You're not helpinggg. Lol.

If the tub is in good shape, then keeping it is an excellent idea and well in keeping with the ethical remodeler's creed: "Do the least to your old house that fixes the problem."

Pink bathrooms fell out of style for more than 50 years, but they are back now. And, there are hoards of restored or restorable pink toilets and sinks available online.

I grew up with pink bathrooms, so I am not a fan, but a lot of people are. Pink bathrooms even have their own website now: https://savethepinkbathrooms.com/. Another good source for information Is Pam Kueber's Retro Renovation.

If the floor is in good shape, I would keep it. You can't get tile like that today except for mucho dolares. Have it cleaned, the tile and grout repaired (if needed), and the grout resealed by a professional (if you do not have those skills yourself.)

The wall tile needs to go, but complementary tiles in a compatible green are everywhere, so that should not be a problem

Vintage pink toilets and wall-mounted pink sinks are not hard to find. On e-Bay alone, there are usually 15 or more for sale from $200 - $900. You will probably have to have the innards rebuilt to comply with the current federal low-flow toilet standards (or not. If you don't tell, we won't either.)

Ditch the baseboard heater for something less obtrusive. A fan-light-heater unit might work. A ceiling mounted radiant heating panel while not period-specific is almost not visible and if mounted over the tub, adds considerable comfort to bathing.

You will need to add modern ventilation, if it is not already there. Work out size and placement with your mechanical contractor.

Vintage or vintage-look tub-fillers and lav faucets are everywhere, so no problem there.

To turn the space over the tub into a shower area you will need to waterproof the space by replacing the existing wood window with a vinyl window (with obscure glass) and the jamb with a PVC jamb. Tile the walls up to the ceiling and up to the window jamb. Seal the gap between the jamb and the tile with a good silicone caulk.

And now you have an updated vintage bathroom with modern functionality.

We have done dozens of them. It's not that hard.

Pink tub, pink towels/accessories, everything else white.

Replace the window with a PVC privacy unit, demo the lath and mortar walls and replace with waterproofed tile backer board/waterproofed CBU taking the opportunity to waterproof the joints at the tub and window. Trim the window in manufactured stone. Keep the floor and use a similar pink and blue color scheme on the wall tile. Eliminate the shower curtain next to the window and replace the other one with something white with a bit of pink or light blue in it. Try to find a pink toilet.

To everyone. I am the contractor in this project.  For one I do not like to glaze the tub as ive seen them peel after 
3  years. I was asking more like in a design stand point. What color tile or anything else would go with that tub? Thank you

Make the pink tub a feature---

I think white is your friend with that tub. White wall tile, toilet and sink. maybe a light gray for floor and although the light is great either a rain glass window or replace with smaller one on top half and frame in the bottom.

Do you think a beige tile with some blue inserts (any type of insert) in there will work ?

No, I would use white and blue, not beige. Or black and white.

I grew up with this exact bathroom tile (in the link) with yellow and black (instead of pink and black). She did a great job incorporating the tile and fixtures.

Do you think a beige tile with some blue inserts (any type of insert) in there will work ?

Beige and pink can be tricky to pair. You need them to have the same temperature for them to harmonize, imo. Beige is a notoriously tricky "neutral". I'd go with a soft white before I'd consider beige. Consider your mix of sheens as well, not just colours. That can play a huge part in how a bathroom feels.

Here is a fabulous feature in the UK House & Garden magazine on colourful bathroom fixtures. I kind of adore this one with the pink tub. Note the green floor is most probably vinyl or linoleum, not carpet. On my screen, the wall has yellow in it - doesn't read beige. Notice the window frame picks up the colour of the tub and sink. Chrome fixtures but muted gold mirror frame.

Hope these ideas help. What vintage is this bathroom? I love that tub detail.

Thank you.

Kim and Scott from the Yellow Brick Home blog did their vintage bathroom in black, white, and pink. It's so clean and fresh looking. There are more pics on the blog, but here is one screenshot.

I thin the OP is right about the epoxy coatings used to re-color porcelain tubs. They do not last. After several bad experiences years ago, we gave up on re-glazing, but we do still use epoxy for small repairs and patches.

@Amy Lynn I like that pink, black and white scheme.

@Amy  I like that idea.
@Star craft. Yeah not a fan. Besides the tub is in perfect condition. The way it is.

@Amy as far as color/ idea on that blog i like it. For quality of work, not so much

I would keep the floor and the tub.

I'd go to www.heritagetile.com and get shower/tub tile in the same pink/gray combo as is now there and just do the shower/tub area. Replace the window. Then replace the vanity and get a funky wallpaper that is of the era for the walls.

For some reason I love this . Ive done for another client.

I bought a house where they had white epoxy coated the tub and wall tile...I think for the sale. The coating started to flake off after 3 years and then it looked terrible, but the bath and the tile itself was in excellent shape, in was literally and figuratively "in the pink". So a lack of imagination essentially ruined the whole bathroom and it was a gut job when I remodeled. The lath and mortar on the walls was a pain to remove and the cast iron bath came out with a sledge hammer. So avoid epoxy coatings.

Honestly, not my favourite mix but I favour subdued tiles and patterns (grout lines count as patterns).

I would try to deep clean and save the floor, might need a grout touch-up. Try to take those pink trim tiles off the walls extremely carefully and save them. Finish the gut out on the rest of the blue wall tile. Basic white tile to replace the blue wall tile, and hopefully retrim it with the salvaged pink tile. Stencil to complement the blue of the floor, tie in the pink, and either white or a complementary grey (maybe something from that marble sill) to it for the upper above the tilework. The rest of the walls that aren't in the pic too? Maybe a pinstripe or subtle pattern. Trim on the window white.

Don't know what the current fan is, but if it hasn't been replaced in a while, replace it. New units have nice lighting, more efficent and quieter fans, and some even have stuff like heating and blue tooth control.

Change the dark vanity out for white, and not sure if that sink is beige or pink? Keep it if it's pink, replace it with white if it's beige.

Don't know what you have for a vanity light, would need pics of that area to take a guess.

I respect your personal preference for subdued color schemes, but subdued was not the decor choice of the post-war period.

It was a period of enormous optimism. The U.S. and its allies had just won the most destructive war in world history leaving the U.S. virtually unscathed. The domestic economy had doubled in size in four years. We produced more food than we could eat, more steel than we could use, and over 50% of the world's oil. Gas was 19 cents a gallon.

The U.S. industrial base was intact while those of other industrialized nations were in shambles. It was a new world, and we owned it.

Our national optimism was reflected in the bright and cheerful color schemes used to decorate the thousands of affordable homes being built across the country -- one house finished every 3 minutes. Bright green with peach or pink, azure with beige, lemon yellow, and cadet blue -- these were the colors of the post-war period, not white and black, beige, taupe, or ivory.

So, while I understand your decorating choice, muted and subdued in a post-war bathroom does not respect the architectural period. Get bold, go crazy. It's fun.

For more on post-war architecture, see Post-war Housing Styles, The Post-war Bathroom, and The Post-war Retro Mid-Century Kitchen.

"I respect your personal preference for subdued color schemes, but subdued was not the decor choice of the post-war period."

@StarCraft Custom Builders, thank you for sharing these great sites. To be clear, I was referencing the picture the OP shared of a bathroom they did for a client where they mixed white, blue, pink and beige.

Not a pro but the above mix wouldn't be my inspiration for the bathroom in question.

Thanks for the clarification.

I would embrace the tub and the floor tile. it’s chic now. do white tile on the wall. do a floating mid century vanity with white stone counters and a

pink vessel sink. And pretty brushed brass or brushed nickel fixtures. You want to keep the nod to the period but make it also look fresh and modern.

Also the picture you posted as inspo has nothing in common with the bathroom you are working with. It doesnt even have an alcove tub. Look for inspo in terms of what you are starting with. the pink tubs are lovely, very retro and midcentury cool. see how fresh and gorgeous a pink tub can look.
