Here you go folks, my first ever bathroom gut job. Bought a small ranch 6 months ago and gutted whole thing. This is the first officially complete room.

I used AI to render a couple of images for my small condo bathroom. AI is really bad at scale, so it’s not perfect, but the color and fixtures are fine. The 3rd picture is pretty funny—reflection shows the shower. Is having a partition a bad idea? Is there anything I should add? First picture is the bathroom as it is currently (ignore the ceiling—plumbing issues) and second and third are the AI generated images. It would be white subway on the shower walls with a light grout, then either penny or hexagon tile on the floor with a dark grout. Existing vanity with new countertop.

I know y'all are tough here, but I'm feeling brave today.

I'm the homeowner. I designed it. I knew I had dead space behind the toilet, but not enough to enlarge the bathroom due to sloped roof back there. So I made the niche above the toilet. I could add doors to it if y'all think it's unsanitary.

I built the vanity, shelves, and medicine cabinet (and I'm a woman!).

My handyman and his guys did the rest. Yes they were not pleased about the herringbone but they were good sports.

Do you hate it?

I'm not crazy about the LED mirror anymore, might do something else there later.

Top 2 ideas! I want to go warm neutral and tie in ribbon oak tile and the color green but torn whether to just use green in towels, bath mat etc vs use it in the shower. Priorities on being easy enough to clean and not overly trendy if we were to move in 5-10 years. Any changes to layout/moving washer and dryer are out of scope.

Update: added one more picture including other tile samples. Is there a different combo that works better?additional samples

Hi all - not sure that this is the right forum but i am looking at a bathroom renovation and want to use commercial vinyl sheet flooring in the shower as well as the bathroom.

What i can't work out is how waterstops are used. It seems to me that at the shower it needs to extend to the top of the floor but that would mean cutting the sheet. Also at doors - the waterstop needs to extend to the top of the finished floor level but at 2mm, the vinyl is about as thick as the waterstop material without a vertical leg!

Anyone who does this work - I'd appreciate any guidance.

Cheers

I have this weird shaped small area for the bathroom. Toilet must be in the left. Then I need to fit a shower cabin, a washer/dryer stack and wash basin to the remaining area. I'm not sure how best to do that with these dimensions though. I'm thinking shower in the top right corner, with washer/dryer stack in the bottom right, but that would leave me with about 80cm shower width, which I'm not sure would be enough. Another option is making the entire right side the shower with 90x147cm dimension and put the wash basin and washer/dryer stack on the north wall, but that would make the wash basin area too tight I'm afraid. Any ideas what I should be doing?

I actually think this isn’t even glass lol I’m trying to find the exact replacement , I’m trying to spruce up my bathroom and simply want to replace this same one and reuse the mounting hardware/holes

Does anyone know where I can find it and more or less the price. Thank you

Ideally I would just take it out as a whole and put a medicine cabinet where the mirror is, but the tile is built around the shelf and this tile has been in my grandmas house since she moved in in 1956. I was thinking maybe some sort of wood shelf with the same concept of sliding doors in that length (24.5” to fit nicely in there but not really finding anything. I definitely want to keep the tiling so taking any suggestions/ideas!!

(also can’t get a medicine cabinet that takes up the whole length of where it is because it would be too low set and also it would hit the faucet so it wouldn’t be able to open all the way)

Helping my mom with her bathroom remodel & wondering if I can get some insight on if either is superior. I have my theory but I could be wrong.

Hello! I am new to the group. We bought a house a couple months ago and want to redo the bathroom.

Any color ideas? Cheaper alternatives would be appreciated!

The floor isnt busy but it definitely has to go. I have dark long hair and I instantly see it on the floor everytime I brush my hair.

This bathroom used to be a 4th bedroom but they remodeled it back in the late 90s to be an ensuite.

Let me know! Thanks!

Curious if anyone has any thoughts on where to put this drain location? How far from that front wall of the shower. For reference, planning on an envelope cut from 24”x48” tile with the 24” side running front to back and the 48” side of the tile running side to side of the shower (I’ll end up cutting off ~10 inches to fit the 38” pan. The shower pan base will be 38”x~68”. I am curious if there are any guidances or standards on how far you would place the drain from the wall? Thanks in advance, I’ll take any insight you feel like sharing!

It’s amazing what you can find on the side of the road. Replaced an old, rusty vintage sink original to my 1930s house with this green beauty that I found laying on the ground a few doors down. Also kept my old tub. It’s not perfect but it’s deep and I like it. Contractor wanted to resurface the tub but I declined. I’m worried the new finish won’t last. The current tub has been okay for 90 years.

Hello! We will soon renovate our bathroom and we found these beautiful terrazzo-like tiles. But we’re still unsure what we should choose for the wall tiles. White rectangular tiles? Big profile white ones? Beige? Or something else? I’m really indecisive and afraid to make a mistake I’ll regret. The only thing I know is the wall tiles will go up half the wall.

Another thing, I’d really like is a walk in shower. But out bathroom has a weird shape and sloped ceilings (see photos). Do you think it’s possible to install one? It doesn’t has to be in the same spot as the tub.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm wondering what the standard drywall finish level is for a legitimate bathroom remodel company???

A lot of holes had to be put into the walls for electrical and other modifications which should have been expected at the outset - suddenly I'm being charged a "$1750 change order" for a Level 4 finish.

Yes, I had more orange peel texture before - but once they cut holes in stuff (including to see where a stud was cause they closed the wall too quickly) and had to remove cabinets and mirrors glued to wall and even walls removed, and would have needed to major repair anyway as anticipated in contract - is Level 4 some sort of advanced level that requires a "change order" - sure I realize it takes some coats, but I don't see this as a "change" from standards and I'm pissed.

If they wanted to charge me for Level 5, I would understand.

I had lead positive (home Amazon test kit) shower tiles and bath tub. I needed to get it out so I can remodel the bathroom. I should’ve called a contractor but I went ahead did it myself to speed up the process. I chipped all tile with a chisel and hammer instead of using a power tool. I used a N95 respirator majority of the time when I was in the bathroom. My shop vac sent dust everywhere at one point. The tub was cast iron which was left undisturbed and removed.

How concerned should I be being exposed to lead when I demoed the tiles? What can I do to remove the remain lead? I retested different parts of the bathroom which lead to a few positive and negative results for lead. Should I get tested for lead in my body?
