Here are the finished pictures.. munch fresher, no more leaks and hopefully it will stand up … Continue reading Finally… The Bathroom is now finished.
Bathroom Revamp Planning
My daughter lives in a flat in London, and recently informed me that the bath tap had died a sorry death. So it's my job to fix it as the landlady.
