joyousonline 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 blueskies, congrats to your nice and spacious house!! for the bathtub, i saw like a recess area where you put your shampoo and stuff..issit constructed specially using brick and cement and tiled?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blue_skies 3 Report post Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) joyousonline, Thanks! Actually that recess area is the original design of the toilet, and it goes all the way down to the toilet floor. We wanted to make full use of the recess space, so the tilers filled it up with hollow blocks and cement and then laid tiles over the horizontal surface such that it is level with the bath tub. Only the lower shelf is tiled. The upper shelf is laminated wood that I got my carpenter to cut and install. edenstrauss, You wouldn't have dared step into the kitchen or toilet in its original state Edited March 10, 2011 by blue_skies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sit down bath - yup you can sit down on the "step" and bathe, or you can also stand. But standing a bit more messy coz water may splash onto the floor (unless you have a cover to keep the water in). Personally I think sit down baths are good alternative for HDB flat toilets if you really want a bath tub. It's useful if you have young children - can sit them down inside the tub instead of standing. The bath tub also doubles as a wash area for my bigger items (and the dirty water is all kept within the bath tub, plus it's easy to clean, just a bit of cif and a sponge).

I have a hot water tank so yes, I installed bath mixers for the bathtub. But I guess it's up to you. You could use an instant hot water heater with a bathtub too, it's a personal choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue_skies 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) It's been almost 1.5 years since I renovated my home. Everything that I renovated / installed is still good, no leaks from pipes, sinks etc, electrical wiring all good too. Just wanted to thank Ronald for sending someone to help clean my tiles last week because there was some old stain on them that I couldn't get rid of. THANKS Edited July 12, 2012 by blue_skies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xbels 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2013 You can try to take some measurements for your toilet, you'd be surprised that you can fit a small tub inside. My contractor also helped me with squeezing in of the bathtub and organising all the plumbing. I changed the doorway of my common toilet so that the tub could sit in nicely at one corner.Hi blue_skies,Mind sharing your contractor and your Tiler Seng?Im intending to put a bathtub as well! But im not so sure about the floorwaste position.Please email me at sent.with.xoxo@gmail.com.Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
