shower

Hi all Some advice if possible. I fitted a new shower yesterday (Mira ERD Realm) thermostatic type at a clients house. Very pleased with the flow rate BUT it could be hotter. After flushing and commissioning I left the shower to run on full power ( lever turned up completely anti clockwise. I...

Hello all, I'm at my wits end... I have fairly recently taken the plunge and re fitted my entire bathroom. I should probably add at this point that I am not a plumber and before I undertook this mammoth task I had no plumbing experience whatsoever. I hope that this has not now let me down at...

Hi! I live in rented accommodation and have an issue with my bath not draining quickly enough. I’ve taken off the trap and checked for blockages and there isn’t anything there. Also pushed a drain cleaner down the waste pipe and nothing obvious in the way. I did notice that the although the...

I have a leak from shower, the leak comes out on the ceiling though, so it's damaged the plasterboard ceiling. I presume there is a pipe running from the showeraomg this ceiling and so the leak could be anywhere from shower onwards. I've confirmed the tray is ok, and resealed again, looked...

Hello, I have a question regarding the safety of my shower. The other day, the power to the shower went off as I was just finishing using it. Then the trip switch for it at the box refused to stay in the on position. I informed my landlord and he said he would take a look, I hoped he would get...

I want to replace my loose shower bracket, but I don't know how to take it off the rail. Can someone please teach me how to remove the shower brackets?

Hey Guys! First post so please go gentle. I have recently moved into a property needing some medium/heavy cosmetic work and I am a very keen DIY'er, will get my hands dirty on any job. I just need a little guidance. I want to add a shower to the ground floor WC. I am fairly comfortable with...

So I have the above boiler and it works fine. I’ve always had to run the bathroom tap on hot to get the shower to go hot. I’ve replaced the diaphragm in the water valve - the top was very rusty so I also replaced the stuffing box. On putting it back together I could see the little rod was...

Hi. We currently have a mains fed water tank in the loft, a vaillant thermocompact system boiler in the downstairs utility room, and a copper immersion tank on the upstairs airing cupboard. The boiler heats the hot water and stores in the copper boiler until required. The boiler also heats the...

I got a call from home to say they couldn't turn off the shower.... Its a Grohe Rapido with the shower/bath diverter kit (Allure etc). Is this likely to be the cartridge needing replacing ? It doesn't look too tricky to do from the instructions, but I don't want to waste (quite a lot of) money...

Hello and thank you for reading this message. Our hot water cylinder has no manufacturer name on it so I cannot find a manual. The system is fed directly from the mains with new gas condenser boiler, cylinder, and container above the cylinder looking like a pressure cylinder. The system feeds 2...

I see this issue is not a new one, but I have a variable that I wanted to check with you guys before I do anything. I've just moved into a house share, and the room has an en suite shower that has apparently never worked. There is a very slow trickle with the mixer turned to hot, and sometimes...

Context is problems with shower. Starts warm, then goes cold and repeats. Have also noticed hot top also does this. I think the HW flow rate is too low. I thought at first maybe just crappy mains pressure, but noticed that hot water flow rate much lower than cold and so maybe boiler heat...

Bear with me, this is a long story: This the 5th time I've had this work done, and no body seems to know the cause. I have a bath mounted shower, which comes off a bath mixer tap which come from the floor. (THERES NO PIPES IN THE WALL). This was all originally fitted with new tiles after I...

Hi, my mixer shower appears to drip from hose and very slowly from the shower head when it is turned off. I changed the hose but when I unscrewed it to take it off an awful lot of water came out of the bar. Is this normal? The new hose is on and its fitted correctly but after a few hours a large...

I'm hoping to get a new shower enclosure but will be keeping existing tray. There will be some damage to the tray/tile seal when the old enclosure is removed can I just repair with extra sealant or would the advice be to replace the old seal completely before going ahead and fitting new...

I have a shower running off bath mixer taps (i.e. not an electric shower) and for the last few weeks it has been driving me insane... hot water has been intermittent and water pressure is terrible. Plumbers can't figure out what is causing the problem. What happens is this: when I turn on the...

So my new bath is in, and I've given myself the job of tiling the bathroom. It's an acrylic L-shaped shower bath, one wall is newly plastered and the other (where the shower will be mounted) is a stud wall with Hardiebacker board: New bath by jwilf posted 13 Jan 2019 at 6:14 PM I'm using flat...

Hi, I have installed a wall plate elbow (see attached the only photo I have of this) for shower hose elbow outlet, but the problem I have is that after 10mm WP board+grout and tile (assume 15mm WCS), the elbow will be short of the tile outer edge by 10-15mm. This will be an issue as how would I...

Hi folks, Just wondering if I could get a little advice before going down the wrong rabbithole. We have an Aqualisa Digital Visage shower, about 2.5 years old. Just in case it matters, it had a faulty power board/supply replaced about a year ago as it was not turning on on a warm day...
