    What type of bath filler is this and how do I get a new handle?

    Hello all, The handle on the bath filler broke. The issue is that a generic handle doesn't fit: Here's the drain without handle: You can see what the issue is: The handle needs to be 'concave', because the central bolt is 'prone'. Can anybody recommend a handle that would fit? Or...

    Daft Question Alert. Twin Wastes on a Bath

    Sorry guys but what exactly are twin wastes on a bath? Seen a bath advertise with these specs. Now I'm used to baths with one drain plug and one waste trap but if a new bath has 2 wastes does this mean 2 plug holes and 2 waste traps under the bath are required?

    Leaky elbow on bath drainage - I screwed up!!

    Hi all I could kick myself! I finished the drainage for my bath today but upon testing there was clearly a leak from one of the elbows just before it hits the soil pipe (see photo). I'm not happy, this was a simple joint with all the space and time but somehow I haven't applied enough solvent...

    Hi all, I need to connect my bath drainage to my new soil pipe. I have only one spare entry to boss into the pipe at the very bottom (see photo).

    How to access taps behind a P shaped shower bath

    I'm about to install a P shaped shower bath into a small bathroom. However I've noticed that with the bath in place it's not possible to reach under the bath to the pre drilled tap holes. Because of the circular shape there's also no line of sight to these either making it very hard or...

    I have a dripping hot water bath tap. I have removed the top but underneath is a plastic cap ( see picture) but the cap will not come off to get to the cartridge, and I don't want to force it in case it breaks. Anybody any ideas on how to remove it, and if it breaks where you would be able to...

    Disconnecting a bath! How to cap off the tap supplies?

    I want to cap off the supply to my bath taps before removing the bath itself. Would I do this with a few Polyplumb stop ends? If so, is there an obvious point on each set of pipes that I should disconnect and add the stop end too, or will any work? (I'm only an amateur DIYer, but to me it...

    Acrylic bath manufacturing standards/dimensions

    Hi all, I have been refitting my bathroom and the final piece is the bath. I have a separate shower so wasn’t looking for reinforced and decided I was happy with 5mm acrylic. As I was putting the feet on the bath I looked at the underside of the rim and noticed that the acrylic looked thin...

    Best place to source low pressure bath filler taps

    I'm having a nightmare trying to find matt black wall or deck mounted bath mixer taps with 3/4 fitting that work on 0.2 bar. From tank to tap, I have around 2.4 metres, so a pressure of a little over 0.2 bar. The flow measured from the tap currently fitted is 11 litres per minute. Pretty much...

    Hot black water coming out of bath tap in newly refurbished. Bathroom

    Hi, I hope someone can help. I’m hoping this isn’t a permanent problem. We’ve converted a gravity vented hot water system, into an unvented indirect hot water system to improve pressure in the house. The previous cylinders are in the loft now they’re in the garage next to the boiler. We...

    Please can anybody identify this bath?

    I need to replace the bath panel on my P bath, but it came with the house and I don't know what type it is. It has a fairly small bulge for the shower end of the bath, so a lot of p bath panels wouldn't fit. I've checked the most popular bathroom places with no luck. Thanks

    P shape bath panel??

    Out of curiosity folks. What are some solutions to fitting these panels when the floor is way out? Obviously if it’s all level there’s no issue but other than getting a chippy in 😳, what’s best? Cheers
