Trying to remove a bath...thought I had done the hard part with the chisel and the surround...but it simply will not budge...its plastic/fibreglass...can I just cut along the edge with a jigsaw ?? Any issues with dust from the cutting ?
Thanks.

Cut the bath into 3 eg left to right (short) take the middle section on and rest should fall in but wear a good mask

also the legs look encased in concrete

Thanks and to Pete123...
Yes entire bath had a concrete wall..even with the chisel it was hard going...needless to say pipe work underneath is a mess...but this is France...
One odd thing...from the drain there is a waste pipe running up into the loft and as expected waste running to the floor below.
(Upstairs bathroom)
Waste pipe to loft - I have not checked but there should be nothing up there except insulation...in France ALL water is mains pressure so no such thing as header tanks...could it be a vent ? If so...why ?
 
Will be a drain vent

Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

I have attached an image of the brass body within a tap. Having replaced a cartridge which has cured a leaking tap, I can see that there is a small leak from the brass body which can be unscrewed. Is there a seal behind the body? Thanks.
