Yep, done/doing all of this. Meticulously wipe the walls/sealant every time we use the bath/shower also. Nothing makes any difference ...

Hi all, Had nothing but problems with bathroom sealant since we had a new bathroom a couple of years ago. Tried all "recommended" sealants around the bath and it's always gone grey/black within a couple of months and no-one has any idea why. Anyway, we're now completely fed up with...

Many thanks all ... I'll get onto it! Mimi

OK, thanks, I'll do this ... but what then? How can you change the water pressure coming into the house?

I appreciate this, but how do I do it?

Of course, this was the second thing we did after contacting the company who installed our bathroom (who denied any responsibility). Mira said it was probably a water pressure problem, i.e. the water supply coming into the house, so it would not be affected by turning the water pressure tap...

Hi all, We had a new bathroom and shower fitted about a year ago and the shower has always emitted a high-pitched squealing noise from the moment it's turned on to when it's turned off. It's possible to turn the dial to lower/higher the pressure and you can find a position where it stops...

Just asked hubby ... we don't have soffit ventilation. We have two ridge (breathing) tiles and 6 venting tiles. The guy from the insulation company said that we should have done more than enough to stop condensation ... but we obviously haven't! No neighbours with similar rooves to us have...

Hi, I'm hoping someone out there can throw some light on a roof problem. We had the roof insulated in our 3 bedroomed detached 3 years ago, as well as cavity wall insulation. The roof insulation now amounts to about 14" of lagging. It's a small loft which you cannot stand up in. After...

Cheers ... will take a look. It's about the same price as the one we have though, so wondering if it's any better??

Thanks all, A modern (and pretty efficient) extractor fan is fitted to the centre of the ceiling and we also leave the window slightly open to try and keep the air circulating. It's a very small bathroom. No idea how we further improve the ventilation. Using bleach is a definite "no no"...

Hi all, We have a dilemma here. We had a new bathroom installed just over a year ago and, after a few months, the sealant around the bath started to go mouldy. The bathroom company came back to reseal it and, yet again, the problem's back after a further 3 months. We have of course been...

Many thanks. We're actually more interested in getting someone to fit one for us and I was wondering if this would be very expensive? Also, does anyone know if fitting one of these could put both our problems right? (i.e. squeaking shower/clunking noise from cold taps) Cheers

Hi all, We had a new bathroom fitted a few months ago, including a new electric shower. When the shower is turned on to the hot setting, it makes a loud squeaky sound, which you can eventually get rid of by turning it to a colder setting (annoying to say the least!). We're also getting a...

We've always had slightly "noisy" plumbing but, since we recently had our new bathroom fitted, it's got a lot worse. Whenever the cold tap is turned off/the loo flushed/the washer on, we get a very loud "clunk" noise which vibrates through the house. I understand this could be pipes banging...
