Is it ? IMHO, and looking at the photo, the water is pouring out from behind the head, and running over it. If the head has been off, and you screw that back on WITHOUT using a spanner to tighten it, then all you will do is turn the head until it is reasonably tight, then it will just rotate...

Oops ! Just re-read and noticed you've already had it off ! I reckon you've put it back on, on the wrong thread.......... ?

Have you tried tightening it ? Hold the pipe just above the showerhead with one hand, and turn the shower head round with the other hand. If that partly fixes it then it shows it's a screwed on head - either get a spanner on to it ( there will be two flat faces hidden but immediately behind...

With second thoughts, depending on what you find when you take off the panels? at the showerhead end, you may be looking at boarding more than one wall !

As these are floor tiles, and potentially quite sharp and very dangerous, you have two options :- 1. Lift them up ( preferred and best option) 2. Cover them up, until 1.above can be done. A couple of sheets of cheap hardboard with or without a top layer ( e.g. Lino) will at least make it safe...

There are a few ways to this, a few of us will have different ideas.......... I would just go for the quickest and easiest option : 25 mm battens on the wall, with standard 12mm plasterboard. No need for fancy backerboards or tanking at that end. In theory, that makes it a couple on mm short...

That’s a well trained rat. What paper was he reading ? Lol

I thought Highwayman was the db’s ? ( or is it just him that thinks that ) lol

I would have went 4x4 on the base framing. That's not gonna flex in any direction.

Depends if you want the honest ‘professional job’ answer, or the one you want to hear……. The first answer is :- just take them all off and do it properly. They’ve not been stuck properly, grouted properly, or siliconed properly. It’s a relatively quick, easy and cheap job to do - and you’ll...

Tbh it's personal preference. I prefer as big a tile as poss in the corner of a shower ( therefore keeping the grout away from the corner) so I would go for the 500 cut each side. But that was the easy part of the laying out - i know your heights are now set in stone as you have to tie the...

I would build piers, let them go off/dry out/move slightly, then put a concrete slab on top of each one and use this stage as your final ' levelling out'. Have your lengths of framing to hand when you're doing this. It's just a personal thing, and probably wrong, but I just wouldn't trust the...

There is no ' correct way' between going full tile off centre, or centre tile off centre. It's usually decided by what cuts are left at the ends. Perhaps if you showed us a photo of the ends of the runs, we would comment if we thought you made the right starting decision. And No, the 4 walls...

The main thing she was guilty of was "gross stupidity" in saying those things in the first place. She had to go guilty - a non guilty would have greatly increased her sentence, as she knew she had no chance if it went to trial. What do you reckon - interviews with her non stop on Farages GB...

Are you sure we're both talking solid Cement Boards here ? Screws don't go through Hardibacker easily, and you'll definitely not get a washer to recess into one. I've never seen or heard of a washer on a SOLID cement board

The point is, with a non pre-mix bucket adhesive, you can remove spacers and grout the same day you put the tiles on. You cannot do this with a prefix addy.

You missed the " later that day to grout" part of the sentence, which is the whole point.

Hi Wayners, and thanks for the reply. I googled that Coverstain, but the one I was looking at says touch dry in 30mins, and paintable after 2 hours ? Is this the right stuff ?

The build itself took me and the wife 3 1/2 hours, and an hour myself the next day for the roof. Being ' modular', every bit of roof, walls and floor was either a 4 ft panel or a 2ft panel, all cls and T&G. Doors, glass and Windows all came pre hung etc - so it really was just a case of...

6 mm Trowel is the man for the job. And do your fingers a favour by using Turbogold screws.
