Here it is, Sams' bathroom. which means I'll have to get on and put in a new one. Her bath suddenly developed little cracks in the base. Even with the temporary repair it was clear that I needed to get on and replace it.
Went off to buy tiles yesterday, Sam came too, it's her bathroom..
The white, ripple, tiles came from B&Q, the pretty ones, from Tile Trader in Stonehouse. I like it at tile trader because of all the stuff going on around the edges ... Morris Minor repairs, old farm kit and chickens.
Sams choice of decorative tiles is a run of pretty, iridescent, slumped, glass, mosaic tiles. My plan to tile from the bath upwards on top of the original tiles, incorporating a waterproofing system as I went, has gone Pete Tong. Screwfix didn't put any legs in with the new bath. It's OK though, they'll be her in about 10 days!!!! JOKERS! Today, after threats along the lines of TRADING STANDARDS and BLOG moans, they found some in a dusty corner. Shame they couldn't make the effort in the first place.
It's important to clean of the tile cement with a damp cloth, as you work as it sets very fast. This way the grout goes on more smoothly and quickly.
I'll be back on Friday get most of the rest of the tiles on. In the evening MeWally will join me and we'll fit the flooring and the ceramics together.
What Fun : )
