Hi. I have a couple of questions about some things I inherited in a bathroom.
First there's some boxing-in done with faced chipboard, but the fixings won't come loose - see pic below. I always thought you just turned these but they're solid and I don't know how you guys deal with them. Do I just grip them (if I can, given they're smooth and rounded) with pliers/moles or something, or is there a technique to it? Thanks.
Second question is about a shower in the bathroom - a Mira Sport fed from a header tank. Quite a decent shower by rep, I believe? It tends to be very cool with a decent flow-rate. If I turn up the temp the flow rate drops to being what I feel is below acceptable.
Am I right thinking that as it can produce a decent flow rate at low temps then it's not anything about the plumbing that's the problem, so it must be the shower's ability to heat enough water quickly, so the only solution would be to buy a higher-kW shower? Or do plumbers know of other ways to improve it? Thanks again, I do appreciate the help you guys give.
