1st attempt small toilet

[aanicol]

Quite chuffed with my 1st attempt at tiling and installing a sink & toilet.

And even better the other half is over the moon also.


Unfortunately I don't have 'before' pictures, but rest assured it was a mess, light green toilet and sink, and awful tiles.

Only problem I encountered was with the fixings for the sink, nothing behind the wall, so had to improvise with spring toggles and threaded rod cut to length.

It looks good. Im sure you will get your leak fixed and its just a small problem.

Looks really nice.

I want to do something similar, but am hopeless at designs/styles for tiles. Where did you get yours from, and what colour are they? Also, where did you buy the suite?

Many thanks.

'Bumpy White' 20x25cm wall tiles and matching 'Bumpy White Decor' with black/silver motif scattered randomly http://tiles.toppstiles.co.uk/search#w=bumpy white&asug=

Bought the tiles first @ just under £10/M2 and salesman gave me a 10% voucher for a future purchase which I used for the motifs, just as well they were out of stock at the time

'Geneva' white floor tiles from Wickes again just under £10/M2

'Fabian' toilet and sink from B&Q was £159 for both

'Cascade' tap from B&Q retails at over £200 for the light version but can be had for less than £100 from a well known auction site on a Buy It Now
