Hello, great forum. I have 2 questions i'd like to have advice on if possible please.
Firstly, I am fitting a new bathroom suite for my sister on Wednesday, and the old bath was a standard 1700 x 700 mm. The new one is just shorter in length at 1690mm. So I am going to have a 10mm gap from the wall. The bath goes from an external wall to the airing cupboard at the other end. What can I do to fill the approx 10mm gap, from your experience what is the easiest option? I plan to also re-tile the bathroom, around the bath area and above the basin, as it currently already is.
My second query is, at my house we have a cast iron soil stack (painted black). we have a 2 pipe waste system, with the bath/basin water running via a hopper head down into the gulley.
The soil stack, where the WC connection branches in at a 45degree angle, has a very small drip. Is there any quickish/cheaper way to fix this without having as whole new stack fitted? I do not know how this started, we just noticed it last week and it is a little annoying.
Thanks for your help everyone, and I'd be very thankful for any advice on my 2 queries.
All the best.
