Been in my new house just over a year now and the bathroom's have been doing my nut since we moved in; not long before moving i finished this...
and then went to this...
Also had pink lino (dont have any pics) so made a quick change to some wood effect lino which looked x1000 better
Went into bathstore to order a new En-Suite set which we did; then went back in to add a few things to the order and was a toilet on offer which i thought could go in the downstairs toilet;
but didnt fit!!! But would in the bathroom; so back in and ordered the rest!! Just before christmas it all arrived
Been collecting other bits and trying to find time to start so about three weeks ago had the walls and ceelings skimmed and then wired in new spots
Then at the weekend started gutting it! Trial fitted the new bath
Then decided may aswell put a shower in at the other end; so a bit of pipe bending and some solder joints later its running under the bath and up the wall.
Bath taps fitted
Then the new towel rail fitted
then the sink trial fitted to get the bolts
with a tile behind
and this is the tiles we chose
Being tiled this week as didnt fancy doing that myself this time as dont have the spare time

Looking good. I'm doing mine at the minute, is that the best way to finish the tile over the bath. I see some have that plastic seal angle.
Do you intend to replace the wondow? If so, keep a box of tiles spare.

I have the same(ish) tiles but added a wide chrome strip between the 2 colours
Was the holes for the bath taps pre-drilled? If not i would have put them in the long side middle or corner to make it double ended
Nice shape suite tho!

Re the window; have ordered new windows for the whole house last week so will fit this one in a few weeks; they are going to leave a rung of tiles off short of the window and come back once i have fitted the new one  The wooden once we have at the moment are crap!
I had more a chrome trim theme in my last bathroom; decided on a change and gone white this time; we did consider a split tho but decided not to in the end.
I was going to put the taps in the middle but as we added a shower i thought it would cause problems when stood in the bath having a shower; as would keep hitting your legs! Also have a young daughter who loves the bath and thought they would be rite where her head is when she is sat in there.
Was up until 10pm lastnight building the bath panel; ready for them to tile today. Has aquaboard plasterboard on aswell now but didnt get a pic

Nice mate, just fitted the same bath but put the bath spout and shower in the middle of bath on a 3 handle mixer, it's a combined spout/bath overflow so no taps to bang against. I'll get a picture up

that looks class, especially with the tiled bath panel.
how comes you're not tiling the entire room?

Looks great, I think you may come to regret not having the taps/spout fitted in the middle of the wall though especially with a shower on the same wall as you'll be sitting, nothing worse than the shower dripping on you whilst you're in the bath

I reckon its near £3K; not really been keeping track as been buying this over the past few months.
Was thinking of tiling the whole room; but decided i wanted a bit of a change; also saves a few £'s

was a new one; have a new thing to go the end and will chop it when i fit that; still quite a bit to do:
- New skirting board
- Plane and re-fit door
- toilet roll holder
- Sink & toilet
- Shower mixer bar
- Fit show head rail
- Paint radiator pipes
- Give a good clean!!
And then when the new window is in the tiler is coming back to finish off the window area and close off the access area on bath panel (decided not to seal it yet as a couple of weeks of use will allow me to check for any leaks!!)

Looks really nice that mate, im about to start my bathroom and it looks similar in size to yours.
Can you please post your room dimensions? Im struggling to find a bath to fit in the space i have, i notice you had to cut yours into the wall a little to make it fit.
Also, are you only having a small piece of the bath panel removable?
