Bathroom Renovation - Complete Timelapse

A complete and quick version of our bathroom renovation project. How to remodel a bathroom and get amazing results for not much money - fast / timelapse version!

In 2020 we ripped out our old, dated and ugly bathroom from our 1930s bungalow. The first task was to remove all the tiles from the wall. Most of the plaster came away with it too, so I had to remove all the loose plaster, architrave and skirting. I then skimmed the walls with some bonding. When our plumber removed our bathtub, toilet and sink, we discovered that there was an old leak underneath the bath. I lifted the floorboards to inspect the damage, and unfortunately three of the joists were badly rotten and the brick foundations were unstable. I cut away all the rotten bits of the floor joists, made good the foundations and then added new supporting joists, plus some noggins to further strengthen the floor ready for the new bath to be installed. We then got a plasterer in to skim the walls and ceiling, and I primed the plaster with emulsion mixed with water. I laid a thin mix of tile adhesive over the old floorboards and added aqua panel on top secured with screws. I then applied more tile adhesive and laid the terrazzo floor tiles. We then grouted the tiles. Then I removed the old window, and replaced it with glass blocks. We could then decorate the room, and I made a sink unit and started boxing in pipes after our plumbers second visit. Electrician installed new lights and extractor fan plus digital shower in the loft. I then rippe out the old fitted cabinet, added new studs to get more depth on the inside, and cladded with birch ply, and skimmed the wall. I made a new custom bathroom cabinet using birch ply to fit inside the old existing mirror doors which we re-used. I made new full length birch ply doors to hide the hot water tank, and added a floor threshold. The plumber installed the shower tray, and I then primed and tanked the wet shower area. Then it was on to tiling the shower using some subway tiles. I could then add new skirting boards and architraves, and finally our plumber fitted the shower and glass shower screens. We were so pleased with the end result.

Congratulations, you are not just a woodworker but also a fully-fledged renovator. You have made a wonderful job of completely replacing everything and plastering the whole thing before tiling and doing a great job of all the things needed.

Once again Keith a brilliant job. Quality of workmanship shines through.

I started watching our restoration videos but your talents are far beyond that and this bathroom remodeling is fantastic and far removed from restoration. I have no gifts for what you do but have enjoyed watching all your work.

[andrewprice]

I started watching you many years ago and I have to commend you on how you have developed as a woodworker, from the days of finding rickety old wardrobes in the street to full, custom bathroom builds is an amazing development. Well done Sir.

[terristroh]

Very very classy bathroom! All that hard work shows in those seamless details. Just WOW!

[pteddie]

Great job, Keith. You two have quite a creative/decorator's touch. I especially liked the clear glass blocks.

[clydedecker]

My goodness! What as lot of fiddly bits you had to mess with and build work-arounds for in one little area. Great work. I'm sure you're BOTH happy with that job being complete!

[Angelious]

Fab finish! Really like how you show what you did and where it was necessary to bring in the trades. Beautiful green tiles in the shower.

[kokeshidoll]

A big leafy green plant would look good in that room, especially across from the green glass tiles. Great job 👍🏻

That’s a first class job Keith, looks fantastic 👍.
