Vaulted ceilings, Edwardian hand-carved architraves and coving, stained-glass windows and crystal chandeliers all around his neck of the woods. Even their servants' quarters and stables are of a far richer standard compared with our council house and brick shed. ;);)

I had mine done in 2016, for 10K.
My bathroom is not particularly big.
The inflation calculator tells me thats now about 14K.

By heck 26k for a bathroom refurb, bit different from Ma filling that old tin bath in front of a coal fire on a damp Sunday evening :D

When did you come in:shocked: you have really covered it. Need a walk in shower , covering my bases, old age and all that. For the record it's a complete gut job . Even to moving a window and yes it is:D

I'd love to 'cover the bases' for my aging body and it's unstable limbs, but no matter how much I try, the wife is very much against selling up and buying a bungalow.

Retro fitting the house (3 bed det) is obviously a few quid too far away to contemplate :erm:

Trying everything not to make my rug rats happy and move back:dozey: crazy as it seems I am happy to end my days here. Luckily the house isn't listed so moving a window is OK. Now thinking about adding underfloor heating, as everything is up anyway.

My doctors surgery has underfloor heating. It's a no brainer but already in a steamy room, will you be able to breathe?

If your room is steamy get you ventilation sorted :D

I did have it sorted or supposedly. Around 10 years ago I had mine refitted and the kind lady surveyor said putting an extractor in the window would be less hassle than into the wall. Fast forward some years and it was better to be installed at the highest point into the wall. Now I have a bumhole in the window. I keep the fan spinning between medium and highest setting.

I'm old fashioned and just have a small window open all the time.

Admittedly it can get a little chilly occasionally, but it stops people lingering in there if others become 'desperate' for a visit :D

It's the same here, but the window gets shut at night....

We recently had a home inspection to check that it is all "up to code".

The bathroom fan has been sealed over with plastic since we arrived here in 2001. The outside of the vent had been blown off, and, despite being reported many times, the council don't give a toss, reportedly because "it's an electrician's job, and they won't climb a ladder to replace it".
