Et209 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2011 Doing up the toilets!!Original toilet condition is terrible with cracked tile and holes. So instead, I am getting it painted by my Very reliable handyman. He is actually a painter so this is chicken feed to him.Bought 3 5 gallon epoxy paint; 1 undercoat, 1 cream, 1 dark grey. Along with hardener and brushes. Total cost is $192. Able to paint 2 toilets.This is basecoat primer done. He has also filled holes n scrap off old marks.

prody 1 Report post Posted September 20, 2011 This is the layout. So far I have not seen another similar one in renotalk. Et209,Wow, zero COV for this unit, what a steal! What is the floor area? It looks like an old design, I suspecting a large area despite being 4RM flat. Definitely a good buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Et209 1 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Managed to take some pics today. Same; using my iPhone, sorry I don't have my camera with me:Note the wall tiles used to be white with dirty grout and hairline cracks and some discolored tiles; the floor tiles used to be sky blue. I will try to remember to post name of paint. Edited September 27, 2011 by Et209 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Et209 1 Report post Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Master bathroom part 2:After painting, I m installing a rain shower; since so many of you have one! Heehee. First bought stainless steel piping n brackets n misc stuff; total $80. Piping is $11 per 20 ft. The shops will cut to size for you. Next bought rain shower set n 15l champs heater tank; since only for master. Cost $175. Next rain shower comes with mixer n also tap at the bottom. Neat thing is the tap heat can swirl. Cost only $320!! Onimi model 5519.Handyman Abu fixed up the piping. Then we noticed piping coming from top to mixer are parallel with rain shower; not nice; so we improvised!Installed 2 aluminum boxes beside the 2 pipes, making sure the distance is 30 cm. Then I bought nice tiles and covered up the pipes to create a feature behind the rain shower. This is what we ended up!!Cost of tiles $25 for 3 pcs of 30x60. Aluminum boxes, 6ftx1inchx2inches n stainless steel screws n misc $30. a nice shower feature: priceless!! Edited October 11, 2011 by Et209 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
