Love those tile choices!

Loving the marble, such a transformation!

wooowww what a pleasant transformation!

Gorgeous reno, very impressive. Great job

Like that the tiling didn’t go full height as it can sometimes seem cold

I like them too. Thank you

Lovely, such an improvement. I don't see any towel rails, only the folded towels on the vanity which is presumably for the pics not how the client with young kids uses the space? Did you encounter any asbestos during the reno? The niche above the bath is in an external wall so did you have to remove insulation to allow for the depth and did you substitute anything?

Thank you for your comment and an excellent question. Yes those towels were for photo only. There is a towel rail opposite the toilet on the newly built wall where there was a door originally. That is an excellent spot between bath and shower as well. Unfortunately I do not have a photo of that. Luckily we did not have any asbestos. Yes we got a readymade niche with backing and aligned it between studs to fit so that was not too hard. Hoping that helps.

Thanks.

Was an asbestos appraisal done or was it a small job that didn't necessitate that level of investigation?

My reason for asking about the niche was that the importance of insulation is understood these days so creating situations where there are gaps is considered undesirable. Depending on climate of course, and I suppose it's no worse than if there's no double glazing in the window above. Although thinking of that I wonder, I've always found bathroom windows to get condensation, so would a poorly insulated niche also be prone to condensation? By backing do you mean there was space behind for some other type of backing instead of the typical bulky batts? I suppose using a ready-made niche is more reliable in regards to waterproofing? The niche is neat and good looking solution, but over the years I had read about these various drawbacks with niches.

Thank you once again for getting back.

Yes, the builder made necessary checks and investigations before he proceeded to take up the job as it was not only the bathroom, the kitchen, laundry and wardrobes in all bedrooms, flooring the entire home was renovated. He was well aware of what needed to be done.

Yes ofcourse water proofing is very important and ventilation needs to be considered. The bathroom does have an exhaust fan along with the large window. As the entire area was demolished we made sure to check all the structural elements below and around to make sure none of them had been damaged or deteriorated. Usually that is what happens the elements below the floor may be damaged and you need to change or replace them before you proceed. There is no cutting corners for these modifications and they can be unforeseen unless you pull them all out. Usually I tell this to my clients before we proceed and keep an amount saved for such situations. These issues can be far more serious and not solved by just replacing tiles or fittings.

Also new water proofing was done to the entire area. So all that part was taken care of and the builder did an amazing job at it.

Yes by backing I meant it had the water proofing. Also we covered the niche with tiles so that is additional protection. I love niches and try to provide them whenever its possible. They really come in handy. Guess everyone has their own choice. Most of the issues happens if the work is not done to standards.

Thanks

Can I ask how much it cost to do all this?

Wow! How beautiful! Changing out the door was a great idea. Loving the light in there, and the colour of the cabinetry. Great job!

Thank you, Yes small tweaks can make a lot of difference within a given space.
