Thanks for all your responses! I'm having second thoughts about wood for a top now so looking at a laminate. It looks like there's quite a few IKEA sinks that will fit the depth constraints for the sink. They also offer a service called UNDER-GLUING where inset sinks are glued in place -...

Hi, thanks for the tips! I hadn't considered a ceramic butler sink before but this might well be better than what I was thinking. I'll take a look. One particular limitation for the sink is caused by the height of the drainpipe from the floor. I live in a highrise block, and the drainpipe...

Hi, I'm planning on replacing my kitchen counters with a solid walnut (stave) worktop and a new sink. I like the look of flush fitting sinks and my worktop supplier has said they can do CNC cutting for this kind of fitting but I'm worried that this type of fitting might not be suitable for...

Hello, I'm hoping to turn the cupboard next to my bathroom into a utility room for my washing machine. The basin in the bathroom is mounted on the far wall from the cupboard with a pretty chrome bottle trap so I was hoping to plumb the waste from the washing machine to the bath instead -...

Thanks Rob. Just what I needed!

Hi, I'm fitting a mixer tap with a shower hose to the bath in my flat. The cold is from a mains supply and the hot from a gravity fed supply with through an instant water heater. The cold is about 4bar and the hot 1bar (or less). This will be the only mixer tap so far in my flat (though...
