I'm unable to get in the wall now to change any pipe work as its already been tiled up.

Hi all, So i'm finally fitting the basin and matt black bottle trap, the pipe thats come with the bottle trap is a metal matt black one (32mm) https://victoriaplum.com/product/mode-spencer-wall-hung-basin-black-bottle-trap. We've got a 32mm plastic pipe coming out the wall for the waste so my...

Ok no worries, thank you, much rather ask the question than take a guess and mess it up

Ok i’ll give that a good this evening, i havnt got any dry wall adhesive at the moment as i can only find it in bags of 25kg. Could i use tile adhesive or would that not have the same effect?

Thats fantastic cheers for your reply! I was unsure whether it would be ok to do thst to be honest

I’ve purchased a concealed Vallemo shower unit, plumbers fitter it to the wall and i’ve built a stud wall up to it. Now the board i’ve used is 12mm and its pretty much sitting as close as it can to the valve unit behind the wall, however the actual valves sit too deep into the wall meaning once...

I havnt taken it back yet but i think its dot and dab on the brickwork not stud

Haha i do indeed! This part of the wall however isnt near water so didnt fancy forking out the price for it ‍♂️

So the tiler is coming this weekend to do the bathroom and he’s said that because part of a wall is damaged i’d need to overboard before he can tile, the section damage is about the size of a A4 piece of paper... To me it seems overkill to reboard the entire wall, could i not just cut the...

Still not really got a clear answer for this... Should i rip all the plaster out to get back to the pipes or will the pipes be ok where they are?

Thats what i’m planning with the tiling, but i dont want to begin tiling over to find those pipes will erode and i’ll have to rip them out in a few years time

Its serving a basin shelf so i couldn’t really have the pipes outside the wall. Debating whether to rip it out and start again or leave it in

So would you recommend ripping it all put and starting again?

Ok so a while back i got the plasterer to board a wall up and cover the copper piping thats been chased into the wall and up to the basin. He’s used dot and dab to fill in the hole. Will the pipes be ok in contact with dot and dab or will it ruin the piping? The pipes are inside the dot and...

Great stuff mate thanks, did you buy both the reinforcing tape (like microfibre stuff) or the waterproof stuff (thick stuff and expensive) or both?

Hi all, Currently battening a wall for the shower area because the wall is so uneven its ridiculous so I'm levelling it out with spacers behind the battens. I'm looking into buying Marmox waterproof boards and build the wall from and tile on top of, From what I can gather they're a foam board...

Ok, cheers for your help 23vc i’ll get to work on that! :)

Great thanks for you help! I’ve just ripped the old wall out now...can i just leave the old dabbing on the wall and use it as a bit of support along the with battens or should i chip it all off?

Ahh right bobasd, i wish i’d known that before buying all the plasterboard. I was told as long as i use a waterproof grout and sealant it’d be ok to tile onto plasterboard? Yeah the plumbers tested it and all works fine. We had an old electric shower in so the pipe you see coming from the...

Ahh right! Thats where i’m messing up then! Thats exactly what i was planning on doing. ‍♂️ The plumber recommended I screw it on...i guess thats why he’s a plumber and not a plasterer Thanks for the advice man, so heres my next question... What would you do, rip the old plasterboard and...
