Previously papered plasterboard, stripped bare and dents and dings filled with polyfilla, then sanded flat to take emulsion. Thinned coat followed by two unthinned coats has lead to the pollyfillered areas bulging slightly and the previously feathered edges raising slightly. I am guessing it...

Not if you buy a suitable product and only just bury the cable. I did this and my floor is lovely and warm and when you tile you won't have the problem of pushing the tile into the adhesive and then having it sitting directly on the cable. PP

Definitely go for UFH. I've got a bathroom with stone floors and it is COLD under foot even with the central heating on. The UFH is lovely! tiler jase are you who I think you are? :D PP

Cheers Turpin. I agree about seeing it in the flesh, but I am more thinking about overall final look as that is what I can't visualise. Know any good websites? Cheers PP

Nice one! :wink:

Looks a great improvement! Hope it stays that way! Did you tank the shower area before tiling? PP

Looking for inspiration for bathroom design. Anyone have any good links to bathroom finishes, other than catalogues? I am not good at 'visualising' finished rooms, but know what I like when I see it! Cheers PP

Try looking here http://www.distinctivedoors.co.uk/frequently_asked_questions.htm The link is to their FAQ and half way down it mentions bespoke size ordering.... I've bought a pitch pine internal door from them and the quality is exceptional. PP

If you take a look at the Wiki at the top and then look under bathrooms you will see my bathroom project and how I did my floor. Good luck with it. PP

Dallmer do a huge range of drains. I used one in my wet room and so far it has proved faultless. http://www.dallmer.de/sanitaer/html_gb/index_gb.html can be seen for sale herehttp://www.boundarybathrooms.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_WetFloorDrains.html A normal waste needs to be fitted into a...

Yes gcol That is actually what is being done......it was my wording that was incorrect! :oops: PP

Have a look here for Bal/Dunlop gear. http://www.trades-direct.co.uk/

What about stove enamelling? That's pretty sturdy stuff. Could that be applied to copper? Or powder coating? Not as scratch resistent, but only the 'top' would get rubbed by curtain rings.
