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...

i have a shower bar mixer. the shower runs luke warm. a quick google search showed some ideas on how to adjust it. i tried adjusting it and it didn't change the temp. when i adjusted it the other way to test the cold...
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 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?
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...
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.

Morning all. Just about to install a crosswatwr shower valve and want to connect in the valve with end feed 22mm x 3/4 male. Manual says not to use tapered threads. Cannot find parallel out there that come with end feed.
Any ideas
Thanks
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...
Hi Folks, Need your advice on how to access a thermostat cartridge to fix/replace. Please see pics below. I have manged to to get the main shower control cartridge out as it is leaking badly. But now need to sort the thermostat/mixer out now as very stiff and difficult to turn to cold. The...
hi all
i was attempting to install the tiles today on the wall. if you look at the photo, i started at the pipe work as that was the most intricate. problem is, it kept slipping an inch, very frustrating. in the end i gave up and manged to save the adhesive (ready mix) I'm betting its something...

Hello folks, I’m trying to fix this slow leaking tap myself and I’m stuck here.
How do I dismantle it further to replace whatever needs replacing to fix the drip?
(The chrome ring round the top will not unscrew by hand.)
Many thanks
Hi Guys Im on my third T100XR in quick sucession. The water heaters start kettling, making a banging noise. This happens after about 12 to 18 months of domestic use. Triton say they have never heard of the issue, probably as they would.
We are in a soft water area, mains pressure is good, and...
Hi, I have a new build property with 2 en-suites with showers. After running the shower for a short or long time and turning off, the shower drain starts to gurgle for around 20 to 30 seconds. Both shower drains go to a soil stack with an AAV in the loft. Removing the AAV does not change the...
Hi all,
I'm having an issue with the cold tap in my upstairs bathroom. There is barely a trickle of water coming out, while the hot water tap is running fine. I'm not having any problems with any other cold taps in my house.
A Google search suggests that there may be an airlock in the system...
My son has a Shower Room in his long Cottage that is fed by Mains cold water, the hot water is supplied by a local Powerstream Heater.
The problem is that when the cold water is used at the other end of the cottage, the cold water pressure drops and the Powerstream low flow cut-out operates and...
Hello,
I’m trying to fit a diverter to a Grohe concetto single hole mixer tap. I have removed the aerator but cannot find any adapter that will fit as the opening is at an angle. The removed aerator is F22 female and screws onto plastic threads that look like a hexagon when looking up into the...
Hi. Could anyone advise if this is a push fit fitting that I can rotate?
If I had to cut out the section I'd have to do from below in the kitchen which might be problematic.
I've applied some wd40 in prep for when I disconnect toilet but not sure if it will move.
Thanks
Hi, I have a shower coming from a bath mixer tap. Because the hot water is such low pressure I fitted a pump to the hot wter tank - this works fine. The problem is, the pressure of the hot water far outweighs that of the cold and if you shower for anything longer than few minutes the hot pushes...
