    Any ideas on dealing with vanity unit up against a wonky wall?

    The tile on top of the vanity is not fixed. I was playing with whether to have the tile sit on top or move the countertop forward and slide tile behind it. I'm guessing on top is best but due to other reasons, sliding tile behind gives me benefits (regarding tap design). I'm thinking trim...

    Is it ok for shower bar valve thread to be exposed?

    Yes, I am not a plumber hence why I thought id come here for some friendly advise. To me, it seemed odd that threads would show on that place. I asked the plumber if this is normal and ok, and he said it is. I wasn't convinced so wanted to ask others advice on this whether this is normal before...

    Is it ok for shower bar valve thread to be exposed?

    He was still here. And at the time, I assumed it won't leak as he said it was ok. Hence why I wanted to ask before here before he left

    Is it ok for shower bar valve thread to be exposed?

    The shower leaked upon testing. Turns out the brackets are not correct as well as the pipes not being in the right angles. So no, the answer in this particular instance is no, it's not ok

    Is it ok for shower bar valve thread to be exposed?

    Plumbers fitted this and says it's the most it will screw on. Is it ok for the tread to be exposed like this?

    Is this imperfection ok on the architrave?

    Sorry, have one more question. I know normally, you would glue and use lost head nails to hold it in position. But I was wondering if I could skip the nails and clamp it in position instead? The architrave I got is quite slim and has complex pattern over it. Worried nail would split or ruin...

    Is this imperfection ok on the architrave?

    Great tip. And I think you are spot on with the slight different levels and angling in. Have sanded it all down but still a lip where plaster begins.

    Is this imperfection ok on the architrave?

    Thanks. I thought caulk might be better on joins due to movement in change of planes

    Any way to reduce hole on vanity unit for basin waste fitting?

    Came across this. Sizes should work. I was hoping to find a plate/flange which I can screw onto the underside of the vanity so wondering if this and using ct1 or the like to hold it in position could work?

    Any way to reduce hole on vanity unit for basin waste fitting?

    Thats what I was thinking but struggling to find any products which would be able to fit the pipe (38mm) fairly snuggly so the back nut can tighten onto it whilst the rest of the plate/flange is wide enough so I can secure it to the vanity unit (hole size 75mm)

    Any way to reduce hole on vanity unit for basin waste fitting?

    Like any other bowl/vessel sink but the howls too big. The back nut should be clamping onto the vanity which I can't.
