    Electric shower taking a while to cool

    I have a strange problem with my Mira Sport electric shower. When I first turn it on its hot, even at the coldest setting. I have to let it run for a while, hear a thunk from the pipes under the floorboards and the cooler water comes with a bit more pressure. Seems toe it's not full pressure at...

    Shower Screen Leak

    I've just recently moved in to a house and water is leaking under the shower screen, then running under the bath and on to the floor. Water marking is visible on the roof of the room below the bath. Has the sealant been done incorrectly? What can I do to rectify this? I've attached some images...

    Fill void under shower tray former

    My recently installed solid resin shower tray / wet room former has around 4mm flex across a dinner plate sized area in the middle. It's on a concrete base that was unevenly screeded over. The gap will likely be under 10mm. It has not yet been tanked or tiled but would be a pain to entirely...

    Acceptable workmanship?

    Good morning everyone, We purchased a new build property and have had problems with our showing draining ever since we moved in. The plumbing contractor who carried out the work had been to our property during our warranty period and said there were no installation issues and a build-up of hair...

    Dodgy Shower

    I have moved home and not impressed with the way the shower is working. The house has a combi boiler and a thermo mixer shower. Is there something I can fit, like a sort of priority valve, so that the hot water feed to the shower always gets fed even to the point of nothing else gets fed if the...

    Aqualisa Quartz shower problems

    Hi all, Thanks for the help. We've got an aqualisa quartz dual outlet on a combi system. It's been in for over a year and it's decided to not produce any water... I'm happy it might be a professional job, but if there's any top tips or quick fixes to try that stops me wasting someone's time...

    Hi, looking for some advise. I have a Mira Decor electric shower, couple of years old now. In the winter everything is fine. When the weather gets better the shower appears to have a fault. The top dial controls the setting (high, medium, low) and the lower dial the temperature of the water...

    Shower, boost pump odd noise

    My Duraspeed pump has started to make a strange noise when water is drawn (I don't think I can upload an audio file here). It was already installed when we moved in last year and may have given up the ghost after battling with an air lock in the system? Any help would be gratefully received.

    Potential leak from shower valve, or is water penetrating grout?

    Shower pipes are wrong way round

    We have had shower tiles, cubicle and shower replaced and when plumber fitted the bar mixer valve, discovered the hot water pipe is on the right not left. He's fitted the valve upside down but it looks rubbish and the hose is all kinked as it come out of the top instead of bottom. Are there any...

    Tanking on tile backer board

    Hi I'm going to tile a shower cubicle in an ensuite. One wall of the shower cubicle is hardboard, so I'm thinking I'll need a backer board, so the tiles have a decent surface to adhere too. If I use a backer board, will I still need to tank this wall? The backer boards are supposedly...

    Tiling bathroom wall in shower/bath area

    My builders have plyed the area to be tiled surrounding a bath with shower. I understand that it is good practice not to tile direct onto the ply. Should I use a base of cement board (Hardiebacker?) with a waterproof membrane applied or use a decoupling membrane like Ditra? I'm assuming any...

    Replacing a shower hose

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to replace a shower hose however I cannot find a shower hose that fits my bath tap. The end that connects to the bath tap appears to be different from those which are generally sold, and I don't even know what it's called. I have attached an image of the end that goes...

    Anyone used Rearo "Selkie" Shower Panels? Any good?

    Thinking of using these Rearo "Selkie" brand shower panels for a bathroom re-furb. I've been told that the cheaper hollow-core shower panels can be fragile and easily dented. As this is going to be a rental property a robust solution is needed. Wondering if anyone has used this make of panel...

    Is it normal for a shower to drip for a period occasionally?

    Hi, We recently had a new bathroom fitted which also involved a new shower. I've noticed that the shower occasionally will suddenly drip for a few moments (maybe 10 seconds, maybe longer), despite water not being used. It only happens from time to time (maybe a couple of times a week) and...
