Hi Chuckles, Yes it is quite possible that a pipe has broken causing your deposits to back up. But that surely should have been picked up with a camera ?

Cheers. Glad I asked, I was about to get going with the tools and just stopped to think for a second !!! Theres WATER in here !!!!! :oops:

Easy one, if you know the answer !!! Do I need to isolate the water supply to remove a thermostatic valve from a shower head unit ? Thanks

LOL. Yes your right, it actually says "Proper shipping name - Turpentine Substitute" I take it this is not the same stuff, relabelled and sold for £15 - £20Ltr ?? Couldn't you just use white spirit ? Has anyone actually tried it ??

Hello, I have bought some LTP sealer to seal some porcelain tiles. I got it off good old fleabay, for what I think is a decent price of £15 for a Ltr. It arrived today, with some tape around the lid. I have never seen or used this stuff. Is this stuff a clear liquid that smells of white...

Ok, thanks for the info, I will check it out. It's a Bristan shower, are the thermostatic cartridges available to buy ? If it is faulty ? The shower does make a strange noise when running, just prior to chnaging temperature, either way. It makes a kind of whirring noise ?

To be honest, I havn't checked and at present, I am refitting the bathroom and the bath is not yet installed. I will check once it is in, hopefully within a week. However, the missis was in the shower the other day when it went cold and I felt the 'hot' pipe in the now empty bathroom and it...

Judge who ? I think you watch far too much daytime telly !!!! But thanks for your input, however unhelpful !!

Thanks Ben.

Does anyone know a reputable heating plumber/technician in N Wales ? I don't want one of those guys off the secret camera shows, who turn up and charge me £400 to change a washer !! My thermo shower runs hot then cold, I have no idea about boilers !!!! But I do enjoy a HOT shower ...

Thanks. Are they a DIY job, or do I need to disconnect anything inside !!!!

Hi, Does anyone know where I can buy a new white outdoor gas meter cupboard. The one on my drive is split and looks awful !!! Ta muchly.

Thanks for the replies. I have experimented in the garden but only with a hose, which has far more pressure than an emptying basin !!! 45year... Has hit it on the head I think. I guess over a long time the pipe could become blocked, which would be a major pain in the rectum ...

Thanks. So theoretically possible, but not a good idea !!! Any reason why all the water needs to be discharged ? The trap holds water all the time, is that not the same thing ? I am not questioning your advice, I will be following it, but just curious why !!

Hi, I am fitting a new bathroom and don't want to see the waste pipe coming from the basin and I don't want to have to box it in either, as the room will be quite clinical and uncluttered looking. (Well thats the idea anyway) until the Mrs leaves 30 dozen empty shampoo bottles around (why do...

Thanks gents. I have bought the tiles today from a reputable local tile shop. He says they don't need sealing etc. So I assume I could grout in grey without worrying about staining ? What is the "EPOXY" stuff. I would prefer white and if this will keep clean, I would consider it. It is...

Hi, I am now onto my bathroom and thinking of tiling the floor with large 600 x 600 white polished porcelain tiles. From experience, what colour grout suits these tiles best. I am leaning towards white, but am thinking (two kids, both boys !!). I don't want it yellow around the loo ...

Inside AND outside !!!! I think this could be the problem !!!! Thanks, I will check it out !!!

Sorry if this has been asked a million times. I have installed a walk in shower cubicle (3 walls and a sliding door). When I installed the tray, I sealed it with masses of sealant between the wall and the tray, then tiled down to the tray and sealed the joint. As far as I can tell, I...

Thanks for all the replies and useful suggestions and advice as always on here. I have now found the root of the problem and sorted it !! Bit long winded, but here goes: Just incase anyone else is as stoopid as me !!! I bought a "fast fit" kit for the shower head, which came with two...
