Can anyone notice any issues with this pipework? These are hot and cold water pipes leading to a shower plate. My only concern is that after turning the water off and removing the caps, no water came out at all. Normally, I would expect at least a few drops. Any thoughts?

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...

I need to improve the pressure in two mixer showers, as gravity is struggling. The house has a large hot water cylinder, and as far as I can tell the cold is on mains and the pressure is good both upstairs and downstairs. So my assumption was that I could add a 3 bar negative single ended...

I have a mixer tap with shower, tap works fine however the shower temp is boiling hot.

My bathroom floor consists of 2 layers, OSB board and T&G chipboard. I’m laying a 1200 x 760 shower tray down on plywood but was wondering which thickness plywood I should be using? I was thinking 18mm but may need to go thinner as I need my floor tiles to cover the plywood. Not sure if there...

I am trying to find out which pump I need to add to my combi boiler to get decent pressure on a shower and bathtub in the second floor in Hackney, London. Currently it is very low and makes for a very annoying shower experience. I got Thames Water coming around and testing the pressure we are...

How can I position my shower tray waste in the center, where the hot and cold pipes are currently located? Would it be possible to place the waste pipe and trap above the hot/cold pipes, or would it be better to re-route the pipes instead?

I'm installing a shower tray and need to decide on the best location for the shower waste. I have two options: placing it in the top left, where there's a joist, or in the middle, where the hot and cold pipes are located. I haven't purchased the tray yet, so I can choose any waste location...

My shower plate is positioned close to one edge of the timber. Is this a potential issue, or should I adjust it to be more centered?

I’m in the process of rerouting hot and cold water pipes under a floor and behind a wall to connect to a shower plate. I have two options for running the pipes: 1. Option 1: Route the pipes from the floor, up behind the wall, and through the insulation to the shower plate. 2...

Hi. I've recently move into a new hose and the shower is broken. It's either to cold or to hot. I think the shower cartridge is broken. I can't find a replacement anywhere. There is no name on it. The only thing that I could find is a "serial number" 04002-01-05. Can somebody help me find a...
