I needed to change the out let position for a concealed shower from handheld coming out the bath to wall outlet. I managed to cause minimum damage and fit an aqualisa push fit shower wall outlet as per picture. It had a rubber o ring like a speedfit fitting but no grab ring or anything, so you...

Exactly, plus I’m not a complete dummy I’ve just not seen a screen where the adjustment is 760 plus and not 760 minus. Thought I was going mad

Almost everything is made in China and re sold .... that ain’t my point. Should a normal 760 door adjust down to allow for tray Mekong under tiles etc?

I’m fully aware that Williams are a merchant. What I meant was it’s their brand. Advantage .... is williams home brand .... like centre brand is plumb centres home brand. It’s not an 800mm. It has 760mm on the box, with 20mm adjustment, but the frame at its smallest is 760mm. Think I need to...

They are the manufacture, it’s a williams advantage one. I’ve never known a door to adjust upwards..... what would be the point of a door adjusting up past the tray size??? But now it’s got me second guessing what I’ve brought before. A 760 door should fit a 760 tray - the 30mm lost under tiles...

I fitted a 760 shower tray that went under each side of the wall, leaving the opening for the door 725mm. I had a 760mm door that said it adjusted down to 724mm...... However the actual door and frame, with the channels tight was 760mm..... aonwould only be able to be adjusted wider. Shop...

I’d rather not use something that’s going to be rubbish made for DIYers This ain’t my job obviously but I am a tradesman so rather it be a better job. What would you use?

Yeah I saw SBR, mix 1 part sbr 1 part water and cement. I didn’t know whether or not there was a pre mixed powder.

Oh I meant a slurry primer/adhesive bond

Hello I have purchased Porcelain tiles and don’t know how to prime them? Is the Slurry mix a powdered adhesive? Or is it a liquid you add to cement? Need to pick some up later or tomorrow so if anyone knows if wicks or similar sell .... thanks

Evening, I am a plumber, I’ve replaced a shower tray which requires a tile repair. Same tile not an issue but the tiles I’m trying to match appear to be 232mm wide x 331mm long? Can someone tell me if there was a common size tile around this size, about 20 years old ans where I could get some...

If only I could explain half the obsessions that go through my head then I’d have an easier life Once the thoughts are there.... they don’t go away I need to raise the level slightly as well, and am already getting loose sharp delivered. Thought I could put a dry layer of cement on top as...

I honestly couldn’t say. My mate come round and said he’d never seen it. It can only have been the paint, I never thinned and it required thinning..... dust maybe ..... or drying to quick creating some kind bubble. I’ve now skimmed over with easifill ....... even 120 grit on a power sander...

If anyone isn’t still reading this There I should no Grano dust or fines anywhere where I live Could I cap/top my type 1 with sharp sand mixed with cement. That would make a solid top layer?

I’ve neber heard anything good about PVA. People say it a lot also before tiring to help adhesion. It does the opposite

Yes pin holes and tiny craters after a top coat had dried. Nothing to do with the mist coat on my opinion. No one has been able to give me an answer. It is indeed a baffling one. Was interested in a spray gun because I will forever do my own painting and the smooth finish is immense. I’m...

There were no imperfections after the mist coat at all. The plasterer is also the best plasterer I know and being a plumber, I know a lot. So you would use 1 part paint 6 parts water? I’m pretty sure PVA is a big no no these days and very much old fashioned with old paint.

I can believe it, I see his plastic bricklaying mortar bed guide. So many inventions that would be laughed out of trades.

It was actually Craig of the original big brother So it must be good
