possibly some kind of water hammer on the hot supply....check around the hot feed to the machine which you don't use anymore. a chance that when the pipe was connected it held the hot pipe away from something. a piece of cabinet, or wall. so maybe needs some packing or padding around where it...

as for the grout, scrape it out with a stanley knife and just regrout. It'll look totally different.

diverter playing up? model of boiler?

ptfe is fine for drinking water.

shower tray maybe bonded to the wall with silicone as well as the seal between the tray and wall tiles. it may also be stuck to the wood with god knows what! normal practice for me would be to remove a small piece of ceiling in the room below unless artexed. muck easier to see everything but...

do you have a red "wheel" type valve by the tank? if so try turning it off. that will stop the hot water cylinder filling. or alternately (and the favourite method) is to get in the loft to the supply tank and plug the outlet to the cylinder creating an airlock. I say favourite because the valve...

or possibly thermostatic mixer passing mains back?

as the water in the cylinder expands, it is returned to the large storage tank in the loft. sounds like the ball valve has been set too high so when water returns it overfills so goes out the overflow. does the ball valve have a brass arm? if so, try bending it downwards. this will reduce the...

turn off the isolator inside. then follow the tap handle downwards until you get to the biggest nut- undo this and pull up. will reveal a knackered tap washer...replace and reassemble.

It's called a plinth pack,as long as you know what size/ shape/ hand your tray is, should be able to get one from any plumbing shop.

denso. push it in any larger gaps, then wrap some around. use gloves...and smear it tight into the joint and you should have a good seal.

what size of notch to use when spreading the adhesive? obviously don't want adhesive squeezing through grout lines. and is there a secret to getting them to stick flat? ie. use a piece of board to press down? difficult questions for a mosaic novice and I want it to look right, thanks for any help.

connect the new part between the trap and the black pipe- shorten the black pipe first.

disconnect black waste, reseal and check bath waste. then fit Toolstation 75951 to allow a slight dogleg.

pull the flexi out of the way, molegrips on the end of the thread, tighten clockwise.

is the tray straight onto the floor, or on a plinth? if on a plinth then remove trim and replace. if not, have you access from below, i.e. is it upstairs? sometimes much easier to go in from below.

if you're gonna do that, use aquapanel- may as well hack out a piece of the original wall and stick in some noggins.

only glanced at it in passing tonight, so hope the fitter is coming back...and he's gonna have a job finding a drain- it's on the other side of the house with the drainpipes!

can you go higher than a 6 kw shower? what does your sparky say? yes a thermostatic mixer would be ok but would need to run to warm up by the sound of it. always like to keep an electric shower to be honest incase of boiler failiure.

can anyone tell me what is in boiler condensate? and how it is supposed to escape from the building? mother-in-law just had an intergas 36/30 fitted, and the condensate is going into a bucket. does it have to go into a drain or can it spill onto the drive?
