Is this shower valve decent?
https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/arezzo-round-modern-twin-concealed-shower-valve-matt-black
A few years ago I had to replace my old, 1960's downstairs loo as it had a crack in it. I was told that, because the waste pipe went down into a hole in the concrete floor and because of the distance of that hole from the back wall (20cm), I'd need a loo with a concealed cistern in a large...
I have a macerator which does a toilet, sink and shower in our basement, it has worked fine for 2 years then water started backing up into shower tray so I took the macerator out (3 hr job due to location) and the non-return valve had come a bit loose. Repaired that, gave it a good clean out...
Hi all
Would be grateful for any help you can give:
Model: Redring Selectronic Premier - 2016 model
Problem: Water spewing from the bottom of the main unit instead of coming out through the hose.
I initially thought this was due to the PRV having activated but upon further investigation I...
Hi. We have an aqualisa shower that has developed an intermittent problem. Been working fine then one day I pressed start and water came out for a split second, stopped, and the device became unresponsive to any key presses with the "boost" and blue/red lights stuck on (usually in working order...
I seem to find a lot of different opinions on fixing walk-in shower trays to floors. I will be fixing to a marine ply base screwed into joists with noggins. The manufacturer says bed into a weak mortar mix, but I read that this can lead to problems when the mortar dries out. Some say silicon...
A couple of issues I’m hoping can be solved here!
The shower in our en suite is far too hot, and the temperature control just feels loose i.e when you turn it there’s no resistance and the temperature doesn’t change. It also only turns about 45 degrees which also doesnt seem right.
I’ve...
Hi, hope I could get some advice here. It's a bit of a diy job here, I have re-done my bathroom shower cubicle, replaced the old concealed shower valve with a new one, complete with new shiny tiles. I did check that water was coming through and no leak, before finishing the tiling. Big rookie...
this may sound a basic question, but it is important. I have seen so many conflicting opinions, even from manufacturers. Some say, just use the biggest bore possible, others say use a small bore 8mm for a fully pumped system & a large bore 11mm for a gravity system. There must be a reason why...
I'm looking for a single-piece shower screen to replace the 4 panel folding (got black mould on the rubber parts). Something simple like this:
The problem I am finding is that after wading through lots of reviews, it seems to be a common problem across many models that they have a gap in the...
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...
Hi all. Has anyone used this stuff before when having a weep on a solvent joint? I got a joint on the soil pipe connecting to the underground drainage pipe which would be a nightmare to rip out?
Hi, the pop up plug system has broken and needs replacing. I would like to replace the whole lot. My issue is trying to remove the waste drain cover from the bath isn't what I'm expecting. There is no screw holding the trap to the plug section in the bath. As the bath is fiberglass, I don't want...
Need a section on here that covers showers.....
have a Milano Elizabeth shower mixer, often when I open the flow valve fully there is no flow at all, it is fully pumped, but a flow is possible without the pump on, if I move the temperature control slightly back and forth the flow returns...
I’ve paid good money for a bathroom installation. This follows on from having an en-suite installed last year. Both involved replacing existing radiators with flexi pipe behind them with towel rails. When my towel rail was fitted in the en suite the plumber fitted with two very short pieces of...
My toilet flush is very weak & can't really even flush a few sheets of toilet paper away.
A syphon flush, not a flapper.
Up until a few days ago it worked perfectly, then the flush just started being really weak. Doesn't flush toilet paper at all.
Water comes out & the cistern empties, but the...
Hi chaps - can anyone recommend a replacement for the above? keeping it as simple as possible please....hot and cold inlets are on tight side as is the cable....cheers Dave
Hi all,
We recently had a ground floor bathroom/wet room finished off, It's about 3.6m long by 2.7m wide, tiled from floor to ceiling and has no window in there due to a future extension that will take place on the other side of the rear wall.
Unfortunately, i've Instantly noticed when...
Hi. I'm currently estimating on installing a new shower pump to feed an existing bath/shower diverter.
Hot side: fit flange and spherical valve and Y strainer to old cylinder, reduce to 15 mm and to pump flexi and reconnect existing hot distributing pipe.
Repair shelf in AC and fit twin...
On bad advice our builder installed a no brand/cheap built in shower mixer in our new bathroom 5 years ago.
It has stopped working - and the water is almost impossible to adjust to the right temperature - and changes temp when other taps in the house are turned on/off.
We have been told that...
