I have installed pebble tiles in several showersPros - very elegant, gives a sense of space as pebbles are different so no long defining linesCons - difficult to clean, must determine at outset if you want the stones deep in grout (you see lots more grout but the surface is smoother) or not so deep (you see less grout, but the surface is bumpier).Some people recommend epoxy grout, I don't for the simple reason it is much harder to get the grouting even with pebbles than tiles so more time needs to be taken.

Tile selection can have a big impact on the cost of your bathroom reno. The cost of the tiles per sqm is one thing, but did you know that most tilers charge different rates for the "Type" of tile laid large format and or vitrified tiles will cost more to install These are a few hard and fast rules we give our clients when they are selecting tiles for a bathroom renovation 1 - opt for darker tiles and darker grout for the floor - as a wet area light coloured tiles on the ground are harder to keep clean 2 - If you are opting for a feature tile - let it be the hero. That means make the rest of the tiles plain - large format subway tiles give you enough texture without detracting from the feature 3 - always opt for square tiles on the ground - trying to get the correct falls using rectangular tiles will mean you will have extra cuts and the floor will look a mess. The second reason we opt for square format for the floor is because of subway tiles You see, back when everyone was opting for square tiles on walls, it was easy to install square on the floor and get all the grout lines to match. Now most people are opting for subway tiles, you can never get all the grout lines to match, therefore installing square means you dont have to match grout lines as they are different format. If you are installing your subway tiles vertically, then there is a chance you will still be able to get all grout lines to match if you have selected the same sized square format tile hope this makes sense I have added a link to a blog that explains more about tile selection

Amazing, can't believe it is the same space!! looks much more roomier. Well done!

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
