Great work Tracy. As a first time DIY(er) you have inspired me to tackle my early 80's ensuite! I REALLY want to paint my daggy tiles but I've had so many people advise me against it saying that they will scratch and wear far too quickly... Have you found this to be true with yours??

Wilson Art also have a range of matte anti-fingerprint laminates. I just discovered them through my cabinetmaker. Not sure of price but I believe these laminates (and those of Laminex Industries) are in their 'premium' range. I, too, am curious to know how cost compares to other laminates and even 2 pac

Yes you can definitely do this MrsRicho. We have recently completed our new build and here is a pic of our ensuite. We initially had an issue with the mirrors crunching against each other when opening and we had to get 1mm shaved off each of the sides of the mirrors. Now they open beautifully with no touching at all. Please also be mindful at the point of installation that the mirrors are installed flat into the doors, that is, they don’t protrude as a result of double sided tape! Our installer used double sided tape and silicone (the tape to hold the mirror in place while the door was hang back up and the silicone dried. The effect was looking at the mirror side on there were gaps where there was no tape and you could see the tape. We had the mirror installers return and remove the mirrors, shave the 1mm off. Our joiner then completed the job by siliconing the mirrors whilst the doors were flat on the floor and left them to dry for 48 hours before hanging the doors.

Thanks Margot. I think I've more or less got it sorted. The only challenge remaining, I think, is finding a way to give it a visual lift. It currently has floor to ceiling tiles in a standard size, square, and a very uninteresting colour with no texture - but in very good order. Very dull! I hate grout in showers so I'm thinking maybe some Mr Wetwall panelling or something similar over the tiles in the shower and on the new wall formed by moving the linen cpd, plus on a part wall along the long side of the shower to replace the glass screens that I insist must go (I'm a lazy cleaner and I hate cleaning glass!) Hopefully that would be enough to relieve the dullness of the existing tiles. Then some feature shelving over the new bath tub perhaps. Not yet decided whether to install a freestanding back-to-wall bath or a drop-in, but the latter might provide scope for some more feature tiling or panelling around it. I want to open the room directly to the outdoors but the current window opening is only 1200mm wide and the wall is 8 inches of solid concrete - not easy to cut to enlarge the opening - so I'm looking at either a hinged door with window inset into it or a standard size glass swing door with a narrow window beside for ventilation. My other challenge is doors for the relocated linen cpd, as the existing mirror doors have got to go! I loathe them. As the cpd will be visible from the living area, it needs stylish doors.
