Re: Decorating the Bathroom
 

Its a pity that the previous people who owned my house didn't follow some of the above tips. Currently getting quotes about fixing the botch job, hopefully my dads mates (one who's a corgi registered plumber and the other who will plaster a walls for beer :D) will be able to fix it. Think I'm just going to start again really minus replacing the bath, sink and toilet which are in good nick.

BTW it looks fine but is an absolute nightmare to live with usually due to them not sealing everything properly and poor tiling at corners.

Re: Decorating the Bathroom
 

hehe i forgot about this thread :D

I never did really finish the bathroom all that time ago. But 6 weeks ago i got a new bathroom & kitchen installed aswell as a full house rewire, so the whole house needs doing now anyway.

There is advantages to my laziness, i'd be devastated if i'd done it all nicely, just for them to come and destroy it all (and that they did :dozey:).

When they did the rewire they moved all the light fittings too so definitely need to paint every ceiling.

I am currently (well, not right this minute) trying to remove the wallpaper from the kitchen, and it's soooooo hard to get off since it's waterproof :shocked::td::mad:

It is always good to plan how you are going to go about your home renovation ;)
With waterproof wallpapers I have had really bad times and the only way I managed to get rid of them was simply by scoring the surface so the paste dis solvent can penetrate. here is what i used http://www.wallwik.co.uk/
I was amazed that the the paste was all gone from my walls so i didnt have to sand them afterwards and it was quick and easy
