Try Screwfix but stay away from own brands like Swirl and Morretti, Pegler and Grohe are excellent. http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/Watersmith_Taps.jsp;jsessionid=R14HXLLEKTTZCCSTHZOCFFA?ts=42886

What are the benefits of letting a cast stone shower tray into the wall on a stud wall?

Yes its a good method Bathstyle, I was shown it by a plumber a few years ago and was amazed how quick and easy he made it. I think you have to have some decent bungs though, I wouldn't trust a cork or anything. I've never tried it but I think it can be done on a sealed system, close aav in...

I know Bathstyle, I was backing you up. :lol:

Whats all this talk of draining the system? Get an expandable bung and block off the header tank cold feed outlet at the bottom of the tank, get a 22mm pushfit cap and bung the open vent over the tank. You can open one valve at a time and after a cup full of water comes out it will...

My parents house is piped up in 6mm micrbore, nasty stuff and this is all kinked to bu**erey, thinking about it half the system is on 6mm and the other half in 15mm. Guess which rads are the hottest. :lol:

I'm not a plumber but what am I looking at here, it looks upside down. :? :? :? :roll:

:lol: It looks like the moderators are off tonight.

BES do some nice rad extensions, cheaper than Wickes. That said plaster is cheaper at Wickes than it is at Jewsons, work that out! http://www.bes.co.uk/products/114.asp#10216

Hi doitall, Are you still working as a plumber?

Get one of those Basin Mates/Vanity Bowl Sealer coned washers for the basin waste (sell them in B&Q) disgard the rubber washer than comes with the waste and use this. Try and use brass tap backnuts especially if using flexi's and tighten against poly washer/tophat washer. Apply silicone...

Yes seal before and after tiles. I think decent plumbers use a silicone called Dow Corning 731 (7 something anyway) I think anything else gives you mould issues. Not used it myself yet though. :)

Just a quick question guys, when positioning towel radiator valves when the pipes come out of the floor, are they postioned 'into' the room, or are they tucked under the towel rad so they can't be seen from above for example.

Morning doitall I'm not talking about the 110mm AAV's rather the ones that are available on waste traps and the one that come in spigot form and can be used in a tee. Are these valves maintenance free, can they by hidden under floors and forgotton about or do they need to be accesable, I...

Yesterday while working on my shower enclosure I noticed the shower trap wasn't the proper trap but one of these with an extension piece and an anti-syphon valve. This will be a slimline shower tray, I take it these aren't meant to be hidden? That said it had been there for about 8-10...

Too cheap surely, even for a direct straight swap. Or do you mean thats what the op should charge and not yourself kirkgas?

Go on then give Kev a thank you and get him up to 70, he'll be ahead of doitall then. :lol:

It appears he's nearly cracked your house open like a boiled egg, have you spoken to him yet, is he coming back to make good?

This is my first visit to the tiler's forum, I came here to ask if tiles could be laid on emulsion but I saw this thread. So you're basically saying if it fails the gaffer tape test then get it off and never use PVA. Got it.
