hi All, hope you are all having a nice easter break.
i have a tiling and decorating question:
i am tiling the border edge of my shower tray, so this is where the tile meets the shower tray edge. i've noticed that for some reason my shower tray bows slightly in the middle, so not perfectly...
I wanted some advice and recommendations to attach an overhead shower or an handheld shower (basically a shower with which I can shower in the bathtub) that I can attach to the tap of the bathtub. I have attached pictures of the bathtub tap so you can see what I mean and advice accordingly. I...
Hello,
I’m trying to replace an antique high level cistern with a more modern ceramic one. The flush pipe is routed in a very specific way so the new one will probably need to be bespoke.
Does anyone have any experience, or at least seen, bespoke flush pipes? I was hoping they could be made...
Help!
I'm about to retile the shower area but I can't take off the handles or wall plate, unlike the two other Grohe mixers in my house there are no removable cap heads and there are no concealed screws. I am wondering if the shower handles just pull off (I've tried with a reasonable pressure...
Hello,
I have water coming through the grouting between the bathroom tiles and the floor tiles. It flows at about 1 cupful every 2 hours. It is a small area of around 20cm. It is at the base of the boxed area of a common pipe that runs down the side of our 20 storey block of flats. We are on...
HI i am trying to identify a new shower trap that was installed and the pot was not put in, if anyone can identify it. i can order new one or I could get one 3d printed. i will attach a pic thanks john
Hi I have a Alterna Ortona shower that developed a drip that was getting worse over time.
I did some online research and the advice was to replace the thermostatic cartridge. I purchased what I believe is the correct cartridge (a Bristan 00622415) and did the replacement OK. However when I...
hi all

Hi, I have an electric shower above my bath in my flat. I want to replace it with a shower that runs of hot water from my gas combo shower. I was hoping to run two pipes from the feed pipes to my bath, however when I removed the bath panel and had a look I see that the piping is what looks like...
Has anyone seen this type of mould before? It's dark reddish/brown and seems to be seeping through the concrete and the skirtboards. Its predominantly in the bathrooms but has started to appear coming from the carpet after it rains heavily.
Have a one handle shower pouring water from handle, probably vintage 1964 or 1965. Tile enclosure, built up over what appears to be industrial-strength chicken wire covered in plaster. No way to turn water off, except at the main, so wondering what or even if there's a time-efficient way to...
I was wondering if anyone would know if this Tavistock wall hung pan would be compatible with this Geberit concealed cistern . I know they are from different manufacturers but I was hoping that the fixing and pipe centres would be standard. The fixing bolts appear to be right spacing. The waste...
Got what is probably a simple issue if you know how.... getting as far as the ceramic cartridges so I can get them out, measure, and hope they are still a currently available size and if not see if I can dissolve out any. I'd just change the tap but would involve removing tiling, cupboards that...
Hello, I am trying to replace the cartridge but I can not see where is the grub screw, please find the picture and kindly advise how I can remove the cartridge. Regards
I’m about to install a stone resin shower tray, the tray (RAK Feeling) comes with a warning not to use cement for setting on and instead recommends silicone or PU foam. A few questions;
Has anyone fitting this or a similar tray with PU foam? Or is best to use silicone? Which PU foam or silicone…...
Hi
To all experienced wetroom specialists out there....
I keep getting asked to install wetrooms so just want to know how you guys are doing them....
I get the install process.... using wetboards on the wall and floor and taping up the joints etc...
The thing a cant get my head around is...
Hi folks.
Are there any other solutions to stopping a door handle from hitting the shower glass other than a door stop and swinging the door the other side? If I use a door stop on the floor it would be near to were the shower entrance is. Any good suggestions welcome. Cheers
Due to the cramped space that I have for installing a shower tray and the required positioning of the trap to be at the front left, I am severely limited on my options. I would really have preferred an Anti-Slip Shower Tray, but struggling to find one that meets my requirements.
There are very...
Our 8 year old ensuite shower is giving very inconsistent temperature output! we don't know the make or model so I'm wondering whether to bite the bullet and buy a "branded" replacement. The centres are 150mm - photo below (apologies for the angle but the only way to get the existing unit in 1...
Hello,
I need to replace a broken shower/tub diverter push button. Do I need to shut off the water to the house to do this? I am getting different answers and trying to see if it’s absolutely necessary. Many people say they did it without turning off water and it’s a simple job.
Thank you
