All of the photographs on this page are from 2007.
This is a selection of before and after pictures.
As a rule IF you are viewing the page with your browser full screen you should the picture's side by side.
This first set of photographs is from a house in Thornbridge Close in East Hull.
The first eight are from the main family bathroom and the second four from the ensuite.
The picture on the left is before and the picture on the right the after.
Note walls are now fully tiled and I have fitted the accessories.
Again picture on the left is before and the picture on the right the after.
The bath taps have been moved to the opposite end of the room and a Trevi CTV shower introduced.
Again picture on the left is before and the picture on the right the after.
The WC is a modern dual flush water saving cistern.
Note the Radiator has been replaced with a towel warmer.

The next selection is the same house as above but this is the ensuite.
I did this room the following week.
The conventional Wc, basin & pedestal have gone to be replaced with units.
A semi counter top basin and a WC with hidden cistern and "back to wall" WC bowl.
A towel warmer has been added instead of a radiator.
You will have noticed by now the same tiles where used in both rooms.
You can also see that the customer kept the existing shower mixer valve, this is a good quality valve and was worth reusing.

This is a bathroom in Normady Avenue Beverly.
As you can see from the before and after shots the difference is plane to see. The old tiles had been painted over and this was peeling off.
The electric shower was also moved to a better position.
Again a modern Wc suite has been fitted.
All that was left to do was to repaint the walls that were not tiled and to arrange for floor covering.
*************************************************************************************************
Next is a Bathroom in Graham Avenue on Hessle High Road in Hull.
The first thing to point out is that I fitted the existing suite about 10 years ago.
The next is that the customer removed the existing wall tiles and in doing so damaged the plaster walls
to the point they simply had to be replaced. This is why some of the walls look strange.
The walls were replaced and fully tiled, coving was also fitted to the ceiling.
The bidet was removed and a large shower cubical and shower mixer fitted in its place.
If you look closely you can see I have also fitted a folding shower seat.
The Wc has been changed to a more contemporary design with a column of silver green tiles behind.
The old pedestal basin has been replaced with a vanity unit.
The radiator has gone to be replace with a large towel warmer. A whirlpool bath has also been introduced.

The next set of pictures shows what difference 30 years can make to a fashion statement :-)
Again the radiator has been replaced with a towel warmer, The basin move slightly to the right and a half pedestal used.
The Bath has now gone to be replaced with a walk in shower tray.
There is no door here just a curved glass screen to prevent water escaping.
The original shower valve was retained by the customer as it was in good working order.
These two are here just to show off the cubical.
The lady of the house asked me if I could "do anything" with the ugly soil pipe behind the toilet. I suggested I build a wall to hide both the pipe and the toilet cistern.
The result is a "back to wall" WC bowl with a concealed cistern all tiled with a loose worktop cover and push button flush.
