Hello,

Hello,
I'm wondering if you can help me.
I have an insurance company who is trying to get me to make my plumber re-quote for work to replace a broken bath. He's included a bath panel with the quote as it's the type of bath that requires a panel (and the original style is not available so can't...
I've just replaced an Ultra SASF2 – M thermostatic shower cartridge together with the spring mechanism and the temperature sensor.

For the guys doing a lot of bathroom work. What dual mixer showers would you recommend?
I don’t think the budget reaches to the Grohe stuff but also want something that’s not going to need new cartridges every 5 minutes.

Hi folks

We've just had a new bathroom fitted but noticed a few annoying scratches on the polymarble top, central on top at the front of the basin. Plumber has tried 'Bar Keepers Friend' to remove it but it's unfortunately taken the gloss/shine off the area and we're left with just a dullness where the...
