I have a Flomasta Space-Saving Shower Waste Trap White/Stainless Steel 90mm (162KJ) advertised at 76 Ltrs/pm 🤔 and have also tried a (513JN) advertised at 26 ltrs/pm. Both actually have a realistic flow rate of around 16 ltrs/pm when tested. Now it get interesting when you arn’t in the...

Hi All, After some expert opinions. Moving bathroom from one room to the next. Hopefully my drawing and pictures are clear enough. 1) is it ok to come into the bath waste line with the washing machine waste using a swept T, the vertical point at entry can actually be allot higher than I have...

I have a corner shower unit that is raised from the floor in a loft conversion. When stepping into the shower, the seal drops, splits and breaks, meaning water leaks through. A plumber has been out to look at this but when stepping in, i've noticed there is still a small split. What can be done...

Hi, I have a Douglas James shower pod with a concealed mixer shower. This appears to be a Triton Elina shower, but not 100% confirmed. As with some older posts in the forum, the control lever has come off and I can't get it back on. Spare parts are no longer available either from Triton or, as...

Should my shower shroud cover these exposed threads? I can’t tighten the nuts anymore and the shroud can’t be moved closer as the threads/nut will start to show on the other side. I can’t move the threads into the wall as there’s not enough space around the copper pipes.

Hello I have a 1800 x 900 resin shower tray raised for plumbing access. The shower is enclosed on the two short sides and one long side. I was planning on adding a 1200 mm screen. Leaving a 600mm opening to prevent splashes / water on the floor and allow access. However I have a radiator that...

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...

Or at least that's what I think it's called! I've managed to remove the water supply from electric shower unit and the shower head lead, but the valve won't come off the rail. I need to remove the valve so I can slide the rail up to change out the shower head holder as the old one is loose. It...

Hi, looking for some ideas/advice please... Currently we have 2 showers in the house. The water pressure isn't great in the house and it's mainly a problem when showering. The pressure drops considerably if someone opens a tap or flushes the toilet elsewhere in the house and it's really...

I turn the shower off and water still coming out the shower head. I took the front peice off and when I tighten the screw it does stop but lossens when I use shower again, so got to keep tightening the screw. Why is it doing this please?

Hi all, I have just fitted a concealed shower valves. I noticed that the bottom handle is not at a direct right angle, and I have tried every position. The top one is fine and I can get it perfectly straight in the off position. Is there aby further adjustment that can be done on where 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...
