We recently completed some tiling in Laverton that came with its own set of learnings for the owner. With a few unforeseen costs that got in the way, the budget blew out and they opted to keep the moulded shower base. Renovations come with tough decisions!
Structurally sound, there is nothing wrong with this base. It’s a standard size which will fit an off she shelf shower screen which will go some way to wrangling the budget back under control. But with those white tiles on the wall, it stands out for all the wrong reasons.
Luckily, we live in a time with innovative products that can fix this up fairly hassle free. For those prepared to roll up their sleeves, a product like Rust-Oleum Tub & Tile could do the job for less than a hundred dollars. Cheap, right?
For those who struggle with a paint brush, don’t despair! There are plenty of specialist painting companies refinishing these kinds of surfaces every day.
Worried about durability? These products are made with epoxy paint which is incredibly strong. Provided the surface is well prepared, it will adhere well and be durable for years to come. And once this base matches the wall tiles? You’ll barely even see it. And that is the point, isn’t it?
All in all, though, the choice in tiles here is on point. In an older home with a small bathroom keeping to a neutral tile in a simple design is ideal. This room feels open and has a clean new look which will haul it into the twenty first century.
