    Paint splatters bath

    . Some members did give interesting advice like taking a sledgehammer to the pink bath ( mind I have been tempted) and even drastic advice like ripping out floorboards to replace with plywood ( all for the sake of laying vinyl). No thanks

    Paint splatters bath

    Btw I inherited it when the house was purchased 25 years ago. Pretty ghastly colour for a bath suite I admit, but it’s served me well. The new bathroom suites with their tiny toilets so low to the ground are like toys and I can’t afford a decent suite so I am stuck with it.

    Thickness of plywood over floorboards

    Thank you for your replies. The floorboards are in quite a good condition and level with no big gaps between. Also I don’t want the bathroom floor to get higher than the landing which is carpeted. I am thinking 6 mm plywood.

    Thickness of plywood over floorboards

    Hi everyone. Hope you are well. I am thinking of having vinyl flooring installed in an old terrace house bathroom with bare floorboards. Before I can do that I need a subfloor of plywood fitted. My question is what thickness of plywood would be ideal? Many thanks for any advice.
