Bit the bullet and finally got around to starting the process of getting our bathrooms rennovated. We have started with the ensuite bathroom and it began on the 8th May. So far all has gone to plan and hopefully will be finished next week.
Here is the before shot- our bathrooms are around 30 years old, so if this one lasts 30 years shouldn't be our problem to replace it!
The first day was a long, noisy day where they removed the old stuff, jack hammered up the tiles and took off the plaster board. Lots of dust around the place!
Then it was putting in the structure for the new bathroom, including a niche for the shower, sheeting went in.
A bit of plastering over the joins and then it was time for Brad the Tiler to come in and do the wet seal. This was the smelly part!
Then the tiles started to go in, first the grey tiles for the floor
Then the white wavy tiles for the walls
Then the grouting and the cornices
Then it was time for Brendan the Painter to come in. I will have to ask Ben the Plumber and Bathroom guy if he only uses people with names beginning with B!
It is not far off now, it has gone very smoothly, the workers have turned up when they said they would, can't fault it so far. Couple of full on days at the beginning but have had days where they have only been in for an hour or two then left us in peace while things dry.
