Looking at this again, I measured and one of the tiles along the side of the bath has a 6-7mm gap at the largest point. The other tile's (there are 2 longways) gap is about 4mm. The builders clearly didn't know how to cut large porcelain tiles, despite me explaining the requirement for a wet...

Thanks

What do you do to prevent mould? Wipe down after every shower, regular spray with bleach / vinegar / borax? I do have an extractor installed, so maybe there were spores there already. Although I would have thought replastering before new fittings & tiles would have sorted that.

‍♂️ Ok, that does make sense. I have no idea what the beige silicone was. Maybe I can find out, but probably it's safer to just redo all of it. This means returning the white Unibond and deciding on a new grey silicone that will match the tiles. So, Dowsil 785+ or 785N? Apparently the Unibond in...

Thanks, the bath panel is caulked as well, so it's not easy to check the feet. I think the movement may have been something 'settling' as I don't see much movement when standing in the bath. I will avoid abrading Whether the bath is well installed - who knows? I really hope the new &...

About a year into a new bathroom, the silicone started peeling away from the bath and getting mouldy. It gradually detached along most of the length of the bath. I've put this off for a while but now decided to try and tackle this myself. The bath is Carronite (acrylic) so I wondered if maybe...

Thanks, but I have this manual. The instructions there are for the flat cosmetic front cover, not the main cover that contains the pcb

@undertrained yes the knob turns when the plug is pressed. The screw is tightened all the way, which brings it as low to the tub as possible. I am sure something is amiss with the cable since the builders spent all day cursing and trying to fix a leak from behind the bath tap pipes. They...

This kind of thing would not happen in Japan :) We accept **** design far too readily. In any case it worked before, and I always want to find out how things work and why they break. I will keep digging..

This one: https://www.soakology.co.uk/p/carron-apex-shower-bath/ The plug sits and seals fully only if I press down on it, but whatever happened to disturb the cable means with the screw all the way in, it still doesnt fully close from the handle. It did before, and felt very solid.

I've tried all of those. Pulling in every direction and from every side. I will contact Ventaxia and ask them..

Thanks, but it was working perfectly before, which means it has been broken or misaligned. And this is an expensive bath. Sticking a rubber plug in is not going to cut it.

This is a brand new installation. It is now screwed all the way to it shortest setting and still does not fully close, which means something else needs to be adjusted

After some repairs done (twice) to prevent leaks from the bath pipes, the bath plug no longer closes properly. It was working perfectly before the 2nd leak was fixed. There was a little extra 'play' on the turn so with very slight pressure you could make sure the plug was sealed. I informed...

The pcb settings I'm sure I would be able to figure out, or it's in the manual. But the cover doesn't want to budge. Unless it's designed to snap off with pressure, and in that case you need to be willing to risk breaking it. The screw is removed but it's not hinging or sliding. Rubbish design..

I managed to remove the flat cover, but can't find any info on how to remove the main front cover. These things are flimsy plastic so I don't want to force it and break anything. The manual doesn'r explain how to get the front cover off to access the pcb. Any ideas? I found a picture from...

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it's square. My neighbours downstairs have one of these and exactly what you described has happened to it. The flaps have blown off and ended up in the gutter. Cowl vent looks like a better design. At this point all I can do is switch off the electric and unscrew the...

It's a VentAxia VASF 100B This is how much the flaps open when the fan is on. I think the fan has its own spring loaded backdraft flaps as well. The duct length is to fill a Victorian brick cavity

I checked again this morning and it is lifting up very slightly, a few mm. The top one seems loose, the middle one is a bit stiff (tested with a stick) and the bottom one is fixed in place, designed that way it seems. Opening the door makes no difference. It looks like probably the fan is just...

I have just had a bathroom installed, and a Ventaxia extractor fan put in. It has a plastic gravity grille on the outside, and a flat cover on the front. I noticed that it is not doing much to clear steam, and checked the outside grille while the fan is on. It doesn't move. I'm guessing it's...
