Re: Bathroom conversion
Hi Mike,
we we have a 3 bed town house on lomas, and decided to re do the bathroom in our on suite about a year ago, used a local Spanish guy, who worked on the original Esuri site back in the day. He done a great job all back to the boards and resited the shower plus a full re tile walls n floor see below.

Aw shucks Ken after I had shown Mike our 1/2 bathroom I was going to come round to your house with a couple of bottles and ask if he could see your conversion. Only when you are in residence of course!ðŸ‘

Hi - Teed up, Looking at the pictures that is a really impressive job you have had done on your bathroom. That looks a high quality job done. How long did this take to complete & may I ask roughly what the total cost was ? feel free to PM me if you prefer.

Hi Keith,
we we wanted a full makeover, and as usual the wife went overboard on the tiles and fittings??, so cost wise it’s down to the quality you want putting in the room?.
We paid the fitter a day rate and he took about 5/6 days, but we also had the bath moved into the other bathroom and the sink taken out the other bathroom and two new sink cabinets fitted in the other bathrooms, all the tiles were from Porcelansa in Huelva not cheap but fantastic finish.

Re: Bathroom conversion
When l tanked our ensuite shower in the UK - and it was on the first floor so had to be A OK - I used preformed waterproof tray and wall boards. The boards were fixed over the existing tiles using special screws and gaskets then the joins between the corners and with the tray sealed with specialist tape and adhesive. Then as belt and braces I stuck waterproof membrane throughout out and then tiled over all and used acrylic grout. So far so good.
No lead, no zinc, no bitumen!i

Things have changed since I did it - a couple of decades ago. We used sheets of lead, soldered where necessary and then tiled over, so the tiled floor continued 'invisibly' into the shower... which is a walk in (or Italian) shower for me.
Hope to see you both soon
Jon
