I have a 760x760 shower tray that I want to replace with a 760x1000 shower tray up stairs. Will I have to get a riser kit as well or can I make use of the existing one?

Hi all, I’m getting a couple of bathrooms refurbished, and in one of the bathrooms (a bath/shower area), the installers have created a large niche on a party wall. They’ve removed the bricks on my side of the wall, added a lintel (since it’s load-bearing), and our neighbors are fine with the...

Hello, Have recently swapped out my electric shower for a gas one, therefore leaving me with a 40amp supply in my attic that is no longer required. I would like to repurpose this supply and use it to power a radial circuit for sockets in my attic. Would this be possible if I placed a 13amp...

In our ensuite, we have noticed a small damp patch in the corner by the shower door. It initially started small but has grown taller and wider over the past few weeks. The shower is on the opposite wall, and there is no plumbing or pipework behind this wall. However, water seems to be seeping...

I have a twin concealed shower valve- recently it has got incredibly stiff when turning the temperature control (bottom tap) clockwise to cold but still smooth when anticlockwise to hot. I decided to try remove the tap to see if I can work out what is going on. I have removed the grub screw...

I’m planning to connect a shower trap to the waste pipes for a new shower tray. The waste outlet is located towards the wall in the center, so the waste pipes will need a 90-degree bend. I’ll need to make a cut near the existing Tee, but I’m concerned that if I don’t get it right the first time...

I’m laying down a 1200 x 760 stone resin on a floor that isn’t level. Manufacture instructions recommend a cement mix or silicone. Silicone seems like the simpler option but can this be used to level a shower tray? Or would a sand cement mix be better for this?

I’m planning to install a shower tray, but I’ve noticed it’s bowed by about 3mm, which is within the manufacturer’s tolerance. My concern is how to securely attach a shower screen, given that the tray isn’t perfectly flat. Do you have any advice on the best approach?

I’m in the process of connecting a shower tray waste and have encountered an issue. The tray is being installed on plywood, with layers of chipboard and OSB beneath it, which has raised the trap significantly. As a result, it’s not aligning with the existing waste pipes. Would it be better to...

Hello, We have a macerator in our flat which is connected to the kitchen sink and the shower. There is a wall in between. The toilet and the basin I think are not connected to the macerator because the macerator does not turn on when they're used. Can someone explain why there was a need for...

I’m installing a waste pipe for my shower, with the pipe running about 600mm to the center of the tray, where it will connect to the trap. I’ve read a fall of 1 cm per every 40cm is adequate. What is the best method to ensure the correct slope has been reached for proper drainage? I’m using...
