sounds really obvious now I know :D Thanks ... Mick

Thanks for the 2 replies What is M&F? TIA ... Mick

Hello I've ripped out my old ensuite as you can see from the piccie below! When I come to fitting the toilet I want to move it more to the left and closer to the wall. Not too close to the wall, of course :) . If I only move it a few inch to the left that will be a bonus. If any of...

Sorry mate I keep calling it a bottle trap. I've actually got a shower trap, sorry! I will check out those things you reccommend ... I aint got a clue what they are or look like! :D Mick

Many thanks for the reply. I have a couple bottle traps already mate. I'm just gonna have to use one of those. It will mean that I'll have to cut a bigger hole in the floor than I wanted to, but it will be well hidden under the tray so it's not a big problem. I will need to work out a method...

Thanks mate What to you think about using a smallish ubend? I got a small one when I fitted my rolltop bath and it works a treat. Mick

Being a bit thick here mate :oops: Do you mean the length of it? Not sure about this! Depth is: 180mm Width is: 70mm The hole will probably be about 45mm for the 40mm pipe Mick

Thanks for the reply What you suggest sounds the best solution so far mate. I was also thinking of making a Ubend from various pipe fittings. That way I could have a nice straight pipe coming from the shower tray and tailor make the ubend to fit as necessary. I think I might need to add a...

Thanks for the reply The shower tray will sit flush on the tiles (to keep a low profile), then 25mm ply. The drain pipes will need to be well below the ply because I will need to drill a hole through one joist to get to the soil pipe I've got 2 bottle traps and the top of drain outlet is...

thanks for the reply It's quite a low profile tray. So it's essential that what ever drain method will be, it will need to be under the ply floor. Then it's a simple drain pipe to the soil pipe, no prob's with that. I'm looking at a Hepvo but it needs to be maint' free and I'm not sure if...

Hello I got a nice stone resin tray. It will sit on tiles. Under that will be 25mm of ply. The bottle trap I got will not clear (go underneath) the ply etc. So basically I can't use it. Once the tray is fitted that will be it. So if I fit an alternative to the bottle trap it will need...

Hello I think this topic has probably been thrashed over the years: :-) I've looked through the forums but I can't find a definitive answer or a reccommended product. I've sussed that some kinda vinyl/plastic wall covering will probably be the best to make a shower enclosure waterproof...

Hello We have ripped out the old en-suite/shower room. I was stunned at the amount of water damage. Water must have been getting behind the tiles for years! Luckily there is no rot to the stud walls. All the plaster board around the shower area will need replacing with something more...

Hello First thing. Many thanks to all who advised me when I was tiling my bathroom. That project is finished now and it looks great. I've now moved onto my ensuite bathroom. This should go a lot slicker as I learnt a lot with previous jobs. When I pulled out the old shower (in the...

Hello We have manged to misplace the 'hole cover' from our shower. It's a McAlpine shower trap and the hole where the cover sits is appx 45mm. I've attached a piccie Does anyone know where I could buy a spare one? TIA ... Mick

Hello I will be fitting a new shower soon. The shower drain/trap is a 40mm pushfit type. I want the remainder of the pipe work to be solvent as it will be behind stud walls and it gives me more confidence knowing it will be glued together. Is there a straight adaptor that convert push to...

thanks for the reply. Mick

Hello I'm soon to tile my bathroom. On 2 of the walls is a kinda satin paint. Should I PVA over the walls before tiling to help the adhesive stick to the paint? Also. Is it good practice to PVA over bare plaster? Thanks ... Mick

Jesus wept :D Thanks for the reply mate. Will that product also work as grout? Mick

Hello Thanks to the excellent guide I am now ready to tile over my 25mm ply floor. Thing is ... I can't find the reccommended BAL adhesive in Warrington Cheshire. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places! Does anyone know where I can get it from please? Does anyone have any experience...
