Hello, I'm about to start building my Ensuite. 1 wall is stud and plasterboard, so my intention is to acrylic primer then tile straight onto it. The other 3 walls are going to be back to bare brick. Tiling over this will be a pain, as its bound to be uneven. But i'm wondering what is the best...

It arrived today but was another basin waste. The seals looked better and it was longer so I decided to try it anyway. It doesn't leak, so I suppose that's a plus but it doesn't look right in the bath and it will leave a small amount of water surrounding the plug. I'm going to leave it for now...

I possibly could have, I did ask but he wasn't that sure, for the cost I guess it doesn't matter and its worth one last shot. I could probably use it on another basin or something.

I've just called them an ordered. But I fear it will dimensionally be correct at 1.5" but actually be a 1 1/4 BSP thread which will be infact smaller.

You are indeed correct. I'll call them now, thank you.

A got the bath from a high end house renovator in london and it was on its own. I have spoken to somebody that makes/imports stone baths to UK and he has the wastes custom made. The one you linked is a basin waste again so 1 1/4. More importantly the flange is 60mm rather than 70. I have...

Hello, Thanks both for the suggestions. That looks like it could/would work, but we wanted the pop up style, this bath was incredibly expensive, and that plug would somewhat detract. I tried the company that imported these baths and they couldn't help. I'm not sure if this bath was a complete...

Hello, I have a stone (travetine) bath, but I have no waste for it. Standard won't work. It needs to look like a basin waste but be 1 1/2 inch rather than 1 1/4. I managed to find this...

Looks great, Although this would bug me like crazy that the tiles aren't following the pattern, I see why you did it though.

A good read, will look great when finished.

Bathroom pretty much completed We went for a door on the shower. Also we have the large head and a wall mounted "flip" shower or something from Mira. Altogether we get 35lpm flow rate from both showers. This causes an issue for the "high flow" (or not) waste. You simply have to turn one...

We now had a fantastic flow rate and pressure, over 40LPM straight out of the 32mm pipe. With this I order a boiler. I went for an unvented hot water tank and decided to mount it in the cellar. With all the pipework in place I started to ring plumbers to come and connect it. You need a ticket...

Thankyou, I haven't update this often. Back to the outside. Rear of the house now rendered in monocouche. I didn't apply the render. But I did "rub it up". I left it till the next day, on instructions from the manufacturer. What a mistake, I've since learnt an early start and rub up on the...

Its all about, taking your time, doing prior research and just having a go in my opinion. Just have a go, although electrics and plumbing if you're unsure at all get help! These type of tiles I dreaded, but they are by far the easiest out of them all. If you have bad walls or don't think you...

Downstairs toilet ceiling up Boarder skirting Back to the upstairs, I used a BAL tanking kit, before tiling I wasn't sure if to go staggered or normal. I went staggered. But this was MUCH harder due to the wall not been totally flat. (remember this is my first go at wall...
