Bathroom Remodel? I have an old house and am currently remodeling the bathroom, and not sure how to proceed. So far I have tiled one whole wall with white subway tiles, installed a new sink, repaired the original octagonal tile floor and replaced the ceiling with bead board, also in white. My question is, how do I proceed with the other three walls? What would look best? More tile? Drywall? More beadboard? I am trying to maintain the integrity of the original bathroom, which I would say was added to the house around the 1920's. any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

How long will it take to complete a small, bathroom remodel? Hi all, I must preface this question with "we only have one bathroom", so time is of the essense. Here's what we want done: - New shower/tub insert - New tile on floor and half way up walls (sorry - not sure what that's called) - Repair water damage (there's a leak in tub area - it's been going on for about 6 months) - New cabinet (will order) - Paint as needed (will keep current color) - Replace fixtures - Update plumbing (I think this will be limited) Other than the water damage, I don't think we'll have to replace/remove any sheetrock. Also, we're keeping the toilet (just replaced). So, how long do you think this will take and is there any wisdom that you'd like to pass along. We're open to all suggestions. We'll be using a friend's bathroom until all is done, but we want it done fast! Thanks!

Post bathroom remodel question? About 4 weeks ago I had a complete bathroom remodel done, everything demo'ed and all new put in. Is the grout supposed to get darker when the shower is in use? The old tile was not like that, also I keep discovering tiny holes in the grout, that weren't there before. Is either of these something to worry about, or will it cause me problems down the road? I ended up having the contractors from hell, I had to double check everything thing they did, for 3-4 days in a rowI had a punch out sheet daily with between 15-20 items listed that needed to be done and/or corrected. Are the things I mentioned regarding the grout just more to add for them to fix? I don't think the grout was sealed, and I don't know if that is part of the job or an add on, does anyone know what the industry standards ares? Thank you in advance.

Is this bathroom remodel estimate high? My husband and I are looking to gut and replace our bathroom. It is currently very dated and requires a little plumbing updating. Part of the gutting will be removing an existing linen closet and a built-in vanity and a built-in hamper. The room is 6 by 9 feet with a standard-sized shower/tub insert. We plan on getting standard-grade replacement tub, shower insert, toilet, and vanity. Aside from some plumbing updating, there is no structural issues or any "catches". We live near Boston, Ma. Our estimates for this project so far have been $12,500 and $16,700. Do these estimates sound high? We would like to do this ourselves (as we usually do everything ourselves) but we are expecting a baby very soon and we don't have the time or ability to do it ourselves right now. Thanks in advance for any input.

Bathroom remodel questions: reporcelain tub? new toilet? pedestal sink or cabinet? My house was built in the 60s. The bathroom is small. I can't afford to completely remodel (rip out walls and replace/redesign everything), but something has to be done to make the bathroom better. I'd like to also do things that will be better in the long run should I decide to sell the house in the future. TUB: The tub is large, but the porcelain is worn and chipped. It needs to be resurfaced. I was going to have a company come in and re-porcelain it. It is white now. the tile that covers half of the bathroom is white. (1) Should I get it reporcelained by a company? (2) If so, what color? (3) There is no shower, should I add a shower and those sliding shower doors? TOILET: Currently, the toilet is small. It has an old wooden seat that is broken and needs to be replaced. The hardware is old looking too. I think I should totally replace the toilet. (4) Do you agree? SINK: Currently there is a cabinet sink that it probably 20 years old. It is stained and needs new hardware.... ...More v v v v v v ...This is the only bathroom in the house, so this sink will get used every day. We don't really need the cabinet space because there are three cabinets mounted on the wall in the bathroom and a linen closet right outside of the bathroom. If I install a shower, one cabinet will have to be taken out. (5) Should I install a pedestal sink or one with a counter or cabinet?

Ideas for a bathroom remodel and redoraction? My hub and I purchased our home three years ago, and it only has one bano! It was charming, because the tile was original from the forties. It's a pale blue. The tile on the floor was nasty, white tiny tiles from that same era. The grout is gross, and I have tried every chemical to get it cleaned. So, the rest of the fixtures are "eighties" ish-pedestial sink, three door medicine cabinet with ugly bulb lights above it. In short, it's GOTTA go, because soon, (within a few years), we need to upgrade this starter home to a bigger house. So, I'm thinking nature colors: chocolate with sage green? a vessel sink? Ideas and trends are welcome!

Bathroom Remodel Layout Help? I own a ranch style home that has a main floor and a basment. There is a 1/2 bath in master bathroom and a full bath (tub/shower) in the hallway bathroom. There is also a full bath (tub/shower) in the basement. I DEFINITELY want to put at least a shower in the master bathroom but there is no space in the current layout. Since the master bathroom and hallway bathroom are adjacent to each other I was thinking of knocking down the wall in between the two and basically putting a corner shower in the master bathroom and then taking out the tub in the hallway bathroom and making it a shower. Ideally I would like to have a shower in master bathroom, tub/shower in hallway bathroom and a tub/shower in basement bathroom but there is just not room for this unless I expand the exterior house walls and I don't want to do this. Would having two showers in the main floor and a tub in the basement be OK? I know families with kids always like having a tub but they could go to the basement for it.
