Simple question. Sealant round our tiled floor to brickwork in our conservatory has gone. I guess with the extreme heat and cold winters its cracked and disappeared. Now we have literally thousands of ants coming through...bloody pests even with ant powder they still return. See picture...

Thanks Lectrician. Ivixor not sure what exactly your trying to say apart from don't use an electric shower? I do see what your saying though water and electricity are not a match made in heaven eh!

Really? So over time this isn't too much. Think this is 10mm so was worried about melting due to the kink? Is this something I should check after a month and if so what should I look out for. .. apart from an obv scorched cable or sign of splitting sheath?

Hello. I have what seems like a pretty basic electric question. I'm replacing an electric shower 8.5kw and the terminal block is slightly lowerthan the last and hence have excess cable. Now I know that I should probably trim the excess but incase I ever replace the shower again I would...

So got hold of the Triton Enrich from screwfix (thanks Hugh for the link) at £50 is seems worth it but as Agile says perhaps it wont last ...time will tell. I've installed this will not too much of a problem - biggest issue was trying to get the O compression ring jammed up the old shower...

Huge and others, Thanks for the advise. As the triton shower from screw fix was only £50 I opted to go for that as replacement parts would prob be more costly and time sourcing etc. sounds from reviews on score fix that this is a decent shower...looks like I might get away with a straight...

Stivino, Yes was thinking to hack saw that off but it's actually quite thick....not like cheap plastic or thin metals ones you get now. Texash, I've seen those too but few were for 25mm rails...I measured my existing one and seems to be 15mm...and...I assume you need to be able to get the top...

So no luck with the vinegar or heating it up, still wont budge. Only hope is finding the Replacement part if someone knows what its called. otherwise its going to have to be getting One of the shower head suction holders which seem to be cheap enough and just forget about the riser rail completely.

Hello, Just had a scary experience with a few sparks flying out the bottom of my 5 year old triton t80 electric 9.5kw shower. They appear when you switch it on but also when its operating i think...didnt want to try too long. They appeared near the shower hose outlet. When I took off the...

Thanks, have just stuck it in warm water and vinegar now and let's see. I tried heating it up over a gas flame but that didn't work yesterday. Will try this after the vinegar! .....don't have a vice :( so will have to user 2 wrenches. ..even thought about trying to hack saw it off but...that...

So I thought changing the shower hose on my electric shower would be a 3 min task - wrong! My shower head has some sort of extension/attachement elbow (as best I can describe it) with a hook that allows it to sit on the riser rail and the hose screws into this attachment - water passing...
