I have a Lakes Offset Shower Enclosure. I have installed the shower tray base, tanked the walls, tiled the walls down to the tray and siliconed the tiles where they meet the tray. I am now looking to secure the enclosure channel / bracket to the wall. This is probably a stupid question but...

SpencerFrank, I mixed a mortar mix (sand and cement) and intially tried the ice cube trick but realised it wasn't necessary. With the help of a friend we lowered it in as close to the wall as possible and then pushed it up against the wall and bedded it down. It is now rock solid in the right...

No I realise there are other methods other than on mortar but I am going to fit mine according to the manufacturer's instructions. They say sand and cement, so that's what I am going to use. Then if there is any fault that occurs through a manufacturing fault then I am "on concrete" (so to speak...

All, I have created a timber 4 X 2 plinth to put my quadrant (1000 x 800) stone resin shower tray on. I have 18mm WBP ply on the top. The manufacturer's instructions say to bed the tray into a sand and cement mix. I have a couple of questions regarding the best way to install this tray...

Remember what?

I'm not sure how I could have described it better but yes it's a raised plinth. Erm it should have been obvious because I did mention it in my first post: Thanks for the advice I will purchase a new sheet and go from there.

The ply isn't going over the floor. It's for the top of the plinth as described in the first post. I have built the plinth using 4 by 2 battens and then was going to use the ply over the top. If the recommendation is to use new ply then I'll have to go and bite the bullet and spend...

Thanks for the reply. I have an amount of Hardie Cement Backer board (6mm floor backer board). Would using this over the top of the ply be a better idea? Then the mortar mix would be in contact with this only. Thanks, Daz

Why?

Anyone?

As an update to this post (back in January). I am slowly progressing, but got side tracked on a couple of other jobs! I have built my plinth now. The 18mm plywood that I am using for the plinth I have secured off a friend. It was previously used as a custom built internal door in a business...

I am at the point where I will be installing new lighting to my bathroom. I want to be able to dim my main lighting so I have bought a pull cord dimmer. This allows a maximum of 250 watts of lighting. I have been looking at the various downlighters and still cannot work out whether to go...

I have attached a couple of photos of the ceiling: Is the best course of action still to skim over with plaster? Thanks, Daz

Thanks for the replies. I'll post a photo up later just to be sure it's the finish you describe (which I'm pretty sure it is!). Thanks, Daz

I am in the process of overhauling my bathroom. I originally had a separate bathroom and toilet but have removed the partition wall between them to make a large bathroom area. The ceiling now has a long length of missing plasterboard where the stud wall was. The ceiling for the rest of...
