Builder messed up my tiling

[Lopéz]

Because some people don't have bathrooms the size of a postage stamp?

Sinks mounted in cupboards are typically rubbish, 9/10 you end up getting water all over the place because you can't get as close to the sink.

I have a cupboard mounted sink and water doesn't go anywhere except in the sink?

A bit like this:

It's got nothing to do with room size. It's just not necessary nowadays and makes cleaning the floor harder. If that doesn't bother you then fine

OcUk where you can debate relatively minor things in great detail

We recently had our bathroom completely re-done. I originally thought I'd have fallen right into the 'no pedestal' camp, but having looked at all the other options we've ended up with a pedestal!

Aesthetically, it just seemed to work best for our room.

Can't say I gave much thought to any cleaning overhead - but I'm sure we'll cope with an additional 30 seconds cleaning time.

LOL, but what is worse, the extra 10 milliseconds it takes to clean the floor, or the fact your 1% more likely to hit your head on a non pedestal sink?

No idea why people even buy pedestals any more. They simply waste floor space

So going back a little, what else is the 30 cm2 'floor' space used for then?

I find it ideal for storing that pedestal shaped bit of ceramic which was otherwise just lying about the house.

I did think of putting the hoover there for a while, but unfortunately it didn't quite fit underneath the sink

bog rolls?

but seriously in our bathroom downstairs we have a cabinet under the sink and it stores toiletries, cleaners and towels. If you have a wall that can take the weight or prefer the designs of non pedestal sinks then the cabinet space is useful.

A better picture showing perspective of the situation

Ah I see now, those funny tiles are just a feature thing, gotcha.
I haven't seen that done before.

Actually that might have looked neater with a wall mounted sink?

A 2 stone 2 year old swinging off it is a good reason

That sink does not look level, could be the angle of the picture.

Love the look of the feature tiling though. Looks great

Now has been rectified by a builder who ironically worked on the builds in Cowboy builders.

The whole industry is one big botch job tbh, no wonder the Poles want a slice of the pie
