    very nice mate. Are you a tiler/tiled before? or is this your first time? I would be proud if either!

    where did you get the sink and the unit from out of curiosity?

    vanity + basin is my favourite part of the bathroom - solid oak throughout - wenge stained - £429 from click basin dot co dot uk. Includes tap and waste, although tap and waste not same high quality as cabinet. They offer a round basin too, but you see I was going for a "square" theme.

    WC is RAK 600 (60cm projection as I was short on clearance in front of toilet) about £120 from ebay

    Bath: Kaldewei basic 2.3mm £70 from Ives Plumbing (ebay)

    Panels: not solid oak unfortunately, just veneer. About £60 for both side and end from plumbworld I think

    Shower screen: cheapo chinese one £40 off ebay, hard to install

    Never tiled before, although I did have help from my brother in law who does plumbing and has tiled before.

    Also, the pics don't show the screw ups, like un-level floor tiles, putting the aquapanel on backwards and uneven wall grout lines. Long as it's water tight and lasts at least until I sell this place, I'm OK with it.
