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...

Hi, I have recently bought a house where there is a constant drains smell in the downstairs wet room. I suspect that the trap is not sealing but I can't find how to seal this particular trap. I wonder if there is something missing that would seal it. The trap and drains are clear. Any help would...
We bought a Calypso Brenta vanity unit with basin. The basin came without any waste, and with just a hole for the overflow (no integrated channel). We ordered a brushed brass pop up plug for it, to match the rest of the bathroom (including the basin tap). Now we're stuck as we're completely...
I have a hot and cold pump for my shower. The shower is a Hansgrohe thermostatic mixer valve. When I turn on the shower the pump isn't triggered to turn on and the water dribbles from the shower head. However, If I turn the temp. dial on the shower mixer to cold, and the shower power to max, the...
Hi,
New person here looking for some advice. Was wondering if someone could advise me if a elbow wall shower bit connected to a hose seperate shower head can be changed to a all in one hand shower (for example Mondella WELS 3 Star 9L/Min Chrome Concerto Function Hand Shower Sets)?

About two months back, I cleaned my shower drain like this in the video:
Unfortunately, when I removed the siphon, the left out water (about 1 litre) around the area started draining. For...
I would really like some advice about a problem with a hot water issue. I am a registered plumber and fitted all the heating pipes and hot and cold water pipework for my sisters house back in 2012. I also fitted a Megaflow unvented heating cylinder. Everything has worked really well until last...

I've just had my dripping thermostatic bath/shower mixer tap replaced, which was fab for the first few days. However, it is now taking ages for the hot water pump to kick in when using the bath or shower for the first time. This...
Hello all
I'm trying to remove the thermostat cartridge on my concealed unit to service or replace it. The unit is a Triton. I believe it is a Triton Mersey but cannot be sure. The cartridge won't pull out despite considerable force, nor will the nut shaped part of the bit behind it budge. Does...
A friend had a new shower fitted along with a pump but they find it too powerful for them as the person that uses it is in his 80's and it actually hurts him what with his skin being very thin.
Its a Aqualisa ipx4 and I wondered if anyone can tell me if the flow rate could be reduced?
Flexible Waterproof Upstand Bath/Shower Seals -What's the best Classi-Seal, Sealux AquaStrap, MX Flexi-Seal Strip?
They all look to do the job, although the adhesive part of MX Flexi-Seal Strip looks smaller........... Any thoughts, ease of use, what have others used?
Eleven days ago, I noticed that my toilet gurgled a bit when a fellow tenant in a nearby apartment seemed to flush their toilet. When I flushed urine down the toilet that same morning , it backed up. Thinking that it was an average clog (as fecal matter and toilet paper was flushed the night...
Evening chaps, I'm having a bit of a mare with a pumped shower I fitted a few months back. The customer had an existing gravity shower fitted & wanted a pump fitting. I put an RP75PT in the loft on the original pipework, a Surry flange on the cylinder and AAVs on the positive side of the pump...

Hello
I bought a Grohe two hole tap like this one to install in a cloakroom, and got this concealed mixer for the tap. While all the pictures online show the tap on the right, the Grohe website clearly states the tap can be placed on the right or left. Due to space limitations, we need to have...
