Main Bathroom

First thing to get done on the list was the shower in the main bathroom.  It really needed doing before we got tenants in, so something we wanted to get done prior to moving in ourselves.  Also motivation was the fact that the shower had a mixer rated for low pressure and we are now running mains pressure.  Aim to slowly replace all the tapware as we renovate the house. 

Photos of the current main bathroom, yes note the mutliple blue colours in the bathroom.  Not the best, but easily fixable.


 

Rennovating the bathroom - Stage 1:
Managed to get a really good deal on a Englefield Sapphire shower from PlaceMakers, so got the Methven Kiri Slide Shower and shower mixer from them as well.  This was installed by a plumber that we contracted through builders crack.  Not sure that I would use him again, but it did an alright job.

Rennovations - Stage 2:
Now we just need to paint the bathroom, this won't be done until we get to Auckland. The colours will be Resene White Pointer on the walls and Resene Alabaster on the ceiling and the trim.

Rennovations - Stage 3:
Purchase new bath and maybe move to beside the shower (under the window), replace the window with a larger window and  replace the vanity and flooring.  Another option is to add a new window above the bath instead of moving the bath.
