Fraid not mate, it's a small enclosure. Trust me, id have paid for lessons to get her to do that if I could have. Literally everything the wife's wanting in the bathroom is bloody awkward. Nice simple bar mixer? Naw mate, that would be to easy. On the plus side, she's going to do the tiling...

I've ordered some 30mm and 40mm extensions which should be enough. I'm putting some board insulation on the walls which so I kind of need some form of extension. Rough calc shows it should be the right length. Yeah I've watched that charming young lady install the shower, one of those things...

I would have thought they'd come with the shower, but according to grohe: " We can confirm that these are 1/2" BSP connections that can be purchase from a plumbers merchant as they don't come with the shower." That's their reply from customer services...

I'm looking to install a grohe rain shower duo because my wife wants to be able to clean her flaps at the same time as having the rain shower on (seriously). Looking at the indtallation video Right at the start they show a 1/2" extension which is then trimmed to match the wall thickness. Ive...

Was ripping out the bathroom and wanted to put a new bit of 22mm copper pipe onto an old compression fitting. I picked up the wrong compression nut of fitting I'd bought and it would go on. After having a look I found the one that came off the fitting and it had a different number of...

I'm putting a new low profile shower in my bathroom. The floor is fairly uneven but in good condition. As I'm laying vinyl click lock tiles (tarkett) I'm going to be putting plywood on top. However I've also got to put a shower in which illI need to put on plywood to level it out too. My...

And yes, those are 22mm hot and cold pipes running about 6" above the floor level. They were originally behind the bath panel. I'm wanting to run these under the floor too, again that wee bit of boxing in the kitchen would make this easier and avoid messing about with joists. (Can you tell I...

Hello all, I'm in the process of renovating my bathroom and in the process of removing the walls I've found that the soil pipe isn't where I'd like it to be. It drops down vertically from the floor above but dows a bend at the floor level in the bathroom: It then carries on vertically through...

Some silicone grease is thick and sticks as hell. Dow Corning vacuum grease isbdamn near impossible to wash off, but it'll last through anything. Even 6 months in boiling seawater if it takes your fancy

Hmmm. The wife has moved the goal posts yet again. Now she wants 1000x900. This is a fairly limited choice. I've seen the Premier Pacific on a few places. Looks to be pretty decent and, at least from the isntructions seems to be solidly built. Damn enclosures are a minefield. Anyone...

Anyone got recommendations for shower enclosures? Specifically 1100 X 800 offset quadrant. We can't fit a 1200 in without doing some major wall moving and I think a 1000 would be a bit small for the shower we're getting. So, aye I'm looking for an awkward size lol. There is an absolute tonne...

Good point. I'm thinking about going for a 1100 X 800 just to take it fractionally more into the larger space. Just have to find a decent one. Although it's one of those things that I only noticed there isn't really any guidance on.

Didn't see it mentioned, but before you replaced the radiators did you happen to check how hot they were? How hot does the feed pipe at the boiler feel? Is the water leaving the boiler hot?

Just wondering where an overhead shower should be positioned in a shower. The wife is now looking at a grove shower with a fixed pipe length from the wall. I've done a terrible schematic to show where the showerhead would end up. How far out from the wall should it come or is it a matter of...

Danni, where is your cold water feed to the shower coming from? I've got a 10.5kw shower that is fed off the cold water from my cold from my unvented hot water tank. It used to work like crap, but then I found that if you turn the shower on then turn a tap on for a couple of seconds that is on...

Looking to install a thermostatic mixer with a rainshower head and normal showerhead. I've got a 210L(there abouts) unvented cylinder, which has 3.1 bar pressure. I've measured the flow from the bath tap to be around 21L/minute. Looking to install a hansgrohe shower select which can...

Bit of a weird one, but I posted ages ago about a problem with shower and not working properly. It's a bit of an update and a question. Shower is upstairs on cold water feed to invented cylinder, after the pressure reduction valve, reducing pressure to 2.1 bar. We did a heap of buggering...

Just checked by filling a bucket in the bath for 6 seconds then multiplying by 10. Got about 24L/min. God bless the plumber and his big pipes lol. We're going for the hansgrohe as we both like the style. Nearly went for a Vado, but the wife has the casting vote. Turns out that the eye...

Hot water is from a large invented cylinder. Operating at 2.1 bar. Not had a chance to check the flow rate, but its on the list to do. Hopefully today! According to the manufacturer it should've good for 2.1 bar and I saw a demonstrator in a show room running at 1.4 off a combination which...

Cheers @muggles that was one of my concerns. At least with the hansgrohe you can be assured that parts will be available. I've poked some holes in the walls and we'll be able to easily fit one in depth wise which seems to be one concern with their installation. Are there any other reliable...
