Get a room you two !!

Go for brushed stainless or alu? Also watch that the tiles don't get chipped on those exposed edges in the meantime.

Won't that get hit by mops and hoovers?

White PVC angle on the floor? Would last about a day, ( and that's if nobody was in ).

Try getting a couple of these and mitre the corners. Set them into rapid set adhesive and allow to part cure. Before fully set, scrape the excess shoulder of adhesive from the inside edge and then grout to the tiles. Pour self leveller in to the required depth for the mat, so it's ~3mm proud, and enjoy ??
-
Are you tiling the floor first? Hope so. This was in my mates brand new Persimmon home. 13 bags of self leveller needed over a new liquid screed.....WTF. And the cloakroom. Stick the skirting tiles on with slow set powder tile adhesive. Use a straight edge to keep them as straight as possible, and a boat level to keep them vertical. Put insulation tape on the top edge of the tile as masking, and to stop your filler knife marking the tile, and use a hard filler to put a 90o edge between the tile and the wall. When you come to plaster, you'll then have a slight gap 3-5mm at accept the skim without encroaching on the top edge of the tile. Fwiw, tiled skirting all the way for me. ?

It's only down to man management. A gang of guys, instructed and choreographed accordingly can do some amazing things. Ive put some bloody big steels in without anything other than a bunch of scared guys and my leadership. And they flew in. The Egyptians managed..... -

Get me some ratchet straps, some RedBull and some running shoes. I'll have it in before nightfall. -
There's a lot more work with a wetroom, but it's easily doable and is a very nice solution. I bought my last 1800x850 Wetroom former from Diamond. Very good tray and went in without a hitch. I'd fit a different trap to the one that came with it tbh so I know for the next job to ask for it to be discounted accordingly. Low profile trays are quick, easy and negate tiling. Cheaper too if money's stretched so maybe one with a tray and one as a Wetroom
-
This is an infold door, just two of them. If you zoom in on the tray edge you'll see a chrome threshold that I butted up to the raised floor tile. That is about as frameless as you can get without having a Wetroom. Those doors came with the receiver that would have gone opposite so it could be fitted in an alcove. They got ditched and the square magnetic strips got switched out to ones which were at 45o. Both got supplied as it's an universal setup eg it could have also gone against a fixed glass side panel .

HOW MUCH ?!? Ill be up tomorrow to fit it. I can have a month off then. -
+1. Your areas are not large enough to go 'walk-in' IMHO.

The ensuite / bedroom door could do with being swung away from the shower, agree with AliG on that point. Couple of things to consider. Bifold ( or infold for the posh ones ) with for the 800mm one as hinged will have to open out wards, or hinged if your happy you have the space for it to swing open. The nicer infolds have a very low profile threshold, often just a chrome over brass strip which affixes to the tray to act as a drip deflector, so have a look at a few before you dismiss that option. A small fixed panel, say 500mm, and a 700mm hinged door for the 1200mm one. You'll need some sort of stay bar which will secure the open end of the fixed panel, particularly if the door is swung off that instead of the wall. Both options are available. Another thing to try having the spray aimed at a fixed panel or wall space and not directly at the doors.

With most ASHP's heating Ufh in a slab / screed, I doubt if you'd ever notice the absence of it's input whilst briefly topping up / heating dhw tbh. The entire fabric of the property wil have warmed through too, so it's not just the slab that would be retaining / regulating heat.
-
Pivot doors are the work of the devil, write those off straight away please My choice would be frameless & hinged if that arrangement works for both of your instances. I've fitted a LOT of various and differing shower cubicles / arrangements over the last two decades and the more expensive, frameless stuff is in a league of it's own. 8mm glass would be preferable for the bigger setup, but 6mm for the 800mm would be more than adequate. Can you post plans of the rooms and layouts etc so I can see how to best advise. ?

Using an uncoupling membrane is basically a way of floating a tiled floor over the substrate. It's commonly used for display tiling etc and temporary installs.

Yup. The little ones my mates use for charging the RC cars on the rally cross days out. This kind of thing . -

Small 'pocket' super silent generator? Can also be used for other tasks / charging so universal if the horse isn't phased by the slight noise of its running?
