Need to fix the reason for the mould not just paint it!

Problem can only get worse as it has

It needs completely ripping out but I'll have no where to **** for a week while it's done.

You realise that you posted this in the one place where that isn't true?

This is OCUK, you have neighbours, they probably have letterboxes. Let the letterboxing commence!

It's OK for the build logs on here where folk have multiple bathrooms and en-suites so they can take time refurbishing one. Plus I don't feel comfortable ******** at work every day.

Leave the toilet bowl till last, flush with a bucket, strip everything else out, get everything ready, then take old toilet bowl out, last out,first back in.

I'd rather **** in a bucket for a week than risk my health with that mould!

I had my only bathroom renovated and the plumber just replumbed the toilet in each evening (after i came back from work and he finished ) . Wasnt an issue and this is done regularly

Cheap camping toilet .... job done.

wow and here I am thinking my bathroom looks bad because some areas have a few weeks of dust and I need new sealant around the tub, current one looks like its been there a decade at the least.

black mould is horrible no way I could live with that, bleach the walls every week if I had too.

even if someone is renting it would be no excuse for letting the place become dilapidated

You don’t feel comfortable ******** at work every day but you are comfortable ******** in a mold infested bathroom :confused:

Yeah I'm amazed you'd even want to bathe/shower in there.

IvanDobskey · 4 Nov 2020 at 18:22

That bathroom looks pretty damn minging :eek:

Reckon you'd come out dirtier than you went in

You need to remove all the plasterboard, get the roof fixed, clean off the growth, and allow it all to dry out a bit. then you can consider renewing the ceiling. I am afraid it's all going to cost a lot.

LeeUK · 5 Nov 2020 at 17:48

Going to get some one in next week to have a look, basically want all ceiling down and renewed and all walls pulled back and re-plastered.

Stayed in a mates house (lived at home) once who had a shower but no tiles on the wall. The wall was literally sodden, mouldy and coming away from the wall behind. No idea who people let these things happen - must have been like that for years

A spot of mould in my place and the missis has got a new bathroom planned

It's only been 4 years. Why not wait another 6?

No point really, you're selling up in 2017:

LeeUK said:
Yeah well can't afford to pull down whole extension and rebuild. I'm selling up next year anyway.

LeeUK · 6 Dec 2020 at 21:44

Really need to get trades in to re plaster whole room out and fit new suite but I'm embarrassed to show any one in.

You just have to get good at lying.

You recently bought this house from and look at the state of the bathroom, how could someone let it get so bad etc?
