bathroom paint

I am moving into a house with a vile turquoise blue bathroom suite, the previous tenants had painted the walls lilac so as you can imagine it looks awful. What colour should I paint the walls to make the room look as nice as possible with the turquoise suite?? Also what type of paint do I need for a bathroom? Thanks x

bathroom tile design

I belive it is some type of cheap foiling technique because it scratches off easily and CANNOT be removed with OOPs or mineral spirits. Scratching it off is difficult because the designs is sunken in on the tile…I have also tried bleach, any other suggestions????????

I had to re-plumb the pluming in my guest bath room ended up damaging an existing tile where new faucet is being replaced. The tile replacement can not be made since the manufacture no longer carried the exact same time. I could fell the gap (hole) with a tile/kitchen/bath white culk but still would not look the same ore near as close as tile. I guess I can paint it over it, but it bit more complicated than that since the time had decorative design on it, can I sand the area once the culk is dried up to shape it to the design then paint it ?? IF I could find a matching paint color to my tile. I have a BIG head ache over this. I know its a small thing, but it really bothers me. I paid over $900 for my new Sink / wall mount faucet plus tile was brand new also. The contractor screwed up and they never returned, so I had to do it yourself fix.

What are the advantages/limitations and do’s/ don’ts of laminate flooring? I would like to use it for my kitchen and bathroom. Is it water-proof? Is there a special one for bathroom? Where can I find step-by-step installation instructions as well as helpful tips? Do I need to put on a water barrier layer before installing the laminate flooring? What are some of the good brands of laminate flooring? Any and all comments will be appreciated. I am a novice home improvement person.

We have this 1985 creamish / yellowish foe marble (actually plastic) in both of our bathrooms. When looking through a home improvement magazine I saw an advertisement for refinishing countertops. I’d like the countertops to just be white. I’m fairly handy and I’m confident that if I knew how it were done I could do it myself, but I do not know how it is done. Does anyone know how to do this or a link that shows instructions (or at least what is involved)?
It is actually a cultured marble as opposed to a faux marble as I previously stated.

I am doing some DIY in my bathroom. My ex wasn’t a bundle on home improvements so the bathroom has only been decorated once in 20 years; even then, it has not been stripped right back…until now!

I am finding all sorts of things but my question is about a bowed wall. The wall is uneven - it bows outwards slightly. Not much but, because I want to partially tile the wall, it needs fixing. It’s a partician wall, partly made of plasterboard, partly made of wood (I kid you not!). Not particularly well made either but there you go!

What is the best way to even this wall up? (And please do not suggest expensive wall replacement - I am on a finite budget and cannot afford to do this!)…

bathroom tile design

I have large (8in x 8in) ceramic tiles on my bathroom floor that came loose. The grout is cracked and now water that splashes out of my shower stall gets underneath it. I don’t want mold to develop under the tiles. I want to know how I can fix the tiles permanently and prevent water from getting underneath them. I have about 5 tiles that are now with cracked grout and with water underneath. They are white tiles with no fancy designs on them. Would adhesive caulk alone work? If not, what do I need to fix them and how do I do it? Thanks!

I have painted over all the walls as well as the shower recess wall tiles and they look stunning. Just like having a new bathroom but I just need to do something with the floors (bathroom as well as shower recess)without having to pullup the vile tiles that are there. Plz help :) They are ceramic tiles and any help would be appreciated thankyou.
