I've got my bathroom boarded now with Marmox Multiboard. Just got to wait for the tile adhesive to go off on the small area of wall I had to stick some to so I can fit the mechanical fixings. I'm just not 100% certain on what joints should use waterproof tape (and which one to use) and which...

Can someone please explain to me why fitting the tray in the description above is not recommended using "dabs" of adhesive, rather than a solid bed of mortar when the tray can also be fitted on legs which only have about a 2" diameter contact patch over 16 areas of the tray ? Surely dabs of...

Hi, looking for a bit of advice before I take the plunge and spend any cash on summat that may not be feasible. I'm going to be fitting a Carron Whirlpool bath and plumbing in an Aqualisa Quartz Overflow Filler so we don't have any taps on show. If our lass has a bath, she would normally wash...

Thanks for the reply cdbe and also for spotting the typo re: DPM & DPC :whistle:. All of the bungalows around here have the same double DPC, two courses apart, so I guess it was just how the developer did it at the time. I was going to try to cut the hole in the new bit of DPM as accurate as I...

No-one ? :( Pretty please :D

I wonder if some of you guys would mind giving me some pointers on the best way to finish off the work I'm having to prepare for fitting my shower tray on a concrete floor please ? I've posted this in the Building Forum as it seems more apt than the Plumbers Forum and I've attached some pics to...

I'm glad about that as I spent quite a long time a few years ago when I originally bought the fan, researching the best one to get (y) Like me you mean ? :LOL::LOL::LOL: Tbh John, like I said earlier, I'll put up with the noise as the fan appears to be doing it's job. I was just trying to...

I'm surprised you saying they're loud John coz without the ducting connected it's virtually silent ! I honestly thought 90% of the noise I was experiencing was from the actual airflow through the ductwork. :unsure: According to the spec sheet, the one I've got has got a ball-bearing motor...

Hi, dunno if this is the correct forum to ask this but I am changing my bathroom around totally to how it used to be and I was wondering what the best way to alter the extraction setup would be. Currently, there is one vent hole in the ceiling, about 500mm away from where the old bath used to...

Thanks Deluks. Looks like I won't have to spend half as much as I thought then :D Always good news forra Yorkshireman :LOL:

I've just found that the elements board can be bought in 2400mm x 1200mm sizes according to one site advertising it and it appears to be just over half the price of Wedi boards. If the 12.5mm thick variant is OK to bridge a 400mm stud spacing, I think I'll go with that. I've seen some videos on...

This is my worry after reading up on the subject. Also, the existing bath had leaked ever so slightly at the silicone seal around it's edge as I found out when I ripped out the old Stramit wall. A four-inch deep section of it was just basically black rot ! There seem to be so many much better...

Yeah, wouldn't be too much work admittedly - cheers. So just shoving some extra noggins in to match the board edges is the way to go, the 400mm spacing between the vertical studs isn't a problem ? The bathroom has one external wall but one backs onto the dining room, the other two back onto...

Hi. After originally thinking that I was going to re-board my bathroom in moisture resistant plasterboard (other side of studs are boarded in 12.5mm sound panel) and tanking it, I've seen that most tilers are starting to recommend the foam-type backer boards instead, such as Abacus Elements or...

No worries Hugh. I decided to start a new thread seeing as it was basically a different question so I did that but then realised I couldn't delete this post - d'oh :oops:. I got a similar reply to this on that thread as well so at least I know I'm on the right track which is good :D. The waste...

Yup, that's the one I bought together with the Geberit frame Norton (y) You had me worried there linking to that coz I thought "Oh damn have I bought the wrong piece" :eek::LOL:. Thanks again.

Thanks buddy, much appreciated. (y)

I posted this in my original Drainage alterations thread but it's a different question really so I've started a new thread. Apologies to the mods if I've done wrong :whistle:. I'm going to be fitting a Wall-Hung Vitra toilet onto a Geberit frame. The frame comes with a 90° 90mm bend piece that...

Can I trouble you with another question please Hugh ? I'm going to be fitting a Wall-Hung Vitra toilet onto a Geberit frame. The frame comes with a 90° 90mm bend piece that firmly attaches to the frame but I wanted to take the pipe straight out of the back of the toilet, through the wall outside...

Sorry for the late reply (family issues) and thanks Hugh. I see your point now re: the bends on the bath waste. I'm quite happy to go along with your original suggestion of running the bath waste into the soil outside. Sorry for being so paranoid and not listening to an expert :whistle:. I'll...
