Bathroom repairs aka New Shower

This time last week we had to pack the girls up and head to a new residence for the week while the work on our shower began.  We found a nice little place that was animal friendly up on Latrobe Tce and enjoyed a week of BBQ's and being within walking distance of some cafe's & shops. Paris & Celine were not impressed about the relocation at first but settled down just as it was time for us to leave.

Our shower pretty much just decided to fall apart a few months back, the tiles from a large section just dropped off one afternoon.  When the insurers came to look we found out that there was large amounts of water damage and that the shower would need to be reapired as stage one then 2 walls and floorboards would have to be replaced in stage two.

We got to go pick a new shower head, hand held and tap and also the tiles, as we have done no renovations to this house it was quite exciting!

Stage 2 will be a huge pain as besides moving out again the shower backs on to our office and that is one of the water damaged walls to be replaced which means packing up the whole office (I have so many books it will take forever!)

Here are the before & after shots!!


BEFORE - Grotty white tiles, plastic taps, sad old shower head & the large hole taped over!!


AFTER: Large midnight blue tiles,  funky huge square shower head, slimline handheld shower head & one flick mixer

The colur of the tiles is so nice in person - just a little hard to photograph
