To follow up in case it helps others: I put a drain snake in 7m and started lifting covers up outside. Could not suss out how the drains worked. Had a look at a few houses nearby and noticed they had a small square drain cover which i didnt seem to have. The previous owners had decided our...

I see, so maybe it's gradually getting blocked then the weight of the water frees the blockage and the cycle continues until blockage is removed? Thank you, I'll start investigating.

Hello, looking for threads to pull at for diagnosing our problem. 20 year old 'new build'. Downstairs WC starts to drain slowly. Over the course of a week the water will not drain and it gets to the top of the pan. Run the sink in same room when WC is blocked and it also won't drain. If I...

Thanks for the swift response Ken; I can sleep easy tonight. I will remove the two top blocks, clean them up and rebed them in. There is currently nothing on the top block. Is it worth my putting some sort of angle bracket or tie from the brick to the block to give it some strength. Can't...

Forgive me if I use the wrong terminology here; I have a detached single garage, 13 years old, single skin brick with a row of vertical 'breeze blocks' halfway down each long side. I'm assuming there are metal ties from the single brick to the breeze blocks, to strengthen the wall. My issue...

Years a ago I spent an age and a small fortune treating my decking with the proper stuff for it to only last a year. Now I slap some fence paint on it in spring and again mid summer and it always looks good, only takes an hour to do and costs peanuts.

Went through with cutting the bath. 6 hours later and I'm pleased with the result. (Looks worse in the pictures, you can't tell IRL) Couldn't have done it without a Dremel, anything else would have made a mess, and thanks for the heads up on the mask, definitely a messy job. Last few bits to...

Right I'll get one ordered, will probably be a legally different 'rotory multi tool' but I'm sure they all do the same thing. Thanks to you and everyone else who contributed to the thread.

Might be an excuse for a new tool then. What is about the Dremel tool you like for this type of job? I haven't used one before but I'm guessing they would be less aggressive with the cut? Would you use one of the thin cutting discs or any other bit/technique?

I don't have a Dremel but I do have a multitool and an angle grinder. The angle grinder with a cutting disc might be ok but I do find it a bit unwieldy, and it's not got an adjustable speed setting. The multitool might be a bit more forgiving. I'll try and set up a guide somehow which should...

The problem with doing that is that it also lifts the ends up, off the frame, the gap is also then too big at the ends. The bath is solidly fixed now, I think changing its position now will be problematic. Why do you say trimming the bath or panel is not an option? Or is it just not a good option?

I have just found more info confirming the panel should sit flush with the lip.

Yes that's right. (And sides)

The bath, front panel and shower screen were bought as a package from plumbworld.co.uk. I think it was called Ceramica, however I have just Googled the number that's on the panel (wbb200) and it's come up with the Nuie brand. Attached should be a picture of the top corner of the panel and one...

yea, ive checked others, it sits flush. now im confused as well...:D
