We are in the process of renewing our bathroom, it is outdated and it also smells, there is obviously a problem somewhere along the lines!
The current setup is that there is a 40mm waste pipe going from the soil pipe to the shower tray and the sink waste is connected to that pipe in the middle.
Now, this is a problem....if you fill the sink up and open the plug, water will rush both ways down the waste pipe, means you get the waste come out the shower tray!!
Also our vent pipe is in the bathroom!! with some valve on it!!? (we are going to put that outside)
Not sure if there is even a trap on the shower tray.. its a mess anyway..I have no intention of fixing it, we will just replace it all.
First off, I was going to give the bath and the sink its own 40mm waste pipe going to the soil pipe, is that the better way to do this?
What do people do to try and keep a gradient on the bath waste pipe? I assume being 'flat' is a no no, as the water could sit in the pipe and drain back into the U bend?
