Pimp my bathroom!

You can chip them out but need to be careful not to damage the surrounding tiles, and you would need replacements that fit!

Neutral colour walls - I'd probably have white.

I'd still go for tile paint - you can remove and replace tiles but you have to be very careful. If you're good at DIY it's an option.

I'd replace the shower curtain with a glass screen.

Put a much bigger rectangular mirrror over the sink - that round one is foul! It will echo the shape of the window and cover up some of the tiles!

I hope the corner unit under the sink, the blind and the carpet are going?

Then make the most of a few co-ordinated and tasteful accessories.

I would paint the walls white, get a coloured blind, some matching towels, new mirror and a new shower curtain. New taps maybe? They can be pretty cheap on eBay etc. I wouldn't bother with file paint, it looks crap after a while. Could you get some cheap white lino to tide you over until the floor is done properly. I think he white would help brighten up the room especially with the coloured suite.

I'm a sucker for coordination so I'd go for these kind if colours and a new floor for now

Haha yes agree the mirror is horrible! everything not screwed down will be going! er just realised the mirror prob IS screwed down, but its still gone!!

the carpet will also go (it is that pink/red throughout the whoooole house!!)

maybe once all those little changes are made the tiles won't look so bad! its defintely liveable until we can afford to rip out and start again!

thanks ladies!

Oh and always buy a new loo seat. Rule one of house moving....

Ditto this. I'd love to replace the whole suite if I could, it's a bit from when you think about over people wallowing in your bath.

haha yep, will be the first purchase!

eeeew. stop! i'll get the bleach out first!

We have a whirlpool bath and I remember reading about all the grime from people's baths getting stuck in the pipes and then going round when you have it on. I used to fill the bath with bleachy water every day and run it on a whirlpool cycle for hours! I've still never used the whirlpool setting as its grossed me out.

Bathroom is first on the list for our new house...

Just wear a full on wet suit every bathtime!!

In fact Buzzee, I could show you a picture of our tiles and you will instantly feel better about yours. My bathroom looks like a bogey-fest but it's fully tiled from top to bottom so I'm not in any rush to be changing it.

This was our bathroom before...

Lets see the after mrs c - have been v impressed with the other pics you have flashed before!

what is happening with your sale?

When I was 10 my parents bought a new house, maxed the budget so couldnt do any work and the house was a right state, the bathroom was awful, we managed with a lick of paint, a good clean, new flooring, new toilet seat, new shower curtain.. It did the job until they could afford a new bathroom!!

After

The entire bathroom suite was £180 from Wickes, we spent £100 on tiles and about £40 on the vinyl floor...

Just waiting to exchange now... taking ages!!

This is the bathroom in the new house... its got a separate loo which we want to knock into one.

Wow that looks great and is cheaper than we thought mrs c, maybe we should just get it all done in 1 go! the suite looks lovely - much pricier than £180! did that include the shower or not?

your new bathroom will be huge then! i came across a blog today something along the lines of apartment therapy.com which you might enjoy - lots of great ideas on there!

We should be able to get a bath and a shower in the new one.

Taps were extra, again from Wickes so not pricey. The bath came with two single taps but when we had the combi boiler fitted we had to take out the wall mounted power shower so just added a mixer shower tap instead. Our water pressure is so strong we dont need a power shower!!

Our flat was done on a complete budget... the kitchen was £350! (plus worktop...)

Our bathroom is on the "really want to do but can't afford it yet" list. It's a priority for after the wedding, It had cream suite, salmon pink flowery tiles all over, oak wooden bath panel toilet seat and cupboards and a manky blind.

It's amazing what difference it makes with a good clean, taking down all the horrible wooden rails and filthy cupboard, new toilet seat, blind new towels and some white gloss will do. still got the suite and tiles but can cope a bit longer.

I thought you above pinched my avatar for a minute ?

Lol yeah very similar! I googled xmas Akita and found it

You think you have bad bathroom tiles.....?

Ha ha, ah those are rather sweet!

I hate them!! If we wernt renting then they would have gone a long time ago!

I feel a bit better about mine now!

Wow mini, those tiles are very unique!

Ours was dolphins- will have to see if I've got a picture.

This was what we had...(needless to say we didn't move in until it was replaced!)
