My shower tray runs along the entire right-hand wall of the room. On both the right and left walls, the tile layout works out to one full 120cm tile plus about 54cm of another tile. I’ll also have a shower screen that comes out roughly 100cm. Aesthetically, I’m unsure whether I should leave it...

I removed old plasterboard from one wall to lay new boards for tiling that is using metal C studs. I’m mostly re-using the screws that I took out. They are not self tapping so I have a metal thread tapping drill bit that taps a slightly smaller hole then I hand screw those old screws back in and...

I tested it by running water through a temporary hose with a funnel into the stub. Water only came back when I stopped pouring and withdrew the hose, not while it was flowing. From visually checking it again, the short stub looks dead level or at most very slightly back toward the trap. I will...

I have a 32 mm waste pipe solvent welded inside a stud wall, with a short stub (about 15–16 cm) projecting out via a solvent to compression adaptor. Everything inside the wall has correct fall, but I’m slightly concerned the short projection may be level or very slightly falling back toward the...

Ok so I measured this. To the exact centre of the flush plate, toilet pan and window: from left wall to center equals 100cm and from right to centre is 118cm I made mistake of measuring total width as 227 it’s actually 218

The colour of the tiles is beige. If I go with a joint down the centre of the flush plate that would mean 1 vertical joint line down the centre of the room. Whereas if I place one full piece in true centre position and then cut two equal ends for both sides that will mean 2 vertical joint lines

Tiles are already purchased and got good deal on them so returning isn’t an option unfortunately. Yes I’ve done a lot of tiling in the past. Did an entire ground floor flooring at a family members house where i started from the a centre and worked out and they way the lines came out perfectly...

Yes the flush plate is centred to the window recess opening. But the window recess is not centred from wall to wall. from left wall to left edge of window is about 70cm and from right wall to right window edge is about 87cm approx

i'll get that measurement when I get home later this evening. do you want the true centre from wall to wall ignoring the shower tray? or true centre from shower tray edge to wall?

I’m planning to tile my bathroom next week and would like some advice on the best tile layout, mainly to avoid awkward-looking grout lines. The bathroom is quite small, and I’ll be using large 120 × 60 cm porcelain tiles. I’ve made a simple mock-up of the room layout which is attached below...

Just an update on this. I’m a few days away from having to put the XPS qBoards on the blocks. I emailed QBoard tech support about their advice and they advised to just dot and dab it with tile adhesive. So I’m thinking as long as I don’t leave big gaps between the dot and dab maybe since I have...

I need to put a piece of plasterboard onto a window lintel - the type that's metal. So I have the window lintel itself which has a flat surface but on each side of it there is gaps. I wanted to using the following Soudal Plasterboard Adhesive Foam...

So this particular bit where it it horizontally comes the vertically drops looks like pic attached (apologies for bad quality photo) the horizontal pipe has 3 plastic clamps holding it to the wall. One about 25/30cm just before it bends downwards. But the rest is all just there on its own. Could...

Thanks I just tried twisting it to make it slope down a bit and there is a slight play but I think the pan will probably dictate if it will stay in the angle will become straight again. If it becomes straight again and water backflows I’m assuming it will get between the pipe and rubber gasket...

I’ve attached a photo of my assembled Geberit steel wall-hung toilet frame. The 90-degree waste pipe is connected and has a good downward slope toward the vertical soil pipe. My question is about the front connection, the one that currently has the yellow cap fitted to stop smells. This is...

That’s even more confusing. It’s a Geberit Infrared touchless flush sensor back box system that I need to install and it comes with 4 screws. Two short ones and two long ones and the instructions are illustrations only and I’ve attached the two reference it makes to the screws. I’m assuming I...

I have the following two screws pictured below and the instructions say to put the PZ1 screws in one section and the PH 2 screw in another. I can’t tell which screw is what. I tried putting a pz1 bit on both screws and the pz1 head sits firmly on both so I’m even more confused. Can anyone help...

Looking for some recommendations for silicone for sanitary use that wont get mouldy and sticks well almost like how CT1 sticks to stuff. Mainly for finishing off shower tray to tile joints and corners and shower screens. Some cheap silicone i've made mistake of using in the past just don't seem...

I dry fitted one of the fixtures to the wall plate and at the point where it starts to get very tight, the orientation is completely wrong. it's like facing around 10 o clock position but I still would need it go to the 6 o clock position. How would I do this? put extra loctite 55 and just end...

The length of the horizontal run is actually more like 30cm maybe even less. And the vertical drop is not that much either. Wonder are there any good quality flexible 40mm options that could potentially solvent weld on one side and fit into the compression waste fitting? If so how reliable are...
