A complete renovation including new Kaboodle cabinetry, flooring, tiling, Mondella shower screen and tapware.
The project
Complete combined bathroom/laundry upgrade. Our 80s shack down south was in desperate need of attention. With double-layered Lino floors, pink tiles in a shower wall lower than head height, and only enough plumbing to run the sink tap or washing machine at once, we needed functionality and updated aesthetics. It has been a labour of love working with all the quirks of this place. Designing the layout to keep some of the natural charm and features with a new feel.
Steps
Step 1
The strip and surface preparation began.
Step 2
Walls were buffed to remove the introduced plaster texture, and walls rendered to level out and bring in some more natural texture to the room.
Step 3
The old pink shower was stripped and ripped. Tiling began on walls that remained.
Step 4
The shower wall was trimmed back to a more standard size, extended wall to the roof on the right side, and a small nib wall built on the left to suit the new shower screen size.
Step 5
Shower waterproofed and wall tiling completed. Got the hang of the subway tiles by this point.
Step 6
Floor tiling commenced.
Step 7
Hardwood resin-coated, prepared for the sink and washing machine bench.
Step 8
Bench and cabinets cut to suit.
Step 9
Final cabinetry, painting, washing machine installation and mirror fitting.
Step 10
Shower screen install (definitely a two person job), tap and handles fitted, trim and shelves installed.
