Hi, I am toying with the idea of laying laminate flooring in the bathroom. The price is about the same as tiles, but a lot less chew. I could have it fitted for around £70.00 I asked the salesman at the store if it was suitable for bathrooms. He said they had laid it in bathrooms with...

Hi, As you may see from my previous posts I am working on my bathroom, which has turned into a bit of a nightmare. The current problem was a dreaded plinth built by the previous owner, in poor fashion in my opinion. Now the plinth has gone and I am back to the normal floorboards all pipes...

Hi, I have what appears to be a shower tray with honeycombed polystyrene base. I am going to sit the base on tiles. I wonder is it OK for the base to get wet or do I need to somehow seal the edge of the plastic base to protect the foam inside. Also the base has a kind of plastic box under the...
