I like Bathstore stuff, some of their modern stuff is quite nice - from the wash range.

I'd love to show you but I am currently rebuilding my bathroom and refitting everything - but next 2 weeks.

Hi Jake, yes, been in a couple of times, I am going to have to move some walls to get a bath and shower in as I don't want an all in one.

Some nice stuff in that bathstore place.

Bathstore are the DFS of bahroom stuff.... they constantly have a sale on.

So far I've spent
Ł70 for Basin Ł100 for bath (panels should be another Ł150) and Ł200 for a toilet- from Bathstore
Tiles were Ł250 (floor and wall) plus about Ł50 on adhesive from Wickes/Tile Choice
Plumbing materials were about Ł250 plus a bit of MJ Tiff Plumbing time to move the external soil stack and pipe up new wastes.
Taps were ridculous but I got them in a sale from B&Q Ł230 delivered (should have been Ł600+
Ł50 on lighting.
Ł50 on a nice bristain shower reduced on their ebay page.
Ł60 quid on a massive towel rail.
Ł250 for the tiler when he does it.
Then theres prob a load of fixtures and fittings and a shower screen I still need to buy.

My Bathroom was too small so I knocked a wall down and moved it 400mm and then moved the door out onto the landing which added 25% extra space.

With all the work and materials to do the wall as well its prob going to be in the region of Ł2200 to Ł2400 but thats better than having a poxy small bathroom, I think the floor area is just under 6sqm now.

Thereyou go, the wall on the left is the wall I moved - I just started to offer the sink up to the wall today.

The ceiling is being plastered next week and then I can finish the plumbing and final fix before the tiler does his thing and I get the central heating on

finished mine a while ago, but took me about a year

white goods are bathstore and i'm very pleased with them. fittings are crosswater and seem quite good quality.










top tap does fixed shower to the left, bath filling (via a combined filler/overflow on the side of the bath so that both ends are free of tap spouts) to the right. middle is thermostatically controlled temperature and bottom one is handheld shower



recessed into the stud wall for toletries as i hate them cluttering up the side of the bath or having a shelf that gets all limescaled up



soft close dunny lid in action. love it.



2 lighting circuits in the ceiling that are independently dimmable. stereo speaker in the middle connected to a squeezebox.



flush fitting battery powered remote control light switches/dimmers as i hate pull switches and switches outside the room



controller for tile warming



wish i had a wide angle lens

Found bathstore great for accessories, altho everything is double chrome plated brass it only has a 12 month guarantee.

The taps are shit in there tho, feel cheap and nasty unlike the other accesories, my taps/shower mixer are guaranteed for 10 years, Tres Mercati. The Shower tray is a stone/resin one from Bristan and the white goods are Vitra

Not flash but good quality kit






Matching toilet downstairs





Bathroom before

I have posted these before now. It's all our own handiwork, no professional tradesmen were used for any of it. The fixtures/fittings/sanitaryware weren't cheap, but the net result is fantastic. The Bathroom is 4 metres long 1.8 metres wide.

The Shower is 1200x900mm, the Bath is 1900x800mm.











We soon altered the bath, which is no longer tiled on the horizontal surface, now it has a piece of custom-cut glass. Here it is in progress, I don't have a finished pic at the moment.....

some really nice ones peeps, Morcheen - I can dream exactly what i had in mind but not as much room as yourself.

ForiegnRS, liking that full tiled look mate.

Chris and Beccy, I like that shower set up, does it go below the floor?

It's a Steel tray that has a subframe that goes below the floor. Takes away the need for a proper tanked floor that you have with a wetroom. Wasn't cheap though.
