Hello I'm not sure this is in the right forum? I want to remove the mains power from my old shower unit. I've fitted a shower pump etc, so the old mains one is now obsolete. I suppose I will have to disconnect it from the consumer unit? Is this a simple job? Any tips/advise will be...

Thanks for the replies :D I think! :lol: Mick

Hello I have a 'BnQ special' shower pump at the moment. It's OK and does the job but I'd like summat more powerful. I'm looking at a 6 Bar Stuart. But is it too powerful for home use? I've heard 'stories' of tanks imploding etc!! Any advise will be appreciated Mick

Thanks for the reply Very nice tip that mate ... thanks Mick

many thanks for the replies Will the larger gaps be a problem around the shower area? I am gonna fill them with epoxy grout so I gues they will be ok Mick

thanks for the reply ... what thickness do you think will be best? 3 or 4mm? Mick

Hello The tiles I will be using in the ensuite measure 30x60cm. Around the shower area I hope to use an epoxy grout (probably EasyPoxy from BAL). I've heard it's a nightmare to use, but I'll cross that bridge soon :) I was wondering what will be the best size of gap for the grout? I'm...

thanks for the reply mate I guessed that would be the best way ... thanks for confirming it Mick

Hello I've done some 'basic' plumbing, moving sinks etc. Now I want to move a radiator, summat I've never done before :? Is it possible to turn off the central heating water supply as one would with the cold/hot before a standard plumbing job?? Or do I need to drain the whole...

Hello My dining room ceiling has some water damage. It's not massive but too big for a 'bit of filler' :-) It is artexed with what I call the 'wave' pattern like this: Is it possible to repair artex to get it 'close' to the original or is it a case of starting all over? Any...

Hello I've followed all the excellent advise so far. Around my ensuite shower is aqua board and the area will be tanked. Next I will be tiling. I'm not sure what adhesive or grout I will be using yet, but hopefully they will both be waterproof. I am playing with the 'idea' of using...

Thanks mate Mick

Hello I've got a strap-on boss with 40mm grommet for a 110mm soil pipe. I've gonna fit it tomorrow, but I'm still a bit unsure how big to drill the hole in the soil pipe. On the inside of the boss is a raised lip that I'm assuming will fit inside the hole? I'd be grateful if someone can...

Thanks for the reply Where's the best place to buy that mate? Mick

Hello Can someone please recommend a good mold free white silicon to use around a shower area? Thanks in advance ... Mick

Thanks for the reply mate. So am I right in thinking that there's no 'dedicated' 40mm boss? That they come in a standard size and adaptors need to be used? Mick

Hello I need to fit a connection to my internal 110mm soil pipe for my shower drain. A few question please: 1. The drain will be 40mm solvent type pipes. Will the hole I drill in the soil pipe be 40mm or more/less? 2. What is the best type drill for accurate cutting? 3. Can one buy...

Thanks for the advise mate ... I'm just batting ideas around at the mo'. I'm fittng a wall hung toilet. No problems getting the stud work etc strong enough as I'm ok with that kinda stuff. However, it does make the pan connections a little trickier :? Mick

Just wondering What are the flexi connectors like? They'd make the job a breeze! The look quite tough in construction Mick

Hello Has anyone used one of these? They could make the job I'm doing a whole lot easier! They appear quite robust in construction, but they have re-enforcing ribs that look like they could build up 'crap' ... maybe not? Any advise will be appreciated Thanks in advance ... Mick
