Seems that d&d plus screws into brown wall plugs has worked a treat, thanks

Thanks for the reply Just out of interest. Do you add sealant above and below the trap mating surfaces to the tray? Dosent mention it but seen some videos advising it. Thanks

Hi. I have the trap shown in the photo. On the instructions it shows a PVC solvent brush image. Does this indicate the connecting waste must be solvented in? To me it feels like a compression fitting and the the elbow compression fit onto my existing solvent waste. Advice appreciated as I...

That's why I wondered how critical it was? The pipes are in and not leaking.i worry that if I start disturbing them To protect them then I might not be so lucky in the reinstall.

Sorry forgot to add question mark Are the copper pipes the touch the breeze block wall a concern? it's only in a few places so shouod I just leave it or go through the risk of disturbing it all to put some laggin behind? I read about corrosion and it started to worry me as not planning to...

Finally finished plumbing in my mixer shower. The pipe run is chased into breeze block and some bits touch the block work. I don't want to touch as afraid I might disturb it and it leaks but should I be worried about corrosion. The builders that did it previously didn't bother (not saying...

I've ready loads of posts on this and can't seem to find a definite answer. Hardie website says use grip fill with screws as mechanical fix Other people say dot and dab and use frame screws through that. Like sound of that as will take out uneven bits. In your experiences What is the...

Stupid question but how do I get these dam elbows to line up and point downwards? Whichever way I start the fitting it always ends up in the direction shown and not down as I need it? Surely it can be left loose, I'm obviously using the wrong connections . Help!

Here is a photo of the mess the last people left it in. It was done over 10 years ago and hasnt fallen down yet! But still not sure it's right. Also I have to put the new one in yet! The wood mounting you see attached to the mixer is actually connected to the outside brick through the cavity...

Currently doing shower and discovered the previous guys have taken out a fair amount of breeze block to chase in the pipes. I suspect I will have to do some more damage fitting the new mixer shower. My questions is should I be refilling these chase lines with mortar once I have fitted all my...

Guys, It's looking likely I'm joining basin waste to shower waste this week. Any chance someone can let me know where I should be fitting hepvo anti siphon traps and how many? Also am I going to cause myself issues down the line with this setup as May not be easily assessable Ta

Thanks for the advice. I take it you mean something like a hepvo waste trap and does this fit onto the basin instead of the standard p trap of further down? Why do they never make these Things easy. I have a bathroom adjacent to the en suite so was thinking about smashing through the...

Hi Currently pulling my hair out doing my en suite.mrs wants the usual flush fitting shower tray but don't think it can be done with the setup I've got. My only compromise is bring it closer to the floor. Currently the basin and shower waste run over each other into the waste pipe. My...

Hi I'm about to redo my ensuite For the shower area I plan to rip off the old plasterboard and fit a moisture resistant board such as hardi or Aqua panel. My question is how to I seal the gaps where the boards meet? Is it ok to butt them up against each other and scrim tape down? Also...

So last question I promise! Do I have to fit a double wall plate or can I just wire both wires into the existing if I can make it fit ok
