Hi all, Not sure whether this goes to tiling or plastering... Getting my bathroom done starting next Monday. My wife wanted a wall recessed storage for the shower area but I thought we needed to increase the depth of the wall to do that. Looking at the net I now realise that plaster walls...

Hi all, My wife wanted an "automatic" light switch for our (to be installed) shower room after seeing one in the toilet of one of the bathroom shop we visited. Now I don't see a problem in a toilet only setup but would it work in a shower room? I know there are IP rated PIR so that's not an...

Arrr... it suddenly clicked. The hot-cold fed ones are pump only. No heating element in it. So back to my question. How does one decide whether I need a gravity fed electric shower or a normal decent electric shower? How likely am I to use up the water in the header tank and what would happen...

Thanks. My brother has a similar setup as mine. I think he has a smaller hotwater cylinder so by the time a third person uses the shower (or halfway through the second person) the water starts to run cold. It might be because his pump is too efficient. Or his boiler is useless. Or his water...

Thanks for that. That changes things for me again. I have a power shower similar to your diagram, and I have always wondered where the cold feed comes from. If your diagram is correct then I have a problem. When I say electric power shower, I meant an electric shower with a built-in pump...

Thanks. How does one determine the pressure of the cold main without using special tools? I am torn between cold main electric shower and cold header-tank power shower. I don't think I should get the hot and cold ones as it might impact on the duration of my other power shower. Thanks Adrian

Am I better off getting tiler and plumber separately for the job? Or should I leave it all to the plumber? Adrian

Ok, I get the point. How long is a piece of string etc etc. So what do I actually need? Do I need a new consumer unit with more slots? Or can I get an "extension" (single slot one) for the extra circuit? Adrian

What kind of second hand car? Adrian

Hi all, Just as a rough estimate, if I have a 1.7m x 2.4m shower room, to be gutted (floor and wall tiles) and install a new shower tray, move the plumbing a bit and re-tile the bathroom, how much should I expect labour cost to be? I have been quoted around 1.8k for labour so far, but one of...

Hi all, I want to fit an electric shower in one of the bathrooms. My consumer unit is in the garage and one side of the house and the bathroom in question is on the first floor at the opposite side of the house. There is no wiring for it at present. There is no room on the consumer unit for...

Hi all. Hopefully someone knowledgeable can help me. I have a condensation boiler, for a 4 bedroom house. The hotwater tank (about 3.5ft tall) is on the first floor and I have a large header tank on the top floor. I have a water pump for a "power shower" for my en-suite shower room. I have no...
