PROJECT CHALLENGE
Tub Surround and Floor Tile
The floor and tub surround were tiled with Captiva 12” x 24” Sterling tile. In addition the tub surround was accented with mosaic glass tile (Red Stick 5/8” x 5/8”).
After the tile had been installed, a rubber float was used to apply Fusion Pro grout (#386 Oyster Gray) to the seams. This professional grade grout is stain resistant and doesn’t require sealing.

Bathroom Vanity and Top
The doors and drawers on the existing vanity were removed and holes for the new hidden hinges drilled. After the vanity had been primed, the holes left by the old hinges were filled with auto body filler and sanded smooth.
The new cultured marble dual-sink top was installed on the existing vanity with Moen Darcy brushed nickel faucets (model 84551SRN). A Darcy single-handle faucet (model 82550SRN) was installed on the tub.
FINAL RESULT
Toilet Installation
New toilet in remodeled bathroom.
New Optum VorMax toilet.
After the water to the toilet had been turned off, the toilet was flushed to drain the tank and the water in the bowl removed by pouring a bucket of water in the bowl.
Next, the water line was disconnected from the toilet bowl and the flange bolts holding the toilet to the floor removed.
A new Optum VorMax toilet (Model # 707AA101.020) from American Standard, which uses 1.28 gallons of water per flush and has an antimicrobial surface and jet flushing action, was installed in place of the old toilet.
Light Fixture
The new dual, three-bulb, antique nickel light fixtures over the vanity from Quoizel (model TY8603AN) give just the right amount of light in the room.
