Splashbacks

For those of you that don't know I'm refurbishing a house. Allot of my spare time is spent doing DIY jobs. Recently I have been doing our cloakroom and bathrooms and reversing the bodges done by the previous owner. So for those of you thinking of undertaking doing a bathroom here's some things not to do:

1) Don't stick the sink to the wall with No More Nails, great for skirting boards and dado rails but not sinks. Use bolts and screws instead they work better.

2) No need to put a tiled splashback above the toilet cistern, is your aim that bad?

3) If you put a shower over your bath, extend the tiles up to stop making the walls wet - don't just buy lino with a tile pattern and stick it to the walls.


So, if you are out there Mr Previous Owner, please leave your new house well alone, get someone else to do the work for you.
