Slate grey finished Jacuzzi shower bathroom suite fully fitted
This is a standard size bathroom in a normal family home in Coventry. You could say it is any bathroom in any home. The finish looks stunning achieved by using matching slate effect wall tiles with non slip floor tiles and a matching feature bath wall granite tile. All in dark grey set against a studding white Jacuzzi bathroom suite and finished with high shine taps and wall radiator.
The work began by removing the original bathroom suite and painlessly chipping away the previous wall tiles (a job we really love 🙂 ) and then tunneling out a cavity within the walls to hold the water pipes.
The next step is to fit the bath. Yes the bath must be put in place before the tiles are fitted. This is not to save on wall tiles (not fitting then below or at the sides of the bath) as questioned by many previous customers. This step is critical in securing a water tight bath. This is achieved by fitting the bath to the wall, then first silicon seal of the bath against the brick. After that the walls are then boarded creating a lip over the bath. When the tiles are fitted the bath edge against the wall is silicon sealed for a second time creating a double seal. This is what guarantees a bath not to leak even if the bath is used as a shower bath as in this case.
So the bath is in place, now we board all of the walls to give a perfectly flat surface which ensures an ideal tiling surface.
All of the hard work is now complete, leaving the fitting of the bathroom and bringing it all together. Wall and floor tiles are fitted.
The radiator is fitted off the floor, this was possible as we had previously cut channels in the wall and placed the central heating feed and return pipes within the wall behind the wall tiles.
Finally the toilet, sink and toilet spray can be fitted. After the removal of tools and waste a final clean completes the work and the bathroom is handed back to the customer.

High Ceilings Fit a Double Border
High Ceilings Fit a Double Border
Most bathrooms in the Coventry area are the same width length and height. This is one of the reasons why we are able to give you an accurate quote without stepping into your house. Another reason is that all bathrooms may be different by really they are the same with different fittings finishes.
In most cases the height of the bathroom will be 2.3 meters, and if this is the case I would not recommend having a double border in the bathroom. This is for bathrooms that are higher than the standard bathroom.
This is a great effect and can be achieved at a low cost, just remember that in most cases this solution is not ideal.
Mosaic Tiles as complete wall tiles
Mosaic Tiles as complete wall tiles.
Mosaic tiles are normally more expensive than standard wall tiles. Though when the are fitted as wall tiles they give a real modern look.
It is important to note that each individual tile is small, this means that a wall needs to be flat for a good finish. The small mosaic tiles will show any imperfections on the walls. It we were to finish a wall with Mosaic tiles as complete wall tiles, we would board the walls first which would help to guarantee a perfect finish.
Changed Bathroom to Shower room
Originally the house had a traditional bathroom, however the customer required that the bathroom be removed and the room turned into a shower room including toilet and sink.
The previous tiles where old and dated and the window had a large white pvc trim. As you can from the before and after photos, the refitting of this bathroom was dramatic.
The shower cubical is a 900mm * 900 mm quadrant shower cubicle with double glass doors finished with chrome handles and chrome bar shower..
The shower room was then fully tiled from floor to ceiling.
The job was completed in 5 days.
