    Shower arm leaking

    Hi there, Hopefully someone will be able to help me….. I have what I believe is a pura shower arm which has recent started leaking from the fitting which is really no wonder when you compare the weight of the shower arm (let alone the additional weight of the shower head) to the tiny female...

    Shower on/off dial - how to open?

    The on/off handle fell off my shower. I can hear a screw rattling around inside. I've unscrewed 4 small threaded parts and tried to unscrew the front part off the main body to no avail. Its sat in oil over night which didn't make much difference. I can stick an allen key through one of the small...

    I am currently converting a van and about to do the plumbing. I bought a tap that extends 1.5m which I am going to use as a shower head. The issue is, I wanted a tap with a stop button but the tap I got has a pause button instead, meaning to stop the flow of water I have to hold down the button...

    Crumbling brick/plasterboard behind leaking shower

    Hi Recently our bathroom shower has been leaking water into the hallway below (just a tiny bit of water randomly not everytime we shower). This happened over a year ago and we had a guy redo the sealant and it stopped. Today I finally got round to redoing the sealant. But as I started to remove...

    Bath Shower Mixer - Pull-up vs Lever Diverter?

    After a few months, the diverter on a Swirl bath shower mixer tap is failing (28552). I'm wary of spending more on a brand name (Bristan) to experience similar issues. SWMBO likes the victorian style mixer taps which invariably use a lever to switch between bath/shower, I'm not fussed... My...

    I am proposing to install a washing machine in a 1st floor cupboard, behind which is an electric shower. The cold water feed (mains) for the shower rises through the cupboard (old airing cupboard). Can I tee off this for the washing machine feed without loss of pressure? Is there a minimum...

    Hi, I have zero experience with plumbing but need to plumb a simple system to a water tank in my van conversion. I need the shower and sink to plumb to the same tank. I bought a shower waste drain online but the pipe connection is 46mm and I am not sure what size pipe is supposed to go into...

    Replacing Jaquar Shower Diverter Valve

    This is driving me bonkers! I have a Jaquar shower mixer unit - which has started to leak from the diverter cartridge. I think it's an early Florentine model circa 2006 though not 100% sure. I've removed the faceplate, unscrewed the chrome collar - and now want to extract the diverter...

    Best way to seal these gaps?

    Evening all, I’m wondering what the best way would be to seal the two gaps at either end of the shower tray, between the upstand, the screen and the tiled wall. There isn’t much space so silicone is near on impossible but I’m conscious it needs doing in some way to stop water ingress. Maybe...

    Commercial - Electric vs Mixed Shower

    Hi all! I'm looking to open a commercial fitness space in London which will have 2 shower rooms (one shower in each room). Currently there's only toilets and sinks so would be creating showers from nothing. I'm being told electric will be easier and cheaper to install. But every electric...
