We have a startling pink-tiled bathroom, with a gorgeous original sink and large claw-foot bath. Unfortunately the bath has been tiled in very securely with concrete (a much favoured material used in the construction of this house). There was also a bidet - but no toilet. That was at the other end of the house so not the most practical arrangement! A pink carpet was on the floor and most definately past its best. One of the first things we did was to rip the carpet up and discovered a beautifully tiled floor in very good condition which we were thrilled about. A bit of elbow grease was needed to rid the tiles of the carpet underlay residue, but it is now lovely. We also had the bidet removed and replaced by a toilet, with a great view over the neighbour's swimming pool! A shower attached the the wall over the bath and a glass screen and voilà, we have a fully functional bathroom.
