Bathrooms & Wet Rooms

14 selected projects on the Island

The argument for plaster in a bathroom is one word: seamless. The finish runs straight up the walls and round the shower tray without a tile edge, a grout line or a strip of sealant anywhere in it. There is nothing to discolour, nothing to scrub and nothing to fail.

It has to be built for the water, and that is a specification rather than a preference. In a wet room we start from the canvas out — backer board, moisture-resistant lining, a floor former with the fall built into it — and finish in MicroCement, walls, floor, shower bench and vanity top in one continuous surface. In a Marmorino bathroom the shower area gets its own treatment: clear breathable sealer, or a waterproof wax over the plaster.

Crystal Quartz is the other one that suits a shower room, being natural stone and very hard wearing. And as in a kitchen, none of this needs the old tiles off — we have refinished a whole bathroom, walls, floor and ceiling, without a single tile coming down.
