Blue plugs come included with the waste or individual appliance nossle you can buy.

I've got a raised shower in my ensuite (late 90's build) with waste sitting about into the Soil stack. Refit will definitely be involving waste being dropped into the floor voids if it's possible. Are plumbers becoming more confident with these newer techniques or could these had been done when...

Off topic but just put a watersoftner into my utility, I can barely get my hand in there with the finished job but the Mcapline stuff saves the day reconstructing the waste around pipes. Learnt a lot about solvent weld as well, I've done my bathroom this year but only with swept tees and a tee...

Not possible John im afraid. I've found the Mcalpine SSk1 that now means I can move the p trap away from under the sink and it has appliance outlets for the WM and Sink overflow. I'll need to run tee off for the boiler condensate.

My Brains actually turning into salt thinking about how to sort plumbing. I have zero space in the cabinet. Im seeking help on what pipe runs to do for; 1 x water softener drainage 40mm (Got air gap for top of pipe) 2 x Sink overflow 3. Washing machine drainage (Both sink and this were on...

I have a back to wall britton shoreditch giving me issues. The pan is slightly unlevel, it's fixed fine there and won't wobble with a 2mm packer. When I screw in the WC can be moved/rocked out of place. Is this normal as it dosnt feel it is. Will the silicon around do the base eventually...

Made a major f up on my tiles layout for my first DIY job, I failed and won't go into the gory details but I think i know why it went wrong. I'm back to square one now. I've managed to get the tiles off before the adhesive cured but some of the (Abacus) cement sections on the tilebacker has...

I used abacus backer board and used the evostick tanking kit. Its taken a while which is why your builder probably isnt doing it. I aint taking any risks as its my first project so might be over cautious and wasting time/mpney but dont want the aggro. If hes sealed between the boards you are...

I had tile and screed on chipboard in a my bathroom. I used a herzo dust shroud with vac and diamond grinding disc to remove it all https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/357121775460 I then found that I had loads of bulges in the chipboard so levelled it off with a screed for the next mug in 20 years to...

Can't tile fully under the bath now, I will be doing a tile panel and plan on tanking the bottom of the bath. It was a 90's plastic cover before and never had issues to be fair though.

Im going to be putting some 60x60 tiles down arriving that are a terrazzo pattern This is just the floor space, bath will be in the 170 length section alcoved with pipe boxing and the Door will be in the bottom right corner. WC will be in the left corner section (centred to that bit) The...

Im thinking about going epoxy in my bathroom new retile.

I did facias/soffit capping last summer myself and i dreaded it being hard to do and coming out looking like rubbish, i thought based on the price of the UPVC i'd punt it and seeing this i'm mega proud now! Which was on ladders and a hire tower for most of it. That amount of upfront cash is not...

Its unvented pressure isnt the issue

I have a bath filler and im really not sure its going to be decent enough pressure for filling a bath. Its a scudo with valve. Lots of other oems using this design as well if it helps...
