We recently made over a bathroom with dated features & a claw foot bath. See before & after pics. The bath was almond beige with brass feet. Painted it Dulux Ticking on the outside & used Rustoleum Tub & Tile on the inside. Bit of a process but we're very happy with the result. We were able to take the bath out of the room to paint so this made it easier. Left it to "cure" for quite a while before reinstalling & using. Sprayed the feet with chrome paint. The cabinet in after pic is the same cab as before, but with laminate benchtop removed & new wooden top & sides, benchtop basin, new tap. Treated the benchtop with 5 coats of marine grade polyurethane & painted the cabinet drawer fronts & doors with same paint as the bath (oil based). Floor retiled (over existing tile), double hung window removed and replaced with a fixed frame & frosted glass. Most expensive part was the new glass shower screen. My advice is to take the time to do correct prep & leave surfaces to harden thoroughly before using. With the bath I never run the hot tap first into the bath ie. warm water first then hot & only clean with detergent & a soft cloth, don't use any abrasive or harsh cleaners.

I have a shower over bath combo' which its plastic resin something? It's a old bungalow and pitifully small. The amount of times I have nearly slipped over getting out, or lost my balance with soap in my eyes/ or after having a glass of wine. hate hate it. I did see a shower room with a additional hand held device and a over head shower. I thought that good for the odd squirt your feet down. The next owners will probably rip it all out and start again any way when design ideas change.

Hello qlder, do you have any more detailed plan? Are there walls around living? Where is the entry and is that a deck on top left? Not enough labels and walls to get a good look. High or low set? Do you have photos and where is north?

Hi Louise, We have kinda rearranged certain room openings, and all rooms has been gutted and now being erected with new walls. Thats the top level layout plan i have sent. The lower level has 2 more bedroom and laundry, bathroom (sidebyside) and a garage which was opening to media room (common lounge area) and I have thus converted this garage to a 5th bedroom. Not so much of floor space we have, so hence the only option was (as per amatuer thinking) to rearrange the walls, create empty unused space with storage area and so on and so forth.
