Hi all. Has anybody ever experienced the middle leg of a shower base that stands on legs (such as the one in the pic) winding in over time, and therefore getting gradually shorter? If so, could that be because the yellow screw-in foot foot has not been screwed into the floor, so can rotate back...
Hi!
Fitting a new shower and after some research I bought these fast fix brackets online (looked a lot more straight forward than the ones it came with. Crank something???) Anyway, after fitting it, the nuts don’t completely cover up the thread (photo attached). Is this normal? I was cautious...
Hi All,
I have a 2m x 2m bathroom suite which I'd like to completely change out myself. I'd be replacing the bathroom suite for like for like. I'm going to go for something like the following...
We have an Aqualisa Quartz shower that was installed three years ago. Recently, the pressure seems to be lower than it used to be, and you can almost feel it starting to splutter. We descaled the shower head and have also followed advice on the Aqualisa FAQs to run the shower cold and gradually...
Hi guys, new to this forum, was looking for advice regarding a mira flight shower tray i've just installed [diy]. After installing it, and then taking a shower, i noticed that the water was collecting at the edges and not dispersing away after a period of time.
Now this tray was a replacement...
I am trying to make a pressure balancing loop for body jets in a shower. I have limited space so the loop has to be similar to those drawn.
I just need to know which one would work and if both, then which is better.
Thanks in advance :)
Tray is stone cast resin low profile, 1200 by 900. Suspended floor is receiving all new 18mm P5 chipboard floorboards.
There is plenty of talk of replacing floorboards under the tray with marine ply. Is this advice assuming the bathroom still has old style floorboards and that new P5 chipboard...
Hello, I’ve just bought a house in London and have noticed a water mark form on the ceiling of my bathroom after having a shower. It tracks along in the shape of a pipe, starting above my shower cubicle for about 1m in length. It then dries completely undetectable within a couple of hours. The...
I'm installing a new well pump, pressure tank, and toilet in a "shed" (note: local code is 2015 UPC based, and shed is insulated & conditioned) For some specific reasons I need to install a wall-mounted toilet. A "typical" well-performing model with an in-wall tank runs > $1000. There are...
I have recently fitted a thermostatic external mixer shower in my bathroom. The problem is that when it is set to the highest possible temperature its only luke warm at best. The hot water in my house is generated from a combi boiler which should be able to deliver a hot water flowrate of...

Hello there.
I wanted to ask more experienced users if there is any possibility of repairing the leaking tap like on the photo.
The apartment is not mine and my landlord hasn't really wanted to fix it for over a year. The plumber sent by him said that he could not repair it and would have to...
I have a 3 way rough in valve. The first valve has both hot and cold run to it. The second valve controls the shower head and the third valve controls the tub faucet. What is the name of this rough in valve as I’m having a hell of a time finding one. Thanks to all in advance
The tub/shower valve was so tight and hard to turn that I could almost not turn it, so I just replaced the Moen cartridge with an OEM Moen cartridge, and it now works smoothly & easily, with the water going from hot to cold, as it should while being rotated clockwise, but as it approaches the...
Hello all ,
So, very recently had an unvented cylinder put in inplace of the old gravity emersion tank we had, which fed our pumped quartz shower .
We had a new digital processor installed to suit the unvented system but kept the riser rail, showerhead and control unit which we connected to the...
Hi
We recently moved into a property that is about 3yrs old.
Ever since we have used the shower we have had a leak that is showing by the wetness on the carpet in the adjoining room.
Having called in a plumber they have advised the water is coming through a gap where the tap is installed...

Hi!
(Please see the attached terribly technical drawing of my layout!)
I'd like to know how I may route the waste pipe from my vanity.
The waste pipe from the bath runs along the back wall of my bathroom, above the floorboards to an outside exit point (also above floorboard level). The old...
Hi everyone, I managed to snap a tee and an elbow whilst cleaning the pipework connecting the body jets to the valve on a second hand shower tower. These connect to push fit fittings at both the valve and spray jet ends. Can anybody advise on the best way to repair these fittings or where I may...
Hey All.
I have a basic question about installation of a toilet flange..... I'm remodeling a bathroom and I had a plumber remove all the old ductile iron plumbing and replace it with new SCHD. 40 PVC. Everything was done except the installation of the new toilet flange which had to wait until I...
