Most grateful for any advice on the fittings reqired to enable 22mm feeds into the mixer taps via the chrome extension pipes customer supplied in a kit with no instructions. The taps are 'Homes 1924 Bathrooms'
This is a free standing kit.
There chrome pipe is 35mm internal with a detachable...
Will any offset quadrant tray fit any same sized enclosure ?
ie...are they all the same shape ?
Or does each make of enclosure req a specific tray
I'm getting the Toreno gold 1200x 800 (see oic),there's 100s of trays of the same size and shape
Hi all, apologies in advance for my ignorance. I have an old style toilet with what I've researched is a ballcock. The toilet was screaming every time we flushed so I googled and found it was the diaphragm valve that needed replaced.
I bought a pack of diaphragm seals and attempted to change...
Hi Everyone,
I'm moving to a megaflow from a regular immersion heater set up. The house has several showers and at the moment they are fed by gravity feeds from the immersion (hot water) and a top floor tank (cold water). All the showers are powered by (pressure drop) pumps which are fed by...
I have just moved into a flat and the water waste pipe from the flat above goes through our bathroom. Whoever lived here before had painted it but I’m guessing with normal paint and the paint is flaking off, presumably due to water heat. The pipe is about 7ft tall and about 15cm wide. Would it...
Good Afternoon.
Just wondering if it would be fine to connect an electric shower to the balanced cold supply from an unvented cylinder.
Replacing an old Bath mixer tap with the shower hose built into it.
Regards
I took the toilet off. No clog. Put it back on and it's still has the issue of water rising before draining very slowly.
Took 2-3 flushes just to get rid of toilet paper.
Hi,
I am putting in a Rain Shower and I am quite tall. 192 cms. My concern is the rain shower is not height enough.
I estimate the the distance between the top of the rain shower is going to be 12 cms and the top of my head.
Is that enough?
I want to get some guidance on what is the correct...
Hi Everyone,
Can anyone help? I have been searching but with no luck. I am trying to fit a Duravit shower trap which has a 50mm outside diameter euro pipe size outlet. I need to attach it to a 40mm UK size waste pipe and would prefer to solvent weld it as the pipe will be under a tiled...
Hi,
Just looking for some advice as seen a few different things online. I'm installing a shower tray in our bathroom but this one has a square inlay to it first. Is this just a standard wet room square plate and then a normal shower trap underneath? I have seen some mcalpine ones but they are...
Hi all
Moved in to a new house a few months ago. The previous owner had installed an accessible wetroom with nonslip flooring, handrails, etc. We've been using it but have started to notice that some of the floor tiles make a squelching sound when you tread on them and a little water emerges...
We had the bathrooms replaced when we moved in 2 years ago. This involved 2x bathrooms and 1x WC.
Within the first few weeks, we noticed leaking from the en-suite down into the reception room and the fitter promptly came and repaired it, it was something to do with the area under the sink. We...
I have bought a shower tray and it has an extra large hole for the waste trap. Its a cooke and lewis think its an eclips 1400 x 900 tray. The hole is 160mm and has a lip around it for the cap at 200mm. Cant seem to find one in the correct size, hope someone can help.
Hi all
Do any of you guys use a silicone to seal between the bath and waste rubber underneath?
The bath is only a cheap one and the bottom of the waste opening isn’t flat, which seems to leave an opening enabling water to leak out.
I used silicone in the past for this very problem but I was...
Hi everyone , got a problem with a cartridge change on a mira shower.
It seems only the hot side is working. The temp control only lessens the spray.
Put the cartridge in the opposite way and only getting cold
Im stumped.
Hi, just wondering if anyone knows where I could source a thermostatic shower mixer bar that accepts hot and cold supplies the opposite way around i.e. I’m looking for a mixer where the hot water supply comes in from the right hand side instead of the left. This is to provide a workaround to the...
I attended a customers house to fix a reported leak from their shower waste. Turns out there was a split in the trap. Straight forward I thought and got a standard 90mm trap from the van. Turns out the hole in the shower base isn't big enough to fit the top section by the width of the thread on...
So I bought my first flat recently (am in UK) and in a bit of a pickle as the bathroom has turned up lots of problems that weren't picked up by the survey. I have had loads of plumbers over, and have always carefully checked their reviews/tried to vet them as much as possible. However, I've had...
Hi all,
First post here so please be patient.
We recently had our ensuite remodelled and were initially really happy with the result. However, there is now sometimes a smell of raw sewage which I have tracked to the back-to-wall toilet (it could have been the shower or the sink).
It's not...
