Neat as hell Dilalio. Wish I could do bathrooms to that standard!

Thanks. Wish I'd taken photos of the original rooms before the works. Quite a difference - basins and wc's were in different locations and were just close-coupled and basins on pedestals, the family room had a bath in it with a standard shower cubicle in the opposite corner.

I think it helps here that the bathroom is large. It's hard to make a cramped bathroom look nice like this.

How much does it cost to get a bathroom like this, labour only?

I've got these blue Bosch drill bits btw, got them off ebay. The good thing with them is they can drill through various material, so you don't need to keep changing drill bits and you can drill straight through wood into masonry. I still have dowelling drill bits for precision drilling.

Cheers KOP,
I bought one of those PG750X's and yes, they are good - only problem with them is that it takes longer to get the crap out of the core than it takes to drill a hole
I have a set of dentist tools that I use for intricate work on shower valves/boilers etc which helped with this but still a pain.
I wanted to get the 6&8mm double ended one but my local screwfix didn't have them in stock

I always think there's more work in a small washroom because you can't move and need another room for your tools and set-up.
With the right design, planning and products they can look just as effective though! The main wetroom in this job was very cramped when it had the bath in it - creating a wetroom helps make it look bigger and this is true for smaller rooms too as you don't have to have a clunky, fully sealed screen setup.
