Pictures: Porcelanosa Bath Refurb

[macten]

Most of my refurbs seem to involve beige porcs 30x30 on the half bond. This little bathroom I'm doing involves 4 different types of porcelanosa tiles and they are lovely.

Usual rip out and first fix. All the walls needed boarding as they were a state after the old tiles came off. New chip board floor, extra noggins and overlayed with NMP.

Bathwall is the feature wall with gorgeous 90x30 ceramics, black with a metallic-like weave thing going on with them:

They're 1.6 mm narrower so the hassle of cutting the first row of grey went out the window as the top row would be well out.

Here are the final pics.

Popped round today as they wanted some shelving and a cubby hole built for toilet rolls and tiled using the off cuts. Not ideal as I didn't really have enough left over - hence the odd design.

looks good to me mac

[david campbell]

looks ace mate

thats the first time i've seen the thread and was also thinking why the tiles didn't tie in, 1.6mm probably made that so much more akward for yourself.

looks the business anyway
