Ok, not long moved in and did want to have bathroom completely ripped out but after having a new fitted boiler, electrical work, and work on windows budget is not looking too healthy!
For the short term I was thinking of keeping existing bath, tiles, floor and just getting rid of taps, shower head, plug fitting, and any bathroom accessories that previous owner had fitted.
One thing I have noticed is before I even start there are already a lot of raw plugs fixed in the tiles and assuming there will be more.
What is the common thing to do with these? Do you pull them out and fill with something?
Also noticed that there is mildew running in the corner of bathroom where floor meets skirting. Same corner where shower curtain is hanging.
I'm hoping this is where previous owner just left the shower curtain dripping rather than anything serious!
Apart from treating the area, is there anything I can use to seal the area? There is a gap around floor tiles where it meets skirting? Are these expansion gaps like with Lino? Should these be sealed?
