I have block paving on my driveway, it's about 10 years old and was originally brindle colour, over the years it's lost its colour and is very dull. Is there a paint I can use on it that does not make it look like a gloss or matt painted garage floor, am after a paint that will change the...

If you are fitting into a stud wall it's sods law that where you drill wont be into the wood stud!! Make sure you have a sharp masonry drill, stick masking tape on the wall to stop the drill skidding around on the tile face, mark on the tape where you want to drill. The best fixings for stud...

Yes, pipework will go inside the airing cupboard up to the loft, I am doing the pipework in the shower up to the loft and am getting a plumber to do everything else and to check over.

In the process or getting a power shower. Here's the details: The hot water cylinder is in the airing cupboard, the salamander pump will be on a shelf just above it, the cold water tank is in the loft 2 foot above the pump. The run from here to the shower is about 20 feet, the 9inch diameter...

Yeah understand now doh! Off to Screwfix tomorrow, been there for a few bits already last week.

I guessed I need 15mm x 15mm as the copper pipe is 15mm and the 15mm nuts on the compression joints fit nicely on the shower connectors

I guess you mean this, I have only managed to find 15mm x 1/2, do you happen to know if they come in 15mm x 15mm?

The plasterboarding has not been put up yet

This photo is of the connector for the handheld shower rose, it has to go through 12mm plasterboard and 12mm stone tiles so the thread showing in the photo is what is left afterwards, there's about 5mm of thread left, if I use PTFE tape should this be ok?

Have now got the fi fittings, can you tell me if I just use PTFE tape around the threads or should I use a rubber washer at the end thats goes onto the shower connections?

Am fitting a stone shower tray, the base is chipboard. I will be putting marine ply over this and then a weak mortar mix before I lay the tray. The shower tray I have got is a low profile tray, I obviously don't want to build up the height by using really thick marine ply so what is the...

Thankyou very much for your help

The thread on the power shower feeds goes onto a 15mm nut so guess it's a internal thread.

Does the fi fitting come in 15mm both ends as a normal 15mm conpression bolt fits the hot and cold feed perfectly......it's only the olive that doesn't fit properly

Here's another question i've got while renovating my bathroom. The power shower i have has got has two outlets, 1 for the overhead rose and 1 for the handheld rose, these are connected using standard copper 15mm compression joints using olives. The hot and cold feeds look different, they have...

I am getting a Salamander pump, guess it has 22mm connections, anyway the Power Shower I have got has 15mm connections, where would be the best place to fit a reducer, nearer the pump or nearer the shower?
