Can anyone tell me which way is round,i would have thought rough side to the front for the adhesive to grab to, but there are conflicting views, some say smooth side,does it depend on manufacturer?

You just need the right technique with the sealing tape.
Loctite 55 (string stuff) is best.
what is the best technique? and dont say get a plumber in :-D
I also think part of the problem is the specs say 40mm exposed past back plate,when in fact there is only 32mm
I can see the picture in my post,its in my albums if you wouldnt mind having a look,i'd appreciate it
I dont think that tap extenders thread is long enough-from the backplate to end of the thread is only 40mm
Thanks for that, the problem being the arm has a cover plate, and my concern would be that i tighten it up and it ends being on the pee when its tight?
Plus i dont want to scratch the front face of the tiles when turning it round to secure if that makes sence?

Remeber the doors will need fixing in the head of the frame so make sure the new lintol is fixed in place correctly.
I'd look into ready mix screed m8,I've just laid 36m2 @ 100mm on a similar job. I told the batching plant what it was for and they sorted the strength out-it had loads of fibres in it which help the screed maintain its strength. Compared with how much it cost against how long it would take to...
if you dont fancy dot n dab, there is a "new" product that comes in a can- a bit like expanding foam it apparently has enough to stick 2 x 8'x4' sheets, never tried it but might be worth a try?
Make sure your wall is free from any loose bits of old paper etc before using any adhesive.
If the door has dropped then its best that the glass is re-packed. This should be done with plastic pckers that you can find at a diy store or local builders merchants. Take the bead out and using a blunt wood chisel(unless you have a proper plastic tool) insert between the glass and the...
