Would you start with a complete tile at floor level or at shower tray level? Which tile pattern would you use?

The shower tray that I bought has diagonal edges so it is really difficult to apply the Mapei waterproofing tape before applying liquid membrane to the joint between the tray edge and the wall. I filled the gap with CT1 which has provided a waterproof seal. Can I just apply liquid membrane over...

It's only 7-8 tiles in total so hopefully it's fine

I was told by the shop i bought the tiles from to use 2mm spacing for 600x600mm porcelain floor tiles. I have since read online that it is not recommended but I have already laid some tiles. Will anything bad happen?

Leaks appears to have been sorted with the above advice. Many thanks everyone. I hope the silicone fix will last!

Points 1 & 2 I'm sure about. For point 3, there was no sign of any washer supplied that will marry between the external nut and the button of the cistern, is that was what you meant?

Doesn’t appear to be any damage. I’ll leave the silicone 24 hours to set this time.

Must be overightening cos it's still leaking!

It’s conical and the bottom of the cone will be married to the bottom of the cistern. I’ll try a bead of silicone there.

Brand new close coupled toilet and has been leaking from below the inlet valve from the get go. I removed whole valve and retightened to the max I could with no luck. What else could I do?

Basically i want to protect the pipe from hardbacker because there is one small section where the board is going to go very close if not be just touching the pipe (due to uneven wall), so want to be extra safe.

Would gaffe tape work?

When trying to mount a shower valve onto these two 3/4” tap extender fittings, the washer ends up getting destroyed and washer leaks out immediately. What am I doing wrong? I have tried both rubber and fiber washers.

Somehow the ball of the shower head came off during installation and I cant put it back on. Any idea how to insert it?

Sorted thanks

I’ll give it another try, they must be really stiff.

For some reason I cannot turn the filling loop valves. Does this type of valve need a tool?

Thanks, got a plumber coming over
