Thanks for the input, so it’s definitely better to render bathroom walls. Sorry I didn’t understand this part ‘How will go for bathroom fixtures?

Hi Alex, thanks for the reply. Is this silicon render? Does it last longer than acrylic render? And what about the cost compared with acrylic render?
Many thanks,

Not a problem at all. I’m at bunnies looking at the colour cards again. So do you remember if it was lexicon or tranquil retreat?

Lexicon is definitely a lot whiter than tranquil retreat, didn’t you say it was tranquil retreat in your previous post?

That’s what I have thought of and would like to avoid, too. So any recommendations of a good inspector, who can follow up the rectification?

That’s a very good point, keepers01. Any recommendations of a good third party inspection service, who will follow up the defects/rectification?
