Re: Does This Look right it has been installed by homebase ?? its in the airing cupbo

nick1974, my advice would be for you to pay for the services of an independent inspector, i.e contact a reputable local plumbing firm and get them to do a written survey. Be upfront with this company and tell them what the survey is being used for. Money spent on this will be reimbursed if your claim succeeds. Money well spent in my opinion and achieved in a proper, professional manner.

Your new bar shower was only trickling because they are meant for high pressure systems. Yours is low pressure (tank fed) so would never have worked without a pump.
The cold for the shower taken from the feed to the hot tank would not have made any difference on a gravity shower but it would make the pump cavitate so had to be changed.

If you are not happy get back onto them but you will either still need the pump or a different shower valve.

They have made too many faults. What is the scraper behind the pump for? .... scraping the bottom of plumbing disasters barrel? :grin:
Nice copper, done with bender & clipped is only way. I would always make sure distance from pump to pipes is enough to bend a pipe. Seen a lot worse though. You have no air free hot supply & they should repay you.

shower valve ?
the old shower used to work fine but the thermostat in the centre of the bar seized up hence we decided to update and replace what was there

Don't look too closely at that pushfit blank end or you might end up with a 15mm JG Speedfit eyeball.

All looks rather lazy to me. No doubt whoever installed it was told to get in and out quickly!

As others have said get someone to list all the problems/bad practices and then see what Homebase have to say.

the original copper pipework looks ok aswell, then some toss pot has came in and ruined it with his plastic pipework up the wall like an albino snake has just escaped from the zoo

Have to give credit, where it's due though, at least they didn't bend the pump hoses into all shapes. I have seen worse, but normally only done by DIY idiots!

You get what you pay for should've got a local plumber rather than a diy shed, just nail the cupboard shut and forget it!

Now whilst I don't claim to be an expert plumber, the amount of dodgy installs that I see (currently doing reactive maintenance) it's unbelievable! Especially the amount of silicone that I find where it just isn't needed (between pans and cisterns is a common one) or ptfe tape on the thread of waste traps!

Isn't Danny in Kent? If you end up looking for a pro to do it and he's got some spare time he's your man.
