Hi,

I need to temporarily remove my bathtub in order to fix a damp wall. Water was going behind the bath due to some dodgy tiles, as a result it has rotted the wall behind it.

My question is, once I have disconnected the water supply, do I need to temporarily cap the pips whilst I do the repair work to the walls?

Just to make things more complicated, the bath is connected to a Sani-flo unit, I'm presuming I just disconnect this as normal?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Harry

I have a dripping bath tap. Seperate to the spout. Quarter turn level tap from the wall. I need to change the cartridge as it’s dripping lots but can’t seem to work out how to remove the housing. Has this been installed badly behind the tiles?

Afternoon, our bath waste pipe in our rented property has started leaking slightly when we shower. We've narrowed it down to a loose screw in the centre of the plughole. My understanding is that this screw being loose means that water is able to leak out between the bath waste and the waste...
