As an alternative to traditional tankless heaters, aliexpress sells a variety of cheap taps incorporating a heater, for example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32351508889.html This looks too good to be true, looking at the compactness and at the price. Hence I was wondering if anybody has...

Hello, If anyone can offer any advice on the below it would be much appreciated. I have a Bristan shower mixer (separate from my bath taps) which recently has been getting stuck when I've been trying to turn the dial so the water is off. Sometimes the mixer makes a 'clunk' noise when the...

Hi folks bit of a strange one really. I live out in the countryside so I'm on a water well with a storage tank in the garden. Basically I keep getting the low pressure light on my power shower. Here's the bit I find strange. When you turn the temp up past 5 the light goes off and the shower...

The Bathroom (Upstairs) has such poor water pressure that the taps are no better than a trickle. The bath and basin have had their filters removed to try increase the flow. The cold water tank in our loft was around 4" off the floor. We have now raised it to the highest point practically. With...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy this or a similar exposed chrome trap & I'm wondering how you go about joining it onto the waste elbow which will be in the wall. Is it a solvent weld job? I can't seen there being any room in the wall void for a compression fitting. Cheers...

My flat suffers from poor mains pressure and we have a direct heat setup with combi boiler. The boiler is rated up to 3Bar, so I was thinking of installing a cold water tank to feed a twin pump supply cold and into the boiler for hot (both 15mm). My questions are - Is this a feasible setup -...

i have a pressurised system boiler running at 1.5 bar and have purchased a hydro massage shower cabin that needs 2.5 bar to run. Can I increase the pressure to run my new shower or is there anyway to make this work or have I made a huge mistake. Retailer proving to be pretty useless other than...

I purchased and fitted a shower wall plate in our new bathroom. Water pipes connect behind. The front of the plate has two threads that take one-inch nuts, but I cannot find a bar shower that connects using a one-inch nut. Is there something I need to purchase to connect a bar shower to the wall...

Hi Guys, First post, here we go, Just re routed some pipe work because it was all surface and looked shocking, so re piped it all above the ceiling. Everything fine plenty of flow and pressure, but the combi which is a Logic 30 will only get the call for hot water if the taps are on full chat...

Morning all. Had a simple job which I might of turned into a blunder. It started when I took a radiator off the wall, I opened the bleed valve and I must not of closed the valve enough as water leaked out when taking it off. I closed all the valves and replaced the radiator and have fitted it...

I'm looking for some advice. Last year I had a boiler fitted and the outside drainage pipe was leaking within the bedroom cupboard, this has caused the water and salt type residue to leak within the cavity wall and go downstairs causing a damp patch in my hall wall downstairs. At night time is...

Hi all I have twin IKEA sinks in my bathroom and have started to notice the one on the right gurgles as the one on the left drains. The internal sink plumbing (done by me) and main plumbing (done by a plumber) is all about a year old. Googling it suggests a blockage and I have used some drain...
