    monobloc tap and basin hole

    I've got a monoblock tap fitted to a washbasin but it seems the basin hole is a mm or so too big as there is a small gap between the edge of the tap and the edge of the basin hole, meaning water can easily go through. Do monobloc taps and basin holes come in standard size or do you need to...

    Problem with wall hung basin

    I would be very grateful for advice re problems with my newly fitted bathroom. A few days after the 550mm basin was wall-hung (because I don't like the look of pedestals), I rested my hand on it, and a tile behind it cracked, and the basin is now very slightly loose. And, no, I did not swing on...

    Relocating a basin trap

    I am trying to figure out how to fit a (non-electrical) water softener in my downstairs bathroom where the supply pipe enters the house.

    My new basin doesn't look white!

    We've just had a shower room fitted with units and sanitary ware from a fairly well known and definitely not cheap supplier.
