Sounds frustrating. I dont know the answer but your post in Chat GPT gives the below response. It may be useless, or one of the points may help, i dont know. AI: Here are some less obvious but technically plausible causes that can create persistent foaming in a Siemens dishwasher, even with...

Halfway under the door is the norm

Yes, you need isolating valves on the inlet and outlet of macerators i believe, to allow for servicing and maintenance. Some makes dont honour warranty unless they are fitted. 32mm solvent weld ball valve would be what you need, or a compression alternative

Looks good

Use the stars printed on the side of speedfit pipe to see how far they should insert into the fitting. Dont forget pipe inserts see below link: https://www.plumbworld.co.uk/documents/john-guest-speedfit-plumbing-connection-data-sheet.pdf

I am talking about approaching from the bedroom side, not from the ensuite side - not suggesting removing any tiles at all. Is it upstairs? Wetroom upstairs not the best idea, prone to leaks. Consider replacing with a shower tray. Best to get a wetroom specialist/bathroom fitter&tiler to...

Ensure a solid base with joists and framing/noggins. Ensure the plinth is solidly supported without any give, before you start the tray installation. also have a look at this:

Assume nothing. If there is plasterboard visible there behind the tiles, its unlikely that they would have put backerboard on top of plasterboard. Also the depth the valve is through the board looks like no backerboard involved There are ways of finding out: - remove a fitting (valve front...

I'm afraid if your ensuite tiles are onto plasterboard you need to look at removal of these and replacement with a proper tile backerboard system that is correctly tanked & waterproofed. Otherwise the leak will reoccur

Thread hijack yet again by Notch. It's about AR in case you didnt notice. Starmer just wants her to be seen to be OK again so a left winger is around for leadership(!) when he gets kicked out...

All the Northern Irish who say they support Palestine are communists who are all on the dole and live on handouts from the British government. The Irish Reps are not much different. As you say Filly, making fools of themselves

This is what happens when you tile onto plasterboard. If thats what is behind your tiles, I wouldnt waste time repairing that section, rip them all out and redo the whole shower enclosure

Like Joe Biden ?

Oi! AI Overview Yorkshire Water and Southern Water have distinct differences in environmental performance, with Yorkshire Water generally having a better environmental record. Southern Water has a higher average water bill and a poorer recent record on pollution incidents, although it is...
