A friend of mine is a maker and installer of stone panelling to kitchens, bathrooms etc. I won't call him a mason but he does work with stone. He produces some amazing stuff. Talking with him last week. He had recently supplied the stone for a 28 sq.m. bathroom. Floors, walls and ceiling totally clad. He showed me some photos. The bog installed is one of these:
The bath cost ?34k, the two basins ?7k each (exc taps & fittings). Cost of bathroom refurb- slightly S of ?300k. This same room was last refurbed less than two years ago at a cost of ?1/4M.
Damned lunacy in my opinion. Talk about flushing money down the pan!
