There are not many cracked bricks, but I don't think thats the problem. The brick are a dull colour (no sheen like on an accrington) Still with me? They act like a sponge when it rains and just soak up the water. I dont know if the builder left a space between the external face and the...

:shock: Hey why didn't I think of that Static..........! Nothing constructive then...? :idea:

Hi there I have just pulled my bathroom tiles off and in places the plaster has come with them exposing the bricks in places. I think the holes are too deep to fill with tile adhesive, would I be ok filling with sand and cement?If so, how long do I wait before re-tiling? Cheers :?:

Thanks for that Zampa I have decided to skim it after all because I think that will be the end result anyway Cheers :D

John It's not the guttering that is quite new, it is the brick quality, I am a bit opposed to rendering or even painting because I think it looks like your hiding something...! What about PVA or similar, would a this let moisture escape whilst protecting it?

Sorry John I read your reply wrong, I fully understand now. I'll be installing the new bathroom at the weekend, if I have any probs I know where to come. Thanks for your help

Hi About 3 years ago I had someone convert my old outside toilet and outhouse to one extended room which became the kitchen. But since the wall was built (of old cracked bricks I might add) the wall seems to hold the water when it rains and is permanantly during the winter months. I have...

Hi John I thought they did I just bought a new bathroom suite and was about to prep the taps and fix to the sink and bath, cut 2 lengths of 22mm for the bath and when I tried to insert them into the tap the pipe wouldn't fit. Cheers

Hi Can anyone please tell me if water taps should be able to accept a copper pipe(female connection) aswell as couple up to a flexi pipe(male connection)?

Hi Glyn1959 I was just about to post this question, so I'll jump in here for an answer. My converted room is a kitchen with concrete flat roof, wondering if need vent or something to remove/prevent moisture? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nowtaboutnowt, please raise your own...

Hi Zampa maybe I did not explain very well..... ! I have put up square edged plasterboard and want to know if I can fill the joints and just paint it. There is no space for jointing tape as it would be raised and visible. Would the joint be prone to cracking if no tape was added?

Hi I want to try and avoid plastering the square edged (wrong one...! should have been tapered) plasterboard I have just put up on my bathroom ceiling and walls. Does anyone have any tips on getting a really good finish and hiding the joints and screw holes. Cheers :D

Cheers for that, I'll look into the Mira which removes the need to bury the pipework

I think your right Softus because the mains pressure is very poor and I'm also looking at the possibility of a pumped electric shower. Problem being the manufacturers will only give a 1 year guarantee (2 years on everything else) which leads me to believe they don't have much confidence in the...

:idea: Could anyone please advise if what I'm about to do would be in the professionals handbook of tiling..........? I am fitting a new bathroom suite and am looking at taking out existing bath, inserting new one then tiling over existing tiles to the ceiling. :shock:

:D It doesn't. Thanks for the reply

:oops: Electric

:shock: Hi, Can someone please explain why the copper pipe suppling my shower comes into the bathroom quite near the shower (under the floorboards, next to an outer wall) then runs 12 feet away from the shower (the length of the bathroom), goes up the wall into the loft space, runs back towards...

:D Thanks guys I think it is going to be a pumped shower from its own header tank.

:roll: Can anyone tell me if I can feed my electric shower from a header tank stored in the loft. This is to guarantee a consistent water pressure to the shower as the pressure in the area is very poor
