there are many ways to make your bathroom more environmentally friendly without spending a fortune, fortunately to make the bathroom green does not require loads of money for even a dramatic change in lifestyle habits. It is not necessary to do without luxuries for instance, a complete set of organic bath linens require less fertilizers and pesticides to grow than a single cotton bath towel.

We have had a lot of enquiries recently regarding the difference between electric showers and power showers, so for anyone who is still a little unsure we would like to set the record straight. Electric Showers; Electric showers draw water straight from the mains cold feed and then heat it within the shower unit using an electric element. Electric showers are suitable for use in most properties as long as the incoming cold water pressure is OK.

Nowadays, the shower is just as important in modern bathroom suites as the bath has ever been, having risen massively in popularity over the years. This is hardly surprising, as showers use far less water than baths, so are far cheaper to run, and come with the bonus of “green” credentials. (On average, you use as much water in one bath as for five showers, so the savings are substantial!)

The decision had been made; we were having a new bathroom. First things first I needed to order the bathroom suite. That’s the easiest bit out of the way so now to get a price off a professional to come and sort it.

Our current blog design has served us well and really does look the part.  the only problem we have is that it is to company focussed.  What I mean by this is that it doesn't lend itself to interesting reading (Unless you are really into baths) We have decided to take the plunge and have a complete re design of our blog.

Has your bathroom seen better days? Does it perhaps have chipped and stained finishes, exposed pipes, and a noisy old cistern – or is just a bit dated, with 1970s tiles or a sludge green suite? If so, you’ve probably wondered about doing it up or even replacing it entirely. You might also have thought about fitting an extra sink or loo somewhere else in the house, especially if you have a growing family. But if you have, you’ve probably also worried about the cost and decided it’s just not practical – or will at least have to wait till you’ve got some savings to spare.

Looking at the massive ranges of modern bathroom mirrors and bathroom cabinets across the internet and on sale generally, made me think about why they've become so popular in recent years. After all mirrors are useful for everyday bathroom preening (for him and her!!) but cabinets have extra functionality in that they are very useful for storing all

First major job of the day was to remove the remaining tiles from the main wall. This although menial was vital to the overall project.  All in all I would estimate individually the tiles that I removed that day ran into the 000’s each tile needed three delicate hits with the end of the hammer, two for the tile and one for my thumb, or it felt that way .

The first major job of the day was to remove all the old tiles. These tiles were tiled ontop of other tiles thus meaning they were incredibly difficult to remove. Around the top of the toilet came away with ease, they did remove half the plaster on the wall with them but they came away in clumps of 5+ tiles. I found the best way to remove these tiles was to use a good heavy flat head screw driver, this enable you to tap it in directly behind the tile and lever it away from the wall. Read more...
