Bathroom glory - how to look after stone bathroom tiles

Comments (16)Hi Liz, I understand your concern about waterproofing. I guess it depends on who does it. I'm extremely thorough. The last time I waterproofed I read every piece of technical information from the suppliers. When I went to order the materials, I asked for things that even the suppliers did not know was in the recommended procedure. I'd warrant my own detailed waterproofing over some tradie in a rush to get to the next job. Not saying they are all like that, but I value and trust my own approach as well. In terms of a certificate, a workaround for a through DIY job is to take detailed photos on installation, similar to what a Building Certifier would be looking for on inspection (not that we can rely on Building Certifiers nowadays either)!!!! My point is that a certificate does not necessarily guarantee a thorough job. Just ask the apartment owners at Mascot..... PS Liz good point on the visibility of a clear 50mm threshold, versus a barely visible one where the toe can scuff......See MoreNeed advice on budget bathroom makeover
Comments (9)It's up to you with what you decide to do as a stop gap, I just thought it might be worth while trying paint on the walls first to see how it feels and save the cost of painting the bath and tiles and putting that towards a complete redo We have beige fittings in our ensuite and having cracked the WC we had to replace it with a new White suite from Bunnings, it's a lovely modern suite that covers and fits all the existing plumbing I think it cost $150 which husband fitted. I think that you already have a newish white vanity which will work with your new suite. Black beige and white are great mates and perhaps add something timber via a blind above the bath, can't see what your window is like, cheers...See MoreSmall bathroom design - help needed! Thoughts on wetroom bathrooms?
Comments (6)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...See More
