bathroom

Recently bought a Triton shower as our old one (a year old) had stopped working. Connected the shower to make sure it worked. Yeahy we had lift off. Then we tiled, grouted and mounted the shower in place. Just pulled the pull chord, OK that's on, but the shower is not turning on when I switch...

Hi, I have a leaky basin monobloc tap that needs replacing. The current tap has integrated pop-up waste lever/knob. Most basin taps these days come with a separate clicker waste. Can I replace my existing tap and waste with one of these without having to change the basin as well? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Good Evening. I have noticed today a hairline crack in my groundfloor wet room. Attached the photo too. Its very thin but long, almost end to end on the shorter side of the ceiling. It’s NOT wet and no discolouration. Could it just be because of the moisture in the wet room...

I’m having a bathroom refurb and as you can see from the images attached, within minutes of the old tiles being removed, it’s obvious the old plaster underneath will follow suit. Would you suggest removing all the tiles and the remaining (if any) plaster and then dot and dab plasterboard to...

Ok simple question that is either so simple that no one has ever tried to get it answered or its just obvious to everyone. I'm refreshing my shower and I am going get a 760×760 enclosure. My question is; do I get a 760×760 tray or do I need a bigger one, like 800×800??? I don't want to take...

I'm planning to rotate a toilet from its previous position and move it slightly further from the existing soil pipe, then box in the pipework. The plumber I had lined up to do this has gone quiet and I can't find another plumber who is able to do this job in the next week or so - meanwhile, the...

Hi, I want to do a brick bond of 40 cm x 25 cm tiles in Bathroom. Trouble is, if I set out on the window wall, around the window (tiles centered around window) I get a slither on the left hand side. If I set out in the centre of the window wall, I get reasonable cuts all over but obviously the...

Hi All, I'm in the process of sorting out some plumbing under the new bath (probably badly) and once I'd Tee'd off the new shower pipes and sorted other connections the 300mm flexi tap connectors are too long (Flexing quite badly) which I dont really want! I found some 150mm Flexi connectors...

Hi, The other day the waste on my bathroom sink broke (very old and corroded), and I can't figure out how to remove it now to replace it. There's no locking nut underneath It was a pop up plug with a lever behind the taps, but the part attached to the lever is the part that broke off! There...

Hi- my shower door with great surprise feel off it’s hinge and nearly hit my wife. Looking at the fixture it appears the glass was glued to the metal hinge. See picture, to reattach this I would appreciate any recommendation for best glue to use for this- and how I should prep the surfaces...

Hi All, I need to replace the rollers in the shower doors. I tried looking online on standard sites like Screwfix, B&Q, Homebase, etc. but can't seem to find any. There are some available on Amazon and Ebay but don't want to buy a wrong part. Ideally would want to walk into a store with the...

Hi, I am trying to fit a bathroom fan with a humidistat to replace an old, failed switched fan. There is only a 3 core cable (so live, neutral and ground - no switched live) There is an isolater switch outside the bathroom. I don't mind the fan being enabled all the time, switch off only by...

The wings are hard plastic and sharp, so impossible to screw out by hand. Is there a tool for these? Are they even toilet seat fixings or some other kind of fixing bodged in? The bolt is top to bottom. There are no quick fixings or releases on the toilet seat. I have to remove these...

I'm having a dispute with my bathroom installer about a new "wetroom" they installed. They are saying that the shower area is tanked correctly and have repeatedly said that the grouting and silicon is the main defence. However I was expecting the shower area and floor to be tanked fully but I...

Hi All, I’m about to start tiling the cloakroom with white metro tiles on the wall and a patterned tile on the floor. I understand you are better to start with the wall and flooring after? In terms of a starting point, is it better to start from the top of my planned half height wall and work...

Hi, I have a recent bathroom fit from 2 years ago. I noticed one of the nuts started leaking and over time the paint has started bubbling around it. After tightening the nut the leak stopped but the rust seems to have spread. I've just emptied the radiator and chipped off the loose paint to...
