Bathroom Tiling

Have received and accepted quotation from tiler to carry out work in bathroom.
First step is for plumber to install the shower tray and drain, then tiler will commence to fit tiles to walls.
Electrician will then install underfloor heating insulation boards and heating mat and probe, and tiler will then return to tile the floor

Had much deliberation about type of tiles...lots of visits to tile suppliers...
Finally decided on Travertine with a border...pics to follow

Plastering complete

All rooms are now plastered and painting is ongoing. The coving and picture rail have been fitted, and given several coats of white paint.
