if the new pan doesent line up, and it is cast iron, which would make things way easier for me! could i cut the pipe just above the join on the outside of the house and join plastic pipe to it somehow outside? this is if for instance i have to drill a new hole for the waste as ill be buying a...

what makes you say that daniel? the piece below with the moss around it is certainly asbestos painted black, its been tested in a lab and heres a photo of where they tested it I would have assumed if that piece is asbestos, the rest is?

i need to remove a toilet from my bathroom, Ive never done this before so looking for some advice on how it can be done. The biggest issue is, the waste pipes are asbestos (they have been tested) and ill need to do it without breaking them. Id also like to avoid cutting them if possible. im not...

This weekend was taken up planning fetching parts and fitting the new shower idea. the install is all working now, so i will soon be able to move back to getting the aqua board installed. Its a little bit less neat than the bar shower would have been as it was planned after putting all the beams...

right all sorted! thanks again! Solution was the pipe in the previous post, and turning the collar tight to the ceiling I had to add another layer of ply on top of the existing in order that were wasnt too much thread on show below, but that was simple enough, and everything is rock solid...

right so i think what ill do is get one of these, screw it down to the ply wood with the copper pipe going up into the loft and the brass thread going down toward the bathroom, then PFTE the thread on the shower, screw it up into the loft, then tighten the collar onto the ceiling, which should...

youve sparked another question for me there then, should i pressure test the shower pipes after the diverter valve perhaps by adding and end cap to the pipework before adding the shower to test for leaks, or could i damage the valve doing this?

ahh i never thought about tightening up the collar! i thought it had too say tight down at the end of the thread! that makes more sense to me now! (you can tell this is my first bathroom install!

also if i can use the above, what about thins instead that i could fix to the ply? http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Plumbing/d20/Valves/sd2696/Wallplate+%26+Tube/p33291

with that though how do i ensure the collar is lights against the ceiling and the thread is tight and waterproof in the elbow? could one not get tight before the other?

the problem with that is it wont hold the shower head up tight to the ceiling, as they are too thin and slip through the hole. I could put a washer on first but then you have one of two issues, either the tap connector becomes tight before the shower head is tight to the ceiling so it wobbles...

Plumbing up the new shower, and it was time to get into the loft and fit the new shower head, in order to strengthen the head i put some spare plywood up above the plasterboard, and threaded the shower "arm?" through, the problem is once the nut is tightened up, there is no thread left to...

I should have a very handy niche in place for all my soap and shower gel worries, hopefully!

I sat in bed lastbnight thinking, why did i buy a bar shower again? and i couldnt for the life of me remember why, so ive decided to change it and go for a concealed mixer instead, wont be much work to change it now, and they look just that little bit more modern and sleek if you ask me. ill see...

Once that was done I plumber in the bath and shower I added a none return valve and a normal valve so i could turn the water off. and i just like this image Hopefully ive done all this correctly, its my firsty real attempt at plumbing, have to admit i like the flexibility of using...

lots done this weekend, used the new laser lever to build a frame, decided to make the back wall much deeper to facilitate a niche. after watching some videos online, I slightly angled the top and bottom of it to allow water and moisture to run off, ive also bought some tanking liquid to tank it...

The software is sketchup

only half the room done as im trying to leave the toilet in place as long as possible, living in a house without a bath/shower is bad enough

here is how the bathroom looked before this weekend, the bath has turned up and it was time to make a proper start. the plan is to change the orientation of the bath and move the sink around leaving the toilet where it is. in order to do the tiling ive pulled up the floor to fit a thick...
