1437262 2017-07-17 02:39:00 Hmmm.
I got a bathroom guy in last week to fix the area round my bath, it had a single line of tiles, not so much the grout as the fact that it didn't cover the gap properly and had been patched endlessly over who knows how long.

He had excellent feedback and was highly recommended.

It became apparent pretty fast he was out of his depth and he made a hell of a mess.

I fired him and we ended up doing something totally different to solve it ourselves.
Guess you can't always trust the feedback either.

Some plumbers have told me that they have to use a shower installer or the warranty is not valid.

I have been quoted by two plumbers for about $300 for a standard install

Good suggestion! How does it work? extractor fan needed?

I agree 100%. Probably the best thing ever invented.

Could probably do without a fan but there are other steam makers in a bathroom. Basin, toilet etc :clap

1437269 2017-07-17 23:30:00 Shower domes are good, but if you have a shower curtain or a door that does not go all the way up to it they are less effective.
Basically you need to seal all the steam into the shower for them to work.

I have a feeling my bathroom broke all kinds of regulations, I just got a builder/ handyman and a plumber to help me convert an old bedroom and a tile installer to do the floors. Not a single one of them said anything about permits or warranties. Great bathroom though, I just may have a problem if I decide to sell the house.

1437270 2017-07-18 02:45:00 With the shower dome installed, does it mean that the shower door has to be kept closed after the shower? Will that 'encourage' the growth of mould within the shower cubicle?

And the next person going for his/her shower will have to wait for along time for the steam to settle down. I fail to see the logic behind this concept.
