Washroom Refurbishment

[steveveets]

Hi All
Been engaged in a little refurb of our Washroom/Bathroom/Toilet or whatever is the correct term. First image as bought, second just starting, third nearly done.
Those stick on tiles are b**stards to get in the right position though

 

[Northernraider]

That looks cool

Nice job, but I have to say I hate that style of tiling. I know it's very fashionable, but to me it just looks like the toilets in a 30s mental institution or prison.

Sorry, but it looks like a school toilet to me.

 

[steveveets]

Oh well some like it, some don't but I've earnt a good few brownie points with Mrs P so that's a win in my books

All those tiles must really reduce your payload!!

Stick on tiles, hardly any extra weight. Counterbalanced by some of the outdated fittings removed

Step away from your washroom .... !

Some people have unusually keen memories for institutional toilet facilities ...

Nice job, definite improvement on the original finish IMHO. Brighter and very much 'on trend'.

 

[Snoopy]

Looks great, good job

 

[Mikey RV]

Proper job.

 

[Bart]

Looks a good job , well done

 

[Feltwell]

Looks great, big improvement, brightens it up no end.

I think you have to be of a "certain age" for it to remind you of institutional toilets.

Here's my bathroom refurb, I got rid of the Hymer "blue" with granite stone effect paint followed by a coat of epoxy resin

Looks very smart, good idea re the paint and epoxy. Probably a lot easier than sticky tiles

Post the products up that you used please Figaro

If we all liked the same finish there'd be no choice available.

Makes you wonder how many have been in institution's or prisons

I would like to have my like room done but don't know where or how to start I have wood effect and the pink and blue flowers would love to see the back of both

For the granite effect I used Plasticote Stone spray paint from B&M after a base coat of grey primer to conceal the blue. The stone paint doesn't have much depth of colour so it's best to use a base coat of the approximate finish colour you want. This was followed by a coat of clear epoxy resin.

For the grey sections I used Bedec multi surface paint bought online. I bought light grey and soft white. The light grey was still too dark for what I wanted so I mixed enough making sure I had sufficient for 2 coats on everything.

I used the soft white MSP on the sink and it has proved durable so far after a matt lacquer finish.
Everything except the sink was removed for prep and painting.
Only the stone effect sections had the epoxy finish.

I was quite pleased with the outcome as the Hymer blue is quite dated now.

The Bedec is a very good paint.
The team that developed the pai paint originally worked for ICI, but when ICI declined to fund further development the team set up their own company and rest is history as they say.

I was in jail for 31 yrs . I was paroled in 2014 .

Thanks Figaro. All Bedec paints are good I find - I have a Victorian house with original sash windows and fancy gable end timberwork, I now will only use MSP on them- it lasts very well, much better than modern Dulux, being microporous it allows the wood to breathe. After going to the effort of restoration like the below, you want something that will last and protect your hard work!

A neighbour has just used their elastomeric flexible masonry paint on a garage with finely cracked render - he's been very impressed with it.

Does that mean you can rub up against it and exfoliate yourself?

Looks great by the way.
