If no then there is no obligation to have any mechanical extraction to the bathroom, but its a good idea.

it has a round mechanical thingy, but is knacked, so going to replace.

Paint to non tiled walls can be normal emulsion, either matt or satin (also known as eggshell) is preferable as its easier to wipe down. Dulux and Crown offer the best ranges in both materials and colours.

cool I was hoping so,

Most DIY stores will supply correct grade tiling grout for bathroom applications, I'd recommend a two part epoxy resin based compound wich is water impervious and chemical resistant, as well as the mastic sealant for baths and wash hand basins. Also try to 'tool' the mastic and the grount with around backed spatula to get a 'concave' joint which sheds water down the wall or onto the bath or basin edge.

going to pull tye mastic/grout stuff which is joined in the bath/tiles with mastic sealant, antifungal, if I can find some at Homebase.

Floor finishes in bathrooms should be stone or tile, any vinyl or lino will need to be correctly edged and bonded to the sub floor.

what sort of tile am I looking for, you say not cork, what about a carpet type tile ?

Also bear in mind that there are now slip resistances to be respected for bathrooms. Most DIY places will be albe to advise on suitability.

hence the idea of carpet type tiles

Sorry its so long but this is what I do

appreciate it

cheers
