My garage slab was laid without mesh so inevitably it's cracked over time. I'm looking to stabilise it. I've seen this video on YouTube and it looks like the way to go. . Except that's from India and I can't find that design of ties in the UK so I'm thinking of using standard rebar. Now I need...

Thanks to all above

Apologies for hijacking this thread but I'm in the same boat. If you want to swap out a sealed unit how do you measure the glass thickness and cavity width without removing the old one first ....you can't can you ?

Won't that crack ?

It's rented,not my premises and it's a commercial building.....and the pit is full of crap from previous tenants.It will never be used in my lifetime

My workshop has an inspection pit that isn't used.The gaps between the boards get full of dust and crap and I'd like to seal them up if possible. I was thinking of using something like Stixall multi purpose wall and floor adhesive.Do you think that would work or is there something more suitable...

Looks like the plastering hasn't been done very well

As I suspected it doesn't seal 100% so water is going to empty as it fills,not exactly ideal. Can anyone recommend a different/better one ?

Oh right.Does it work ? I'll have to try it,make sure it holds water before I carry on installing the bath. Cheers

Are you saying it's just held in position by suction from the seal of the 2 black o-rings ? It goes into the waste very easily,doesn't require any force

That's the thing,it just sits in the waste, there's nothing physically holding it in. Surely it won't hold water ?

There's nothing to hold the plug in and nothing to stop something falling down the plug hole

I bought a clicker type bath waste a few weeks back from my local merchants. Have a look at the picture,am I missing a part,it doesn't look right to me ?

I've always loosened the pipe connections just enough to lift the rad off it's bracket and lay it on the floor and then tighten the connectors.Do the decorating and then reverse. Saves a load of time and hassle.Rads will be heavy so might need 2 people

I bought a cordless drill for my bathroom renovation.It's been a godsend.Handled pretty much everything I've thrown at it.Got plenty of torque however the battery needs recharging often.Luckily I have 3 batteries,2 chargers,1 at work,1 at home..... I also have a cordless angle grinder. Will they...

I'm just wondering why you have 2 showers over the bath

13mm I reckon

You're not wrong.The 'retired' plumber who started the job,his toolbox consisted of a carrier bag of plastic push fit fittings and 2 adjustable spanners lol.Not what I was expecting,but beggars can't be choosers.... he's now buggered off to Thailand for 5 weeks !!!

They are all self employed plumbers who all come via recommendation.
