Hi Suneiah I had new doors, side panels and shelves made for the existing vanities. Fortunately the new doors and panels have not subsequently been affected by moisture. I also changed the tapware to something a little sleeker and ergonomically better, and painted the rooms. However, I left the vanities in place because I really wasn't up to the task of pulling out the bathrooms at the time (for many reasons: mainly the mess and also all of the strata processes I would have needed to attend to. Suneiah - I wish you all the best for whatever changes you decide to make to your bathroom(s).

based on available dimensions i suggest that side by side semi recessed basins in twin shallow vanities will be more comfortable than squeezing through the tiny space leftover with vanities on opposite walls, my curve may not be precise but i suggest that a 1200 x 900 fibreglass shower stall with sliding glass doors would solve the problem of waterproofing and allow for a shower door that would not need to crash into the vanities and the small section of glass bricks visible would not be affected by direct water spray,,, the wall next to the window should be sufficient for a mirror doored wall cabinet and the wall around the bath and next to the door will allow space for towel rails and the laundry basket and installing the (standard 820 wide) cavity sliding door to open towards the bath will be less work as it will use the existing doorway ...if you decide to use the void behind part of the glass brick wall painting the glass white? from the bathroom side could make the view from the stairs more attractive

how old is the house as you may need to check for asbestos on walls and floor and is teh whole house a slab on ground if not the floor under the tiles may not be concrete..., when replacing floor tiles i would also replace skirts to ensure waterproofing is above the floor all around (and avoid a potential leak at the join) and depending on what you are planning to do (ëg install new shower stall or wet floor?) i would also consult your tiler about "levelling the floor" which is much more complicated than we think.. and take your time removing the old tiles, especially on the walls as it's better to do as little damage (to the structure and yourself) as possible and you will find many online DIY instructions for retiling that are worth reading before you start...good luck with your project

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
