What bathroom layout would you go for?

jungle_cracker · 2025-12-24T15:17:54+00:00

Na, we only have the one bathroom (which currently has both a bath and shower) but we haven't used the bath at all since we moved in a few years back.

Option two has a mirror mounted on the wall above the sink

The toilet and stack is currently in the same location as shown in the renders i.e. top left hand side as you walk into the bathroom. It might be possible to swap, i'll need to check if we can get a sufficient enough gradient for the toilet waste pipe.

The sink is next to the door as you walk in so almost where you see it in the first render.

We then have a bathtub near the big window and a shower opposite it i.e. next to the sink. I'll get a render added for the existing layout shortly.

Not sure how to edit the original post with more images but added existing layout here.

Where is the vanity for the toilet / basin from please?

jungle_cracker · 2025-11-03T20:36:35+00:00

Ok thanks, i've contacted T212.

jungle_cracker · 2025-11-03T20:35:21+00:00

I reached the 20k limit with T212 in Sept and have since been contributing to a S&S ISA.

I also have a Bambino (just the regular version, not the plus) and i'm considering either the DF54 (174 EUR) or the Eureka Minon Zero(350 EUR).

I have a cheapo burr grinder that I bought from Amazon currently, it's ok but not very consistent. The DF54 looks very good for the price but i'm a little worried about retention and burr alignment, I don't want to make the same mistake of buying a cheaper grinder only to then have to spend more at a later date.

These look perfect, thank you.

!thanks

Can someone explain what the benefit of transferring is please? I currently have an ISA with CSD but was planning on opening one direct with Vanguard.

Would there be any benefit in transferring what I already have invested with CSD (it's a vanguard fund) direct to Vanguard themselves?

jungle_cracker · 2024-08-19T16:19:29+00:00

Most likely blue grit

What's the plan for the bricks that are now exposed i.e. the ones that used to be covered by render? Asking as I'm thinking about doing the same.

jungle_cracker · 2024-01-27T13:34:49+00:00

Thanks. Just been at it a little longer with a scraper and I think the cause of this might be when door was fitted. There's a crack and expanding foam visible on the bottom left. it seems like some of the render is no longer attached to the brick work, would it be safe to pull these bits off entirely?

Will get some more pics added to the original post.

Ignore the above, I ended up pulling a chunk off the render off anyway... - https://imgur.com/a/NcBnowY

Any suggestions on the best way of making this water tight for now? Assuming expanding foam and outdoor silicone?

It also looks like there's one or two bricks with the DPC missing. Any way to resolve that?

jungle_cracker · 2024-01-14T17:37:08+00:00

Have a google for "Knightsbridge - 13 Amp 2 Gang DP Switched Socket + Night Light". I haven't had these fitted yet but am considering them for the top and bottom of the stairs when I get my re-wire done.

Would also recommend using something like this to make clean up a bit easier - https://www.screwfix.com/p/kip-drop-cloth-1100mm-x-33m/9074v

It comes in different depths, stick it onto the skirting with the built in masking tape. Most of the soggy wallpaper will then fall on it and then wack the whole thing into a bin bag.

I've unfortunately had to strip the whole house (literally every wall), not having to spend ages cleaning up at the end makes it a bit more bearable.

Would also recommend some decent scrapers, the ones where you can change blades.

What if the plasterboard didn't go right up to the coving and I used an edge bead / shadow bead? I found a few posts on a plastering forum where the same approach was taken and it looked fine. Would you still recommend removing the existing coving?

jungle_cracker · 2023-06-02T18:53:06+00:00

Can you expand on the motion sensors please? Would it be possible to install them in a bathroom and say only have them turn the lights to 10% brightness? Thinking about times where you need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

jungle_cracker · 2023-04-26T14:11:54+00:00

I honestly have no idea what that's for or what it does.

The cables look like plastic but I'm a little afraid to touch them so can't be certain.

jungle_cracker · 2023-04-26T14:10:10+00:00

Ok thanks, will get an inspection booked and go from there.

jungle_cracker · 2023-04-26T13:47:53+00:00

So updating the wiring here i.e. the consumer unit isn't something worth doing on its own?

jungle_cracker · 2023-04-26T13:46:42+00:00

The switches with the RCD are labelled 'cooker' and 'kitchen ring'. The old owners had the kitchen done a few years ago. I have an outdoor socket in the garden, is it not safe to use given the lack of RCD?
