I managed to get the broken shower waste body out of the trap. I'm about to fit a new waste, a much more robust brass item.
The trap has a big rubber gasket designed to sit flush against the underside of the shower tray.
Is it a good idea for me to fit a rubber gasket between the flange on...
My shower had previously been repaired really badly before I moved in. The plastic retaining collar on the waste had broken off. Instead of repairing it properly and replacing the waste with a new one, someone used bathroom sealant to hold the trap in place and just plonked the broken collar on...

Hi all
I'm a female plumber, so don't much encounter a urinal (especially as I usually only do domestic work).
I've been sent pics of something that has broken in a urinal - it's the flush valve. As I gather, the urinal cistern fills up gradually, and flushes through every so often.

Hi all,
Shower was installed 3 years ago when I bought this place. A combination of below average workmanship and poor tiles (didn't get same batch numbers) has left me disappointed with the ensuite.
Ideally, I'd get it re-tiled, but I fear this will be very expensive, and possibly mean I'd...

I have discovered that the flexible connector from the WC pan to the soil pipe does not have all the "fins" pushed in and is weeping - that's easy to fix - but I'm wondering if I can address another issue at the same time while I have all the cabinetry off.
There does not appear to be any...
