Hi all,
I'm planning a bathroom refurb for my customer.
He has stud walls, which already have tiles on the plasterboard. New tiles are planned. I'm just pondering the best way forwards:
1. Do I remove the tiles (and the plasterboard with it) and put up new boarding (I like using 12mm cement...
I have a recurring bad smell whenever I use the bath or shower. It's not all the time it takes time to build up and then when you get home from work you can smell it when you open the front door. It doesn't smell like farts, it smells like some sort of chemical and spreads through the flat.
Hi All
I am after a bit of advice, I am installing a wetroom in my house which is a bungalow. The vent pipe comes up through the concrete floor and up through the roof right next to the toilet pipe which is the same branch of drainage pipe.
Now the toilet long radius bend is about 500mm to...
Hi, the pop up plug system has broken and needs replacing. I would like to replace the whole lot. My issue is trying to remove the waste drain cover from the bath isn't what I'm expecting. There is no screw holding the trap to the plug section in the bath. As the bath is fiberglass, I don't want...
A few years ago I had to replace my old, 1960's downstairs loo as it had a crack in it. I was told that, because the waste pipe went down into a hole in the concrete floor and because of the distance of that hole from the back wall (20cm), I'd need a loo with a concealed cistern in a large...
Morning,
I have this old shower head in a newly acquired house, and am trying to find a replacement shower head. Doesn't need to be the same design, but just trying to make sure the connector is the same as a new one.
I found an identical head online:
But in one question the answer is its 7/8"...
I planning on fitting a shower pump and shower valve diverter on my shower room refurb.
I have a gravity fed system (CW from a loft tank and HW from the cylinder)
Previously had an aqualisa digital.
Have done a bit of research and looked on the stuart turner app for different pump selections...
With a thermostatic mixer showers, can you replace
the unit, in a mains pressure unvented system boiler
configuration, by just turning the cold mains off
at the stopcock when the water supply enters the
property? Will the hot and cold water stop flowing
if you turn the mains water off?
Hi, I am by no means a plumber, however I am trying to fit a new Bathroom sink. As I don't know the correct terminology I have attached a couple of pictures to try and help explain it. I have attached an elbow stop pipe piece to a copper pipe and have no problems with this. However I have...
I need to replace an old Sirrus 1850 shower mixer valve with a more uptodate mixer bar.
Problem is that the hot feed is on the right and the mixer bars I've seen ask for the hot feed to be on the left.
Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
I had a Sololift2 D-2 installed to move wastewater from a sink and shower. It was installed under a cabinet and whenever it is used there is a smell which comes from the pump. I notice it has a venting valve which just vents into the cabinet. I am considering hooking the venting valve to a pipe...
Hello
I recently had a new cylinder install. The temperature at the basin sinks is between 56-58C and is far too hot to use.
Is there a legal maximum that is applicable for domestic properties? What should the temperature be for basin sinks? Thanks.
My plumber have installed the Grohe Grohtherm Smart Control system in my shower (actually, 2 systems in 2 showers).
After ruling out other possibilities, I came to the conclusion that using this system causes the hot water in the water tank to run out too quickly (the hot water runs out after...
Anyone involved in tiling a bathroom won't go far wrong using this adhesive , it's easy to mix with the power mixer, stays useable in the bucket a good six hours , its a little grainy so you need to work cleanly but has great flexibility adheres well to the tile and wall and is really easy to...
Hi all,
I have a gravity fed system but am getting low pressure in the shower. Taking the shower mixer off and then letting the water run shows excellent pressure going into the mixer. Assuming the mixer was faulty I purchased the same one and installed it only to have weak pressure again. I’m...

Hi,
My aunt asked me to have a look at her Geberit cistern which recently has suddenly stopped flushing on the short flush button. Long flush works normally as far as I can tell.
This is the flush mechanism (the label suggests PN 7074-98) , please excuse the mess:
Took the whole thing...
I have a pump in the hot press which drives 2 showers in a non pressurized system. For 15 years we've used the bathroom shower without any issues and lately we've just got the ensuite up and running. Problem is the ensuite shower water starts hot and then goes Luke warm when it is running on...
Hi, can anyone recommend a replacement electric shower for a non working Creda 950DL. I need a replacement that has the same inlet positionon and wiring point.
My hot water supply from our Altherma unit is fine but our shower is almost cold.
Is it possible that the filter on the hot water inlet he's become blocked - they do recommend cleaning every 12 months and our has been there for five years.
I have found an instruction to do this HERE but cannot...
