The Knowledge of Buthtub

Drain kits come with all of the plumbing and hardware you need in order to put it together. Tip: Dry-fit the L-shaped pipes to your drains first and measure the length between them to determine how much pipe you need in order to connect the drains together. Make your measurements twice to make sure they’re precise before cutting the pipe.


Use a sealant on the drains and pipes to secure the joints in place. ABS glue is a liquid plastic that seals your pipes together. Paint a layer of this glue on the inside and outside of the pipes where they attach on your drain show. Hold the pipes together for 90 seconds until they have time to set. Continue gluing all of the joints together until they are completely set.


Use a clear sealant around the outer edge of the drain inside your tub and hold it in place to seal it. Sealant and ABS glue can be purchased at your local hardware store. Cover the exposed studs and flange with drywall or cement backerboard. Cut the pieces of drywall to the sizes of your gaps with a reciprocating saw.


Hold the piece of drywall or backerboard against the studs so it covers the flange and there’s a 1⁄4 in (0.64 cm) gap between the board and the tub. Use nails to secure the boards in place. Drywall or backerboard can be purchased from your local hardware store. Don’t forget to install new drywall on the access panel you cut out from the other room.


Replace the surround. If you’re using tiles, mix tile mortar in a bucket based on the instructions on the packaging. Stir the mortar with a flat trowel and spread it on the drywall. Press the tiles onto the backerboard and hold it in place for 30 seconds. Use tiles that match the existing ones in your bathroom. Otherwise, you’ll have to retile the entire wall.

Make a DIY shell mirror. Many people collect shells from their travels, but don’t know how to incorporate them into their decor. An excellent way to do this is by framing a mirror with shells. Purchase a mirror with a wooden frame. Then, using super glue, attach a variety of shells to the frame. Cover the entire frame with shells. Mix and match a variety of different types of shells to provide more texture and colour. You can also use shells that you have purchased from a store.

Use tiles to create an aquatic shower. Design an aquatic shower by using blue tiles. This will give the appearance of showering in the ocean. For example, you could use marble with a blue hue to give an underwater feel. Alternatively, you could use blue and green subway tiles or mosaic tiles to create an ocean feel. You may want to avoid using themed tiles or tiles with pictures on them. These are expensive to change out once you get sick of them or they become dated.

Install a boat tub. It is also possible to design a bathtub that looks like a wooden boat. This is a great beach themed embellishment that will give your bathroom design a unique, yet sophisticated look. You may need to work with a designer to create a custom boat tub.

Consider a shell-shaped sink. You can accentuate the beach theme of the bathroom by installing a shell-shaped sink. Purchase a vessel style sink that sits on the countertop. You can find vessel sinks that are designed to look like a seashell. Search for a shell-shaped sink at your local home improvement store. Provide natural light. One of the reasons people love the beach is because of the warm sunshine. Take that into consideration when designing a beach themed bathroom. Provide natural lighting with windows. You can cover them with shutters to allow for privacy.

If your bathroom faces the ocean, incorporate large windows so that you can easily see and hear the beach. If you don’t have a lot of natural light in your bathroom, add string lights or pendant lights over your sink to create a bright glow.
