    Blanking u bend sink end

    You know that are using the wrong fitting so whatever you do will be a bodge. I'm sure you can find something to block the hole but why not do the job properly.

    Please tell me where Im going wrong

    You and I know what a sink waste is but the OP could be referring to any part of the setup. The part in the pic obviously doesn't connect direct to the waste so we need to see what its connecting to.

    Please tell me where Im going wrong

    The narrow end of the tapered seal normally goes into the fitting. You've probably got it the wrong way round. What are you trying to screw it up to?

    Replace toilet pan (bowl ) only help

    If the toilet is couple coupled, you will need to replace the whole lot unless you can get the same model. If the toilet is low level or back to wall with a concealed cistern, you can easily replace just the pan. Might need a new flush pipe and you should definitely use a new pan connector and...

    Bar shower replacement

    Some bar mixers will have a greater resistance than others but there would probably only be a significant difference if you had a low pressure system. As you have a combi, you have mains pressure hot and cold and they are all likely to perform about the same. You can always try a larger shower...

    Repressurising Greenstar 25i - can’t locate filling mechanism

    Do not touch the little red lever. It is the pressure relief valve. If you pull that you will let water out of the system and decrease pressure. This is the opposite of what you are trying to do and could result in the valve not seating properly afterwards and needing to be replaced. As for the...

    Removing loo screws

    Multi tool or Dremel. If not available, sometimes you just have to take the blade out of the hacksaw and use it on its own. You can wrap a bit of tape to protect the hands if you like. As mentioned before, invest in some fresh blades. Also put some tape around the hole to protect the porcelain...

    Orange Bath Water - F&E Tank Overflow Going into CWST?

    You can test with a magnet. Magnets don't stick to copper but they are attracted to the magnetite sludge that builds up inside the pipes. If you have areas where the magnet sticks to the pipe, its an indication of problems.

    Orange Bath Water - F&E Tank Overflow Going into CWST?

    Certainly not correct. Each cistern should have its own overflow to the outside. You can combine them together to sort your immediate problem. F&E should not be hot although its common for it to be discoloured. Sounds like the system is pumping over. This is usually caused by a blockage or...

    Inlet strainers should be just behind the screw on connectors (can't remember for certain but that makes sense). Obvs turn water off at isolators beforehand.
