Was wondering if anyone could help please.
I've got an Aqualisa Lumi 10.5kw shower at home and it's no longer producing hot water. I've had it 4 years and it's now started doing this. Just wondered if anyone had any experience of this shower and how to fix the issue? Warranty ran out after 3...
Hi. Hoping to get some help finding a better alternative to a Twisto 90mm shower waste that I’ve damaged while trying (foolishly) to clean. The model I have attaches with a round (rather than square) and has a square 135mm grate. Grey ring and seal look damaged, really hoping I don’t need to...
Hi I'm fitting a shower tray and am just having a bit of trouble with the waste. I've included some pics. I understand I've made it with little room for maneuverability which I think is my problem.
Anyway any tips appreciated. I cannot change the tray or change it's orientation.
Hi all. Can someone recommend a good shower mixer please?
It will be fed from a Baxi 105e instant that is less than a meter from the mixer and from a water softener down stairs.
The current mixer is playing about a bit. Just a minute turn of the tap in either direction changed the temperature to...
Hi folks,
Purchased E1486AA Ideal Standard Luxury pop up bath waste and overflow as recommended to fit Ideal Standard Tempo Arc straight bath 1700 x 700.
Website advises it will fit both a 52mm and 44mm overflow hole but the chrome spacer is 52mm and as such won't fit through the 44mm hole to...
Hi all. We’re renovating a bathroom and have found the new bath tub drain needs to be closer to the wall than the current drain is. Tub drain fits left to right but the new drain is about two inches closer to the wall than the old tub. Have attached pic of the current drain. Looking for...
I’ve just come across the matter of ‘water seal’, which i’d previously never heard of. I’m currently in the process of fitting a new shower and so I’m not sure whether I have an issue here or not.
You will see from the attached picture that the trap pipework feeds into an internal soil pipe and...
I am really struggling with how to do the waste pipework from a shower tray and would appreciate any advice on the best approach to take.
The tray will be sitting in a three sided recess which really complicates things. A further complication is that the soil pipe is very close by and so there...
Hi Guys,
Seeking advice. I have a Triton Combi HP (8000/9000) mixer shower, which is giving thermostatic and cross flow issues. I can confirm cold back flowing into hot, because the hot feed is ice cold. I have 3 of these identical showers, and the hots are much warmer than the colds on the...
I have an Aqualisa Colt shower, the on off end end part has come off and the shower will not turn off… water is gushing out and the only way to stop is to turn off the water for the whole house… really appreciate any DIY fixes please, so I can use the water, heating (combi boiler) until plumbers...
Hi everyone!
Hoping you can help me out. I live in a modern block of flats in London and my shower gurgles from time to time and it really bothers me. I’ve had 5+ plumbers in to help me check and some have told me there’s blockage in the main stack pipe, which has been cleaned, jetwashed.
My...
HI
Does anyone have any recommendations for the most powerful enclosed cistern. I have installed a WC unit with a cistern that has a cable flush cistern. It does flush, but might take 2 flushes to get rid of all the waste and often the water only washes down the front of the WC pan , not all...
Hi, Diyer here looking for some experienced opinions… I have a 3 walled alcove which I can get a 1200mm shower tray in. Is it realistic to go for a static screen with possibly a 300mm hinged return addition. Or is that just too small and will I end up with water all over outside the shower...
So my wife sent me a video of our bathroom. When she turns on the sink faucet water comes out the tub faucet also. Currently the sink does not have a hot line going to it due to addition of a 2nd bathroom and future remodel plans for this bathroom. Also, writing from memory so could be wrong...
Hi,
I had some taps changed last year and it turns out one had a very slow leak. It caused quite a lot of damage and the company that fitted them are trying to not accept liability.
The report from the engineer says ''IV to hot tap 3rd floor bathroom leaking, replaced olive, all dry and...
So I purchased a second hand Neptune Jetted tub (that has not been used before) and I just want to confirm if this is one of those old style tubs that has a problem with all the water not draining out of the pipes or not. I believe the old style used flex pipes which sagged over time leading to...
Who makes this plastic valve handle with the octagon fitting on the back?
Where can I purchase it? I need to purchase only this valve handle.
I have looked around and so far cannot find it.
Please let me know. Thank you.
Hello - I have a loose toilet seat but no obvious ways to tighten it. I have looked all over the Internet and I have tried various things that have been recommended.
I have looked for buttons to release it, I've tried lifting the metal caps to try rotate them, I've tried removing the little...
In the middle of renovating my en suite and need a little advice to make sure my thoughts in terms of how to terminate the waste from toilet, shower and sink all makes sense. The image 8s a bit crap but hope it makes sense.
Soil stack is already in position with the air filter at the top. This...
Hi all, Early on this year I had my electric shower removed and replaced with an Aqualisa shower and tray, which now runs of my combi boiler. As a precautionary measure to avoid possible future blockages, I lift out the removable parts of the trap every week, to remove hair that the trap is...
