you must be slow then if you can't change a wc,basin and bath in less than a day,I won't take off the old tiles,make good any holes or fit the bath frame/panel and no tiling,costs about £30 to £50 for 5x flexis and 2x waste flexis if needed and a pan connector = 6 hours x £50 = £300 profit, how...

you will be lucky to turn that, someone has already snapped the square top off, but give it go use wd40

get a radiator valve with a built in drain off,would have thought there might be one on there already https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=8mm%20radiator%20valve%20drain%20off

could have a primatic cylinder,did you just shut off the water and open the hot taps or drain it with a hosepipe, you might have a gravity system are 2 of the pipes that come out of the boiler bigger than the other two

Should have posted a picture,have you got a combination boiler,if so you could put on thermostatic bath/shower taps costing about £80,that would save money. I charge £350 for a standard bathroom replacement including plumbing parts,takes a day,I don't do tiling why pay plumbers rates when you...

Are you sure that they are 6" centres ?

I would change the valve,turn off the mains stopcock,unscrew the hose,check there's a rubber washer in there if not buy one, undo the compression (silver) nut,fit the new valve and check joints

I hate showers and never get involved with them,electric,gravity,pumped,thermostatic,mixer,concealed,shower trays,wastes,doors,all a pain in the f*****g arse,just glad there's keen plumbers like you,thank you

Look under the boiler inside it,there might be 2 valves to connect the hose,otherwise probably below the boiler, but as you said you need a hose so will have to buy a filling loop hose

The problem is where will you get a decorators cap without buying a new trv,so get a 1/2" blanking cap and put it on the end of the valve,you do need to cap it as they are designed not to shut fully but sometimes they do...

WOW can't get much better reply than the one above and you don't have to use your hands,technology EH

I have only replaced a Grohe adiago,fitting a concealed cistern is a piece of cake,it's when you come to replace it one day, after the carpenter and tiler have entombed it,so I was impressed how easy it was,took about 10 minutes

I had this problem in a downstairs wc in a new build,drains weren't blocked, left a hosepipe running down there for an hour,told them to refer back to the builders,there was no way either to redirect the pipe outside as there was no outside wall by the wc,

Neither does a politician

That's what I said as well newboy, you can see a drip on the top stopcock,looks like money might be wasted there,you and I know, say if a wc is leaking they always say it's from the pan connector when usually the water is dripping down on to it.

The top stopcock is leaking from the gland nut,which is the first nut by the handle,this can be repaired without turning off the water, undo the nut,wind PTFE tape around the spindle get a small screwdriver and push the tape in deep where the nut screws in and screw back up,don't know about the...

Apologies, yes you are right about the 70mm gap

you should have went to spec savers,anyone can see that's a 110mm pipe and it's blatantly obvious it's fully fitted,I think that you can't see an easy way,wouldn't want you to work in my home if you want to make a simple job into a long winded exercise maybe take up stamp collecting instead...

The AAV is a pushfit,pull it out and the rubber washer,can you reach it,If so what I would do is get a 110mm flexi pan connector,fit the AAV into it and push into the pipe,save hacking off tiles and could e just a 5 min job, flexi pan connectors come in different lengths. This way you would...
