I haven't logged in a while! Shower still functioning without any leaks. I've probably jinxed it now :D

Small update in case it's of use to anyone spotting this thread in the future. The BAL Max-Flex Tile Adhesive worked a treat. However buried in the instructions on the BAL Micromax2 Grout it says "Do not use shower for at least 2 weeks after completion of grouting". This was a deal breaker...

Thanks for the advice - I rang up the BAL support line and they advised the following; BAL Max-Flex Fibre C2TS1 Tile Adhesive BAL Micromax2 CG2WA Grout + additive BAL Admix GT1

Something similar to this polishing powder might work? Lots of elbow grease required if polishing by hand, so buffing pads that attach to a drill are advised

I'm re-grouting the floor on the wet room as the grout had cracked and water was getting through especially around the drain area. Would someone be able to advise on a suitable adhesive or cement to use to re-fix a few 1" marble mosaic tiles in a wet room. I was thinking that maybe OB1...

Umm, I'm slightly confused... Before I put in a Hive, I had a EPH timer. Wires #1, #2, #5 (downstairs heating channel) and #7 (upstairs heating channel) were the only ones used. After putting in a Hive Single channel receiver, I had connected EPH #5 to Hive #3. I can now control my...

Yes, that is exactly what I was thinking. Not ideal (or standard practice) to not have thermostatic control, but since the 30 min or 60 min boost is used it won't be a problem.

I have a Greenstar 36CDi combi boiler with a Hive (single channel) thermostat. There are two circuits, downstairs & upstairs - the Hive controls downstairs and it works correctly. We don't use the heating that much upstairs, maybe boost it for 30 mins every now and then. I presume I could...

Plumber is planning on also pumping the cold feed to the shower. So the hot and cold feed pressures to the shower will be balanced (at 2 bar)
