    Bath Overflow and Waste Connection

    Hi, I bought a new bath overflow and waste which I thought would be simple to install. The existing seems to have been plumbed differently. Does any one know the connection I need in the second photo? I had to cut the old overflow off as it wouldn't loosen.

    Bath tap heads - unusual type

    My father's bath has unknown make tap heads, which turn one way for the side filler & the other for the shower. The heads are a bit like upside-down saucepans but with rectangular block handles - the saucepan look was everywhere a few years ago IIRC (a bit like the pic 😂). However AFAICT...

    Rotten wood holding bath tap

    It looks like that over time water has got under the seal of the bath tap and has rotted away at the wood that effectively holds the taps steady on the bath.

    Looks like the bath plug is leaking...

    It looks as though the bath plug is leaking even though the water is dripping further up the basin as it were (i.e. in the direction of the overflow pipe/towards the camera) and not from the area immediately around the plug.
