom, you'll need to incorporate some storage solutions. You can install a vanity unit with drawers or shelves to store toiletries and towels, or consider adding some floating shelves or a medicine cabinet. Overall, a wetroom bathroom can be a great choice for a small bathroom as it can create a spacious and modern look while maximising the available space. Just make sure to keep in mind the waterproofing and other considerations mentioned above to ensure a functional and stylish design. You can contact renovators Sydney for expert advice
