Thanks for the compliments. Just looked at my costings and realized I allowed $3500 for plumber but ended up paying $2500. Had one quote for just over $4000 and decided to choose a new plumber. Paid by the hour and he is now "our new plumber".

Thanks Moyjos. We saw a great spray-on product demonstrated by the lady in our local tile shop that protected the glass, and were going to go this way, and a lighting shop salesman told us about a product from Supercheap for protecting the hanging LED light. I think that is the product you...

Thanks :). I am really enjoying being able to walk into a shower and not climb over the edge of a bath, and really enjoying not stepping onto the soap sometimes left on the floor of the old bath :D (great way to break a hip). One of the best things is the three levels of lighting we put in...

Finally it is all finished. After a few hiccups and delays (one caused by me forgetting to order some things in time and another due to the glass being cut a little short) we are finally using the shower. Luckily the bath is wide enough to move around easily so I've been using it for two...

Thanks JASA. I'm very happy with the bath, and these stone baths feel so nice. I'm glad we went stone and not acrylic, but it was a lot of fun getting it into the room :eek:, and so light.... NOT! This is the photo of the loo with our white glass flush panel, well worth the extra money in my...

Well, it was 7 July when we started demo and it is now 7 August. The glass shower screen was to go in today, but they realised one fixed panel was a cat's whisker shorter than ordered, so we must wait another week for a new panel to be made, installed and allow the silicone to cure... bummer...

Tiler finished tiling yesterday, and grouted and siliconed edges today. I cannot believe the difference once the black lines disappear. It is all looking rather WHITE!!! but once we get the fittings in and coloured towels it will look different again. We will paint the yellow walls white...

Heat mat made up to suit our room was installed by the sparky. We had to be careful that the temperature probe and wiring were able to be laid flat, and not left sticking up by the waterproofing. Bed went in last Thursday, and floor tiles went down Friday - Wall tiles start tomorrow...

Thanks TMNT. I'm not sure how it will look when finished... smaller than we are used to and that is my main concern... but thank you :). The floor isn't concrete, but that photo is a cement coloured thick layer of waterproofing. There is compressed AC sheet on top of the floorboards, then that...

Also thought I'd give waterproofing and tiling costs. Waterproofing $880 Plus waterproofing to three wall niches will cost $80 each x 3 Tiling floor and walls, bedding, and grouting $2980 Our underfloor heating cost $880 to have made up, including thermostat. We've bought some lighting, LED...

Photo of the room after second coat of waterproofing... For those who want to know costs, the rough in plumbing has cost us $1500, one plumber working without a break from about 9ish to 5pm and another four hours or so next day (Saturday - what a man!). Our regular plumber just never got...

Whole room will be waterproofed. The bath I bought is wider than the door (DOH!!!). We've considered removing the wall that holds the sliding door, removing the wall behind the build-in cupboard (which is now removed and a new one will go there), and taking the bath through the "hole" in the...

Hubby has framed the niches we are doing... one behind the bath to hold one of my mosaic creations, one behind the basin and under the mirror cabinet for liquid soap, tissues, whatever (like several bathrooms on The Block) and one in the shower for shampoo and conditioner etc so we don't have to...

I'd like to see the link Angel13. We have what we want this time, but it always helps to know what is out there. We plan on doing a bathroom in an IP early next year, so once this is done, I'll look at getting things for that one. I've bought some things on ebay, but for some things, we need...

Hubby has taken the room back to its bones. The waterproofing is on the floor from 12 years ago and our tiler is calling later today to see it, and tell us whether he can go straight over it, or whether we have to rip up the sheeting over the boards so he can start afresh (fingers crossed he can...

Thanks strangman. We are trying to squeeze both shower and bath into a 3m x 2m room. I've look at EVERY website and know Highgrove Bathrooms well. I have some interesting tales to tell regarding stores and pricing but must dash to work. Will update tomorrow. I can hear more demolishing as I type...

Because I love "before and after" photos and threads, I thought I'd do a "work in progress" on our new bathroom. For 15 years we've had a shower over bath which I've grown to loath, too much cleaning of the bath and too much grout. When we put in the toilet the plumber told us what sort of...
