I recently moved into a new flat and both toilets were dripping when not in use. I found that the issue was the flush valve seal and replaced it on both of them. It stopped the dripping but the issue now is that sometimes it sticks after flushing and I need to give it a wiggle to make it go back...
Hi,
We have this novellini (we believe) quadrant enclosure, and the hooks at the bottom had snapped, so we needed to replace them, and now we are trying to rehang the doors but we can't for the life of us figure out how to do it!
We can see how the hooks and runners fit into the tracks...
My house runs an unvented system and I plan to renovate my shower and replacing the existing one with a Grohe Grotherm 1000 Cosmopolitan Bar shower model 34437000. At the moment the flow rate of my shower at hydrostatic pressure only is 7 litres per minute. The shower head is about 1.5m below...
Hi, I'm new to the site and am hoping someone can help with a bit of an unusual problem. I recently bought a house and need to replace the shower. The one that the boss wanted leaves a gap around the valve when fitted. It looks like the present one was a diy job because the holes for the feed...
First time novice, I thought I had a problem with my shower pump as the flow was much lower than normal. Pure coincidence but this happened just after I had my H/W cylinder replaced.
My shower is gravity feed from the H/W cylinder and a separate C/W tank, both located in the loft. I only have...
I've bought a Kaldewei contract bath. The grips are thin, don't fit well, and enamel has flaked off around the fixing holes after only a few days. So it's going back, but what should I go for instead? I realise that I probably need to spend more.

I am finishing my basement but the one area I lack confidence is plumbing. I am looking to verify if what I have planned is acceptable. Framing is complete - The bathroom wall shares a wall with a wet bar on the other side.
I have a 2" stack coming...
I’m after some replacement roller wheels, not necessarily the whole roller units. The shower unit was made by Biava - pretty old, around 20 years, I should imagine. It doesn't look like parts are easily available as I've looked pretty hard and contacted a number of online sellers.
Some of the...
I have a thermostatic concealed shower and would like to remove the thermostatic valve and look to clean any debris as it doesn't appear to be getting very hot, other showers are fine. It's around 6 years old. It was installed by a plumber and bought from a company in Wales, have been told it...
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...
We moved into a house in the summer and there are two showers, one upstairs, one downstairs. We are using the downstairs one as the one upstairs needs replacing and have noticed that when you turn the shower on, after a short while there is a longish beep. It sounds like it comes from maybe the...
I am trying to make a pressure balancing loop for body jets in a shower. I have limited space so the loop has to be similar to those drawn.
I just need to know which one would work and if both, then which is better.
Thanks in advance :)
I'm planning to fix your shower with the assistance of Itile Bathrooms NT, a bathroom renovation specialist in Darwin, Australia, but I don't know how much money it would cost me.
Hello all
I'm replacing 2 unvented cylinder a which are (a) end of life and (b) installed in a way which is clearly not right (no 2 port shut off valve on the heating coils just for a start, and there are other issues).
The heating coils are currently controlled with 3 port valves that are...
In the old days, toilets used quite a lot of water when flushing.
Nowday, there are what they call water saving toilets. They are not quite new in desing - I think the principle of how they work camed into the '30'-50's. I know they are based on the fact that the way of the water getts a little...
Keen amatuer that I am I decided to have a go at changing the cartridge in my shower when the old one failed. I had a spare as I got one when I had the valve fitted. The cartridge is as a SC50T32 I followed the video on the Ultra technical site l and it all went smoothly but I now have a...
Morning gents and gals,
I have a Milano Tower Shower about 15 years old, where I have a couple of issues :-
1. The shower head has seen better days and I would like to replace it, however, the BPS seems to be a 1 inch or so not the usual 1/2 inch and the grey fitting at the top does not want...
Hi all. My hot supply for my shower is on the left and my cold feed is on the right. My understanding is that this is correct and this is also stated in the user manu.al.
However when I turn my mixer clockwise the water is turning cold when it should be hot. When I turn it anticlockwise the...
