My own bathroom.

Here's the results after a couple of weeks graft. 
Big thanks to Stretch, who gave his time to make it what it is. 
Probably one of the only bathrooms that we enjoyed doing! 
Mrs CL is a happy bunny.

I'll have to dig out a few before shots, as it was pants. 


All travertine tiles, led shower head that changes colour with the temperature. Marble sink sat on granite. Few modified units underneath that's 'floating'. Led mirror with Bluetooth speaker. New double glazed window.

  Looks good Paul!

I've always liked Travertine tiles, are yours natural ones or are they Honed & Filled...?

I assume they're sealed, what did you use to seal them?

[Claydon Lad]

Cheers Tim, - yep they're honed and filled. Quite happy with them really. I've had some in the past that were really delicate, but these were OK. Just sealed them with topps own 'unpolished protector' which worked well. I did manage to give them all a coat of sealant before I put them up, which saved quite a bit of time.

It can save a lot of time to seal them before fixing them up.

I better not show the Mrs your pictures coz I've been promising to do our Bathroom for about 2 years now. I've already got most of the Clints in stock, including the Grey Travertine type tiles for the wall & floor. Just haven't been able to find the time.....!!!!

Good work CL & Stretch! Great to see before and afters! I haven't even found time to oil a squeaky door handle I mean to...so well done!

Nice work chaps, you should start doing this professionally 

I did my last bathroom in my last house with a similar shower tray set up, around 1500 long from memory with open end, and I found the water constantly splashing out the back so we fitted a curtain on the glass strap and it actually looked quite good and worked very well ..... Do you not find you have the same problem Paul?

I have just bought all the gear to redo our current bathroom, should be starting at end of August hopefully, I will start my own thread on that as well.

Nice job lads,  now i can see its a floor mat.  The FB pic's are downscaled, the mat looked like a shadow.  Did Kim keep the old bath and toilet mat's?.
You get a good light off that illuminated mirror.

[Claydon Lad]

That was my only concern Daniel. With the shower feed being pumped, I was just hoping it wouldn't just end up spraying out everywhere. Maybe because the shower head is pointing directly down certainly helps, because it doesn't reach the end of the tray. 

I can't believe what a difference it makes not having a door on the enclosure. Infact we are so happy with it, we're going to put the same set up to replace the shower in our main bedroom, which is directly behind the bathroom wall. 

Everything is new Prem. There was nothing worth saving from before. As it was Kim was buying the towels, mats, pictures etc when all the walls were still stripped bare.

That mirror works so well. We didn't tell the kids it had the Bluetooth speaker in it. When my son used the shower for the first time - we waited till we heard the water running. Then connected up to the mirror from downstairs and played 'happy' by Pharrell Williams - as he was so looking forward to useing it. Classic.
