A shoulder height shower head... would you really want that? I wouldn't remove floorboards and rest the bath on your joists if i were you. New bath, new position would be the best option IMO.

Use an adjustable spanner if you don't want to risk chewing up any nuts :idea:

The inlet filters are there to protect your shower valve from such things as limescale. If you pierce them you'll be in danger of the limescale doing damage to the valve itself. You could always install one of these in the pipework if limescale is your problem.

You need a fall on the soil pipe of 1" every 4 ft. So you're looking at a 2 1/2" fall on that run. The measurement to the centre of toilet outlets are normally around 7 1/2", so if you can get that fall from the WC to the soil stack you're ok.

One of these to cut it. A couple of these to connect the cast to plastic. Some of this. A few of these.

Yes hire a core drill. 1 1/2" waste pipe for a kitchen sink.

It should be all made up before fitting. If all the tap connections etc are made up well it shouldn't leak.

One of these possibly? There is a 15mm x 1/2" aswell. Depends what size the female thread is on the shower valve.

You need to get under those floorboards and see how it runs. If it has nothing tee'ing into it (basin/bath etc), cut it back as far as you can and cap it off. If it tee's into the bath waste pipe, cut out the tee and replace with a straight bit of pipe.

It will only flow away properly if you have enough fall on it, if its almost horizontal it won't (as you know). If the waste is above floor level try raising the tray a bit to get the fall. If its under the floor this could end up being a bit more involved. If you don't want to remove any...

So instead of the shower tray, you are installing a bath? Re-new the waste pipe completely if you can, its best not to join on to the old waste if you can re-new it. If you have to join it on to the old waste pipe, give it a good rodding first. It could have a fair bit of gunge in it.

You need a better fall on your waste pipe. :idea:

Whatever the size of your inlets/outlets on your pump are, run the same size pipework. On a 1.5 bar pump they would normally be 15mm, running in 15mm will be fine.

You more than likely have a blockage in the supply pipe. As Softus has asked, what gunk? No it won't.

A loud clunking noise will have nothing to do with it being a push button toilet. Its more likely that when the inlet valve is shutting off, its rattling a pipe that needs a clip in it.

It will be if you first fix your flooring, you won't be able to glue the pipe to trap unless you can get at it from a ceiling below.

Is this a new tap that you've just fitted? If so it could be airlocked.

Not really a BB fan myself, but the misses always watches it so when she started ranting on about what was happening I had to see what was occuring. Bit OTT if you ask me really, all blown out of proportion. Jade Goody is a "talk first - think after" type, I can see why her remarks have been...
