Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jun 30, 2011 12:42 pm I have a very old school bathroom which includes a half metre high tiled partition at the end of the shower/bath. I am looking to renovate with new shower, tiles, vanity. I have never organised a rennovation for anything and I have no idea where to start. I have a budget of around $8k, is this realistic as this wont be a DIY job?
