Screenshot of the render, please?

btw - why do you have refraction layer to material with 100% reflective surface?
Refraction layers is of no use unless your diffuse and reflection layer is transparent.

The reflective surface over the sinks?
I don't see any particular unusual here.

Ah - I didn't realize they where mirrors at first. Thought it was white wall.
hm... I'm not sure what's going on to be honest. Not seen that before...
