I am remodeling bathroom and have only four inches between wall and the edge of sink –thirteen inches to center of sink. Is this enough for comfortable use of sink?
I am considering purchasing a major fixer-upper home. The original part was built in the early 1900′s, and the bathroom is literally atrocious! That is the perfect word for it, it is really really bad, and is the only bathroom.
Quick description: It is basically like a hallway, there are two doors, and you could walk right through it. If you sit on the toilet, which is up against the wall on the left and shut both doors, you can literally lean across and touch the other wall. The current owners actually have the toilet paper hanging from a hook on door in front of you, if that can give you an idea of how tiny this room is. There is a small sink and a tiny tub, which is in the back of the room and goes from wall to wall.
Now, there is a room adjoining the bathroom that is pretty big and right now it has the water heater, washer and dryer, etc in it which I was thinking maybe I could pull that one wall down, rearrange some things for extra space ?? My Dad used to be a plumber and said it would be possible.
Any ideas? Is it too much work to pull the wall down? And how much is it really going to cost? I’m assuming I will replace all fixtures, etc. Also, the floor needs to be ripped up as it is rotting.
The house is really great and has wonderful potential, its really just the bathroom and the kitchen that need to be redone, but these are the most expensive rooms and I’m very nervous.
Ok. Here’s the issue. I had to tile around a window in the bathroom, including the window sill. This window is inside the bathtub/shower stall. Can I put some sort of white plastic trim around the edges of the window so it looks neat and tidy? I would like to have 45 degree angles at the corners too so it looks seamless. This is a DIY job, so of course, there was a tile that was not cut perfectly straight so now I would like to add plastic trim all the way around the window to make it look straight. Can you give me a name of the product or is it just some sort of generic trim you can buy at the hardware store.
I am looking to remodel my bathroom. The bathroom is very small! About 5 ft wide and 6 1/2ft long. Just to give you a visual of the layout-
when you walk in there is a tall cabinet to the left, a short/single sink vanity on the right, a normal toliet on the left next to the cabinet and the tub/shower is situated in the back of the bathroom. Our flooring is old and would probably need to be replaced as well. All in all, I would like to replace the floor&tile,vanity,shower,toliet, and add a different storage area. Please give me input about how much you think this would be or suggestions on design/layouts for the bathroom.

Hi I have a new house and apparently they installed some sort of "heat regulator" on my showers so that the water doesn’t get too hot. I prefer almost scalding showers… the water heat in all my other fixtures (sinks, bathtubs etc) is great. Does anyone know how to turn off the regulator so that I can quit taking lukewarm showers? Thanks.
I like the look of darker tones, but the previous owners installed light tile floors and tiles around the bathtub, light colored wood cabinets and beige counter-tops, and white walls/trim. I know I can paint my walls darker, but I don’t know how to do that without making the extremely light beige tiles on the walls and floor looking washed out. I have an extremely large bathroom so I know it could handle darker tones, it just feels so cold and sterile right now. I was thinking about restaining the cabinets and framing the giant mirrors over the sinks with a dark espresso type color (the counter is in an L-shape with a giant mirror that goes into the corners too). I was thinking maybe tan walls, but I don’t know what shade to do without washing out the tiles.. I would love to replace the tiles at least on the bathtub, but I don’t think that would be very affordable. Anybody with any ideas please help me! I feel so overwhelmed and I want my spa so I can relax! Trying to design it is way too stressful! lol Thank you to anyone that helps me!

My downstairs neighbor told me this morning that he heard dripping on his ceiling around the time I was in the shower (first time he heard it). He said it was really loud and thinks that I’m doing serious damage. He claims a leak ocurred with the previous owner–toilet gasket? And that there was a pipe leak once before several years ago. #1. I know NOTHING about plumbing. So I’m anxious about what kind of repairs I could be in for and how even to begin #2. I have limited info. How do I find this mystery leak? Even if I call a plumber will the whole floor/ceiling need to be opened up to find it? There is space between my floor and his ceiling. #3. A friend suggested that it could be the tub drain and that the tub might have to come out. I bought this place a year ago & the bathroom is really ugly. The previous owner had bathfitters — or the like installed to create a shower stall with the tub. If the tub comes out, will this require me to completely re-do the bathtub/shower stall?
We have a tiny walk- through bathroom (one door in my bedroom, the other in the family room) that my husband and I want to remodel ourselves. Are there any online sites were you can design your own bathroom with a given dimension?
So, i have an older jetted tub (1990′s or so) with no heater i know the newer ones make it easy but i’m not that lucky. I want to add a heater to it. the thing that confuses me is that the heater that they seem to sell only has a power plug. How do i get this heater to work with my tub. the pump is a air-based push button type, and i was hoping for a outlet on the pump motor, but no luck. I’d like the heater to turn on with the pump. I’ve thought about installing a switch, however the idea of sitting in a bathtub and messing with a power switch does not sit well with me.
Do i need to buy a new pump? Should i just add a new button on the edge of the tub for the heater? (who sells these if so?) What should be done here?
Thanks for your help.
That would make sense, however the pump is on an air operated switch.
Hi. I am having bathroom remodeled. 1950s shower stall w/ 7 shower heads 1 regular over head and 3 on each side. The original pipes are still there and original heads I presume as we have not changed them and we have been here since 1976. I can not find heads to fit the 6 but I want this style still? Any suggestions?
Okay, so here’s how it happens. My friend came over to drop off a computer that some lady couldn’t start. She said we could have it, but that it didn’t start. Simple enough, the starter and power button were dislodged from their sockets. so I start it up to have it crash half way through. I was worried about it so I checked the fan. Oh my god I have never seen such a mess. The filter was FULL. I rinsed it out in the bathtub and it turned the water BLACK. I burned myself several times, and I’m worried that the processor may be damaged.
And onto the problem from the details that happened since I got the computer.
So my sister, who I was working on this computer for, because she had this crap laptop, anyways, tried to install a game, Rebirth RO. Now the problem that worried me is that the natural updates didn’t install either, the XP updates, the internet explorer updates. Nothing finished installing accept for MSN9.0 Small files will install, but anything over 750 megs has a problem finishing to install. The CD drive won’t read, which I have an extra, but is there anything I can do to get it to finish installing? or is the processor damaged?
