Take heart! Here is an even SMALLER bathroom (67" x 43") that was made over to spectacular effect ... Could something along these lines work for you?! Good luck with your project! Ruth Here is a link that might be useful: Small bathroom makeover

> For electrical, it is a "shower". Regardless of the shower water being on or off, because it's a shower, it has to comply with electrical requirements for a shower in a residence. So electrical outlets will be restricted. Switches for the lights and fan can be put outside the room, or you might be able to use air switches inside the room. The wetrooms I've seen usually have the light switch outside the door, but Hubbell makes (or used to make) a switch that was rated for use in showers and wet areas - a push switch completely enclosed in rubber. The last cruise ship I was on had a single-piece molded bathroom module that encompassed the floor, walls, shower, cabinet/shelves, and sink. I think only the toilet was a separate fixture. The whole thing fit in about a 4' square area, or less. The shower did get its own area, about 20" x 24" with a curtain, and a slight ledge in the floor helping keep the water in. I wonder if these could be used for homes as well.

Liz Osborne, if what you are after is a no/minimal grout situation, there are a couple options out there now that are fairly new. 1. is very large format porcelain these things come huge 4x4 I have seen 5 x 10 and they are not cheap but they are beautiful and you can abut the joints for minimal grout. I would still do waterproofing behind cause things can happen. Next 2, I saw there is a place in Miami that is selling a wall paper type product that is installed in showers. I have been to the web site and they have infinite pictures for a feature wall. It is a printed vinyl type. If you are after a wood plank look then I agree with the others that there are some really pretty ones out on the market now that you literally have to touch to see if they are real wood or not.

We are about to refurbish an 18-year-old wetroom as one of the floor tiles has cracked. In order to do so, we were thinking about taking off the bottom row of the wall tiles, tank and retile the floor and fix the wall tiles back in place. The difficulty is that the room has a curved wall on one end, which is where the shower is. Usually, we would tape the bottom corner before using a tanking solution but the tape does not go along the inside radius without being cut or folded which is not good from a waterproofing point of view. Does anyone have some experience with curved wetroom walls? Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
