shower

I have just had a boiler, hot water tank and power shower pump replaced on advice by my plumber. I have two separate boilers, heat/hotwater systems in the house. This boiler was replaced by a combi boiler as it only heats the lounge and master bed and provides hot water to en-suite bathroom and...

For about 5 years we have a 2 bar positive head shower pump located on our attic floor which feeds a shower in the bathroom below. The cold water tank is above the pump and hot water is fed from a cylinder on the floor below the attic. Over the past year or so the delay for the pump kicking in...

Hi all, We've had this older Bristan shower tap from the previous owner. I unfortunately can't find the exact model, but it looks something like a Bristan Artisan. The closest matching image online I found is here (also attaching image below), with the difference that we don't have the red...

So, I (almost fully) installed a new bathroom a few months ago and all has been fine. Until a few days ago I noticed some water on the floor in the kitchen below following a shower. It was apparent this had come from above and has happened again since. Only when the shower has been used. I...

Hi all, I noticed there was a swelling of the bottom of my inner door jamb preventing me from shutting the door of one of the bedrooms. The door frame itself backs onto a wall, the other side of which is my en suite shower. I couldn't detect any leak for the swollen wood, carpet is dry, no...

I installed a Victoria Plumb shower about ten years ago, and it has intermittently started running cold. I believe that there is a thermostat inside the temperature control tap but I can't see any way to get it off. The other two taps have small holes with Allen bolts inside them, but this one...

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on a plumbed shower not working in our main bathroom. When we turn the shower on in the ensuite bathroom which is near the main bathroom then the shower does work. The former owner mentioned, when we asked about it, that there is an air lock and by running the...

Heya, I am rennovating my bathroom and decided to rip everything out as it was a bit of a disaster before... I need to rebuild the stud walls for the shower. In the attached photo, the shower cubical comes a bit further out than the brick wall on the left (yellow lines) My question is: is it...

I fitted a 45A switch for an electric shower, within a year the switch has failed and I've replaced it but found the old one has bulged around the Load N line. Any ideas what can cause this or am I using the wrong switch, it's not a powerful shower just a basic mira. When I removed it the screws...

Hi - I recently got a new shower installed in my flat (late 1960s council flat, on the 4th floor which is the top floor) - the Crosswater MPRO shower with a 200mm fixed shower head and one handheld attachment. The cold water flow rate for the flat is 8 litres per minute and the hot water flow...

I am currently doing a bathroom renovation and decided on fitting a Merlyn Level 25 stone resin shower tray. In the instructions, the first thing they get you to do is check that there isn't an excessive bow on all four sides. They do this by getting you to prop up the tray on four blocks of...

Hi, Looking to add a new shower over bath, shower bath, sink, toilet. I keep seeing things like "don't use Victoria plumb" So what are good brands/places to look for/go to, don't want cheapest just recommended good value midrange? Thanks

I have this http://cifial.co.uk/black-780th/ which is now 3 years old. Last Thursday it stopped working and tripped the circuit board. Plumber installed a new like-for-like pump (Salamander CT50+XTRA) and got the shower working again. On Saturday morning it failed to work. I left the small head...

Planning to put a room in ground floor partly encompassing understairs cupboard with new toilet, sink and shower in. Want to get it signed off by building regs. Is there a minimum size the room needs to be for this according to building regulations?

I have a dead 1990s Triton T70 shower and, for purposes of replacement, I'd like to know if it's mains or gravity fed. I have no desire to repair it and, as it won't even switch on, I cannot get any water out of it so I can't just switch off water at mains and see if water still flows from the...

Hi, I have a telephone style shower head, which rests on antlers on the mixer tap. The porcelein handle spins round now which means you can't control the direction of the shower head. Can this be fixed please? TIA

Morning all, I'll try and keep this quick. Had an old Titan shower that started tripping the RCD when on the hot setting, so instantly swopped out the whole shower as it had to be the heating element.... The new replacement shower has worked for around 10days and is now tripping the RCD again on...

Hi I'm a local handyman who does the odd bit of plumbing (changing taps, resealing showers) etc. A customer has an issue with a linear shower drain which appears to have gaps on the side between the tile work and the stainless steel trap. Hopefully you can see the attached video. Any thoughts on...

A family member recently had a loft tank system replaced with a combi - old house. The pressure in her bathroom is now very poor, pressure in the kitchen is fine - it's a very small house so these rooms are 1 wall apart. I noticed when fitting her kitchen there are multiple cold mains coming in...

Morning I'm planning on tiling the shower area with small porcelain mosaic tiles (several on backing sheet). I have plastered walls so unsure how to treat/prepare the plaster prior to applying waterproof adhesive and tiles. Is their a sealant for this or do I use something like PVA?. Appreciate...
