Robby and Mat's Main Bathroom
House 5 best mates Robby and Mat had two goals for Bathroom Week: "present a room and survive the week".
Thankfully, they were able to tick both off!

The boys survived an unexpected leak to be the first team to both waterproof and tile, and their time management skills continued as they finished without any last minute panic.
"We've signed, sealed, delivered a room, and I'm absolutely stoked with it. Good work, mate, I'm proud of you," Mat reflected.
"Thanks mate, I'm a shell of a human, but we got it done," Robby replied.
Scroll through to see what judges Shaynna Blaze, Darren Palmer and Marty Fox thought of Robby and Mat's first room on The Block 2025.
House 5 spent $25,394 on their bathroom in Week 1, over the advised $20k budget and the most of any team.
We all saw how many bags of towels Mat walked away from Freedom with – he may need to reign things in a bit on his next shopping trip!
The judges immediate reactions upon opening the door are always very telling, and Mat and Robby were stoked that the first words out of Marty's mouth were "wow, very well finished".
A sign of things to come!
Darren's first instinct was the praise their paint choice.
"It's like a soft foamy latte top," he said.
"It is like a warm, beautiful, creamy brown neutral."
After touring the other four houses, there was one simple inclusion in Robby and Mat's bathroom that earned them a round of applause...
Yep, vertical towel rails!
In the other rooms, Shaynna especially had been very frustrated by the use of vertical rails.
"Let's have a round of applause for that," Scott Cam said as he read out the feedback.
Darren deemed this "the Goldilocks room".
"This is everything that we've seen that worked in other rooms, working extremely well altogether," he explained.
"I think the boys have got a really sweet spot."
The towel rails weren't the only thing earning the boys claps.
As Darren naturally leaned on their vanity while surveying the room, Shaynna pointed out that this showed they had placed it at the right height – something she hadn't been able to say in their rivals' rooms.
"That's a big tick!" she said.
"I think we should give a round of applause for that too," Scotty said.
The judges thought the vanity was the perfect ergnomic choice... and it looks great too!
The judges thought the dark walnut worked "perfectly".
Look at all that storage space!
