I'm a bit lost. How does one secure this or are they simply incompatible? Bowl can't simply sit on the hole with or without the supplied black cap thing. The hole is just under 8cm in diameter, is this correct?

Do you mean the black plastic bit surrounding the hole? Nothing screws onto or would squeeze it. Only strain is the weight of the bowl?

I thought that but the bowl just wobbles? Or is this reliant on silicone adhesive?

Looking at it, the back nut would need to be massive!! Took a photo of the current nut

Interesting. I guess I would need a back nut which is the same thread size and diameter of the waste pipe but the 'flat section' of the back but would need to be much larger so it can clamp onto the wood

Hi, I know, I should have double checked but partner bought the basin bowl she wanted and only realised the hole on our vanity unit is too big for the fitting. The bowl should sit on this silver plate, waste pipe going down the hole and then clamped to secure. Problem is the holes too big and...

Yea, I'm debating whether to get a pipe cutter and do it myself but had decided to leave all Pipeworks and plumbing for the plumber. I can drill holes fine as I have the tools and done it many times. Not sure what you mean by compression joints but all I need to do is to hand tighten the...

If you word search, quite a few people have sealed them. The instructions on the box also suggests to. But every sealer I look at says designed for polished porcelain so wasn't sure which is best

Thanks. These are only dry fitted so the chrome fitting may push in a mm maybe more. But I'm guessing advice is to follow the installation manual and cut both pipes so they are 10mm-20mm proud of the gold bracket? Currently the one on the right is 25mm and the left is about 22mm This would...

Hi, I read so many people say glazed tiles don't need sealing but the instructions on the box to say seal before grouting. Just wondering if there are any recommendations for a sealer please? Tiles in question...

Thanks. Think you understand the issue the most at the moment. The pipe on right doesn't really move at all. The left moves a little bit (maybe a few mm's). The pipe is about 25mm proud of the gold bracket

First of all guys, I'm not micromanaging or criticising. Just curious if it's correct or not as it's not what seems to me what the instructions are saying. Secondly, I have asked for him to cut it ready for it to be installed so he's not coming back to do this.

Do you think think the manuals wrong then? (Step 4) If it's 10-20mm proud of the bracket, it would half way up the silver connector part

Thanks guys. I did ask for him to cut it ready for it to be installed to which he said it's fine to as is? Hence why Im wondering what's normally the done thing so I can get him to do it right if needed. From the manual, it says to leave 10-20mm pipe in front of the bracket. Does this sound...

Hi all, Plumber has cut the shower feed pipes flush with the wall brackets with the connectors on. Afterwards, I noticed on the instructions for the shower, it says to just proud of the brackets and then the connectors go on at a later stage. Any chance the manual is wrong? Or get the...

Luckily my tiles have been fine in terms of size and consistency. It's just this bloody haze

I've used a cloth, scraper and now going to try using a stiff brush this afternoon. Take it this is not normal then? For info, these are the tiles: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Amaro%E2%84%A2-Charcoal-Porcelain-Wall+Floor-Tile---615-x-308mm/p/153688

Bought these porcelain tiles from Wickes and have given them a good scrub with scourer and HG intensive cleaner and warm water to try and get rid of any transport wax. Every time it dries, it still looks a little hazy/dusty. Looks nice and rich in colour when wet. Is this normal and only way...

It's because to make it flush and plumb, the other end of the wall is about 50-60mm out and will also need to get a plasterer in. Unless I try to do it myself. But as per my sketch, the thin architrave would cover the corner where the filler section meets the door lining. And the tile trim...

Ahh really??!!! Or any other alternative? Plaster? Timber filler? I was thinking it would look like this which I think is not too bad
