White upvc fascia is easy to cut and quite flexi.If you run a knife down the back in the places you want to bend it should work. I have used it on a quadrant shower before.

Can't see the pic's very well but the months are about right for woodworm beetle but they don't normally grow to 10mm more like 5mm.

I see what you mean !

That has an air gap of at least 50mm.

Can you swap the trap for a double appliance trap and use one for W/M and one for overflow ...

If you don't want to remove the taps then silicone will do the job but removal would be the proper way to go.

If you can get 2ft of pipe to play with then clamp the end or hammer it flat and bend it over on itself a few times un til the water stops.You can then freeze the pipe before the flattened part then cut and put a fitting on.I used to have a lead pipe clamp that consisted of two pieces of metal...

You can get compression fittings for lead (or wipe a joint) but if you've damaged the pipe then it won't fit on.So clamp,freeze,cut it cleanly and put on a lead fitting to copper then a stop end.

It will need clamping and freezing.....get a plumber.

Depends who taught you then ? My foreman MANY years ago always told me hot on the inside and their are hundreds of baths plumbed in like that by me and my fellow plumbers on a huge new town build.Perhaps it's changed since the late 70's but this is the way i will stick to.

Hot should always be on the inside of the bath to stop toddlers scalding.

cut the pipes,use two elbows,two lengths of pipe and two flexi's.Push fit will do if you don't want to use solder or compression. Extend the waste with a piece of pipe but you may need to cut the vertical bit of waste so as the elbow sitis on the floor boards and that will give you a good fall...

You could leave the bath where it is and just put the shower the opposite end ?

I would think you have a very small weep somewhere if it takes that long to drop.

I've known many a joint hold water until the flux melts............then:( Have you fired up the Rayburn yet ?

The water might be from around the outside of the pipe and not inside ? If so check the flashing around the pipe.

It only takes a small leak over a period of time to drop the pressure so check out all the rad valves first.Also check out the blow off pipe(prv) that terminates outside.It could be the expansion vessel but check for leaks first.

Another bodge job by so called plumbers/heating engineers. The 15mm is probably the cold mains but who knows ?

It's approved for use on gas.

You needed one of these (bomb) or they would not work and a lot of people left them out.
