[scotmk]

Thought I would create an album to show progress of new ensuite.

Not sure how to link it from here though.......

Looks very tidy, how are you going to deal with the gap to the ceiling?

Window not centralised........looks odd.

Thanks, it took a day just to set out, I had the shower tray , shower seat, bath lip, 2 windows (which I had to end up cutting out the top to make it work). To get over. The gap at the top was the best I could get after all options were weighed out. it was bigger, so I ended up putting another sheet of backer board on the top facing bath/seat area to raise it another 5mm.

I will grout all the top, mask it then run some white paint (same as ceiling) to make it fall into the ceiling and make it vanish that way, worked ok in my last bathroom

Yes, I know, I did.not want 2 cuts on this wall left and right, and it matches the opposite wall. Had to compromise some places.

You could also consider some cornice/coving.

 

[scotmk]

I don't like coving or similar in a fully tiled wall, looks odd, when I did my main bathroom which already had coving I wished I had removed it first, still bugs me.

 

[scotmk]

Had a good week, last wall nearly 1/2 done, just got bath surround, window reveals and alcove to tile. Then starts the grouting.

 

[scotmk]

I have put a few more update pics in my album. Finished grouting and had several wipes.

Now just having a look at at fitting the cabinets.

 

[scotmk]

All my base cabinets have been fitted today and I have inserted my digital control for the bath and basin, looking great.

Looks good!

Looking good @scotmk , thank you for sharing your project

 

[scotmk]

More cabinet installing today. Tomorrow going to work out the touch tile control and install that behind the tile.

Wow, that's gonna look really high-end, well done. Take your time on the finishes now, don't forget how much time you spend sat on the toilet / in the bath looking around!

Thanks @p4ulo, yes not rushing. Took 3 weeks to tile lol. Looks amazing, very pleased with myself and wife happy with it too.
