Possible the worst bathroom I have ever seen!

[Beachcomber]

Hard to know where to start with this utter shambles of a bathroom - installed by a builder about 8 years ago apparently.

Nice tiling:


Lovely sink cabinet - build flush to the bath edge so the panel is pushed in!


And the other end has a lovely cut out for pipes:


Why tile all the way up when filling the last inch and a half with filler / adhesive will do:


This join is slap bang in the middle of a wall?? Can only guess he tiles from one side, then started from the other and hashed the join when the 2 sides met:


Nice clean hole for the overflow


This is not a dodgy camera angle - the window does really look like this!


Nice uphill waste - in amongst all the carp left behind


Water pipes for sink floating in mid air:


These are just a few of the stack of cock-ups - it's a proper mess.

Worst of all - it's my bloomin bathroom! Been promising the missus to sort it since we moved in, now I've got 1 week to rip the lot out and re-do it

Should be fun!

The rubber ducks ok though!!

Check the newspaper for the date, looks more like the bloke put it in himself and is too embarrassed to say.

Are you keeping the tiles

Don't think Beachcomber would have made the post if it was a DIY job.

Might do - never done a full bathroom on my own before so this will be a bit of fun.

The 'hedgehog' in the second pic is a brush - hammer can be seen on the sink, took the pics just after I started to rip the old tiles off the wall - to reveal studwork made of old skip salvage

Excellent thread. Each pic leads you to think what a w*** the guy was who installed it and then you hit us with the sucker punch that it's your bathroom! Brilliant. OK, so you didn't fit it yourself Can't wait to see the finished pics.

I loved that! This forum is great!

[Beachcomber]

The fun continues - heres what I've found today:

Why build a unit around the sink?
'cos they can't be arsed to run the c/w pipes properly!


More quality brickwork:


Best bit yet - 2/3 of one wall seems to be made of an old wooden frame - still glazed!!!!


Oh the joy of it all

[Mooncat]

Surely plasterboard/plastering was invented to conceal rubbish brickwork?

Hi Beachcomber.
looks like you have a wee family of, cussons imperial leather in the brick work there? . I wish i could post pics of the things iv started im in a bit of a lather but never mind i know what it will be like when im finished.

so keep at it .It will be worth it

My lot don't have a clue they think im mad but i will show them!

All the best
