I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

A little repair job in a house in the village, and a quick glance into the bathroom… I notice a few things…

Firstly, the tiles make it look like a public convenience.

Second…. Windows are clear… no frosted glass…

And finally…. Can you spot it?

Socket on the wall?

Unfinished plumbing in the bath?

Owner a Newcastle fan?

Tiling looks a bit ropey above window and to immediate top left corner of window.

Plus the socket obviously

Those tiles seem to be very popular with kitchen/bathroom fitters at the moment - possibly because they are cheap.

What's the betting that was a room converted (badly) from a bedroom to a bathroom without an electrician being involved...

 

[Dustydazzler]

Clearly a converted Bedroom , I have worked in numerous old houses that have converted a spare bedroom into a luxury bathroom and they still have the old 13amp sockets in use in the new bathroom

Clear glass in all my bathroom windows as well, including the holiday cottages.

Yes
Yes
And unfortunately, Yes


Dartlec. Spot on. House owner is a builder and that room did indeed used to be a bedroom.

He messed up the staircase 2 way… hence my involvement… and I’ve told him socket in a bathroom is not good.

Light pendant not good either….. and this bathroom contains the third electric shower of the house.

 

[Dustydazzler]

My parents house had a high level single 13amp socket original to when the house was wired for a plug in bar heater

I have also stayed in hotels with a single socket in the bathroom area

The quality of the tiling in that bathroom would annoy the hell out of me especially in that bay and the floor border not lining up with the skirting tiles. The attention to detail is certainly missing

My brother hates metro tiles because of the time they take. The spacing is poor too the grout lines are all over the place.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I have had a go at tiling a few bathrooms for myself and larger tiles are easier and much nicer to work with , those tiles look a real painstaking mission to get right

Pain when the tapered edges coincide with the edge of a fitting.

If you get the first two or three of rows right then the rest falls into place, I find it makes it easier if you CAD it all out so all the corners look like it has been thought out

 

[Mike Johnson]

Whoever set out those tiles needs to be shot, above the window is near exact three tiles high and there are different cuts on either side, easiest thing in the world to make the niche the same height, Oh and the socket and pendant light.

I’m waiting for a low sun to hit that glass ball thing and burn the wooden door.
