Bathroom Blues

Our bathroom had seen better days, with the shower having leaked ever since we moved in. Despite my best attempts to fix the leak, it was gradually getting worse & my temporary repairs with parts from other showers, since spare parts for ours were no longer available :( , were no longer stopping the continual flow of water. Just to make things difficult, the shower is completely buried behind the wall & the soldered water connections have to be custom made to suit each seperate application. So replacing the shower basically meant replacing most of the bathroom which could be read as an expensive, messy, & time consuming process.

Our neighbours recommended a contractor to us who 'rehabbed' the bathroom (with a bit of help from Cheryl & I). It was a bit of a nightmare having to go to the local sports center for a shower, but luckily we have a downstairs toilet so it wasn't too bad that we didn't have a toilet upstairs for a fortnight. The bathroom now looks really nice (in a fetching shade of bluey green) & is now a much nicer place to spend time in.
