Working on an install where a wall hung black pan is the preferred choice.

In my 30 years in this game I have never fitted one. The old dear says "ooooh - I wouldnt want one of them - will show up every mark!" To which I replied: "its a bog - you dont eat your dinner on it!" :devilish:

Anyone installed black sanitary ware or used one?
 
I know someone who had a black bathroom suite, and it did show up every mark.

Brand spanking new it looked impressive, but the basin and bath needed cleaning and polishing up every time it was used.
 
Albert -"I'm not getting into a black bath!"

Harold - "why not? It will suit the colour of the water"

Classic Steptoe, shame I can't find that clip on Youtube. :disappointed:
 
Highly entertaining responses - well appreciated - needed the laugh.

But WHB's and Baths aside - what about the closets only.

A black WC and a black WC seat - murder to keep clean just like the others in the suite?
 
Probably less so than bath and basin, but more work to keep looking good than most other colours.

If it's a hard water area, even worse re the pan.
 
I came across a customer with a chocolate brown bathroom suite. Impossible to tell if the loo is dirty as skid marks don't show up.:speechless:

Seen a chocco brown one as well, real throwback. Give me white anyday.
 
Last year I fitted a completely black bathroom with black wall panels, black ceiling panels and black sanitary ware. Looked like a funeral parlour as far as I was concerned, but that was what she wanted. Even 8 spots in the ceiling didn't provide sufficient light.

Black toilets and basins scratch very easily and this shows very prominently. Black walls are a dust magnet. Install at your peril! LOL
 
Would only be a black WC - the ceiling will be black gloss sparkle panels with stars (go figure - I remember you only used to go to the bog for a dump) :)
 
Back in the late 70's and through most of the 80's you hardly ever sold any white sanitary ware to customers. It used to be almost any other colour of the rainbow but nowadays it is almost impossible to find any colour other than white.

There's a company online who refurb all those horrible coloured suites and re-sell them. Remember Avacado and Canary Yellow? LOL
 
Black WC is okay for a Bachelor who sups lots of guinness,and who dont have a bog brush..

I still have a few pics on a disc somewhere, I'll look them out and post them up. Had to use a flash as the room was like a burial crypt.

I fitted a black wall hung pan and black basin and black shower tray all walls and floor was quartz with mirror chips must admit it looked very good indeed
 
Weirdest one was drilling into a pan and fitting blue LED's. Her rse shone blue when she went for a dump.

We wonder sometimes why we bother designing a bathroom for these types don't we?! LOL

Suppose it's everyone to their own and it's their money that's being spent.
 
Oh I forgot about the students flat in Glasgow. In the middle of the living room floor, they had a "feature". It was a toilet pan with flowers growing out of it.
 
Lol you sure they was flowers

My joiner had a weird job to do in Harrogate a couple of years back - was asked by a middle aged couple to convert their basement into a dungeon complete with chains and manacles etc.

Heh heh. Talk about off topic - but I enjoyed the responses.

Re lights in the bog - this is a nice idea:

But having them shine up yir jacksie? - seems like a bit of wasted effort unless your in the pan looking up. :001_9898:
