From williams and co. Was 119 including tap and waste. Looked at wickes but it was kind of the same price for the size and I was getting all my gear from them so went with them. Good build quality too

That's a cracking price mate, nice one!
 
Clear, but when you silicone around the inside of the tray and down the sides at the front, do you do this in white? And how do you transition to the clear at the front? Bcause your supposed to silicone tray before fitting screen, or do you just install screen and silicone back and sides of try inside in white and then around the outside of shower tray in clear?

Well, the shower screen was too big. So I just cut 10mm of top and bottom rail and hey presto. It's snug like a bug now. Quite a mission to move around on your own those shower trays are. Was surprised I didnt shatter it after hearing the stories on here
 
Do behind the channels when you put em in in white put screen in drill it all in place run the white round inside then do all the outside in clear
 
Just wondering if anyone has any good for ways to shorten the silver rings that cover th pipe holes on the shower valve. I left it all connected for tiler so he could see my distances. He removed it and put it together without them coverings and so now the pipes way too short

Surely someone has had to do this before!!?
 
I guess for this reason, it is good if you can do all the stuff involved. Not just the plumbing. There wouldn't be half the issues there is when all different trades on 1 job
 
Its this one..its an external bar one with 3/4 connectors. I didn't really want to have to buy anything. Losing cash on this job. Sometimes though, when it has been going on and you just want to get it finished, I don't care what it costs. I just want it finished
 
Mutley could you wind a tap extension into the back plate so brings your offset its out a bit further, or havr you thrown them out and used a fixing kit
 
Now that is an option. Use an 1/2 inch male to 1/2 inch female behind offset parts. Then I would never know if it were to leak or not as it will be concealed

Wind em in then offsets put 3/4 blank caps on test then put bar shower on
 
I find it easier to use the fixing kits instead of those annoying angle things set pipes level at 150mm centers done a LOT easier imho
 
Is that the metal bar kit? I hate those offset things also. Prefer the ons with compression on end of valves. Then you can leave as long as you like and cut to length

Does anyone know what fitting I need to go into this? I have tried 2inch pipe. 2inch rubber boss things. 2 inch reducers. But nothing fits. It came with a rubber reducer but I threw it away. Think it's from wickes
 
Not a straight bar two round backplates with olive inside , goggle bristan fixing kit
 
A tenner less the cost of 2 wallplate elbows and a lot of fkn around :smile:
On stud walls i drill 2 16mm holes @150mm centres through a dwang (noggin) Gives you something solid to screw into.

Most mira bar showers come with the easy fit kit now. Installed a Mira Coda and was pleasantly surprised when opened up. Think all the plumbers moaning made have a rethink? Worth knowing however.
 
Other people make em as well as bristan mutley worth the extra money for me though makes installs so much easier

A dwang Tam, is that regional terminology for a noggin?
 
Definitely going to add them fixing kits into the quote next time. I like less hassle. Dwang hey. I never heard that word but my phone has.
