Thats the plasterer plastered my wall straight, excellent job. The tiler has a perfect wall now on which to tile.

I am fitting a white mdf ceiling (like laminate flooring) on top of my existing PB ceiling. What size of timber should I use to fix the panels too. In one direction the timber will be fitted to the roof joists. Thanks

I have gutted my bathroom and reinstalling all items in different positions. I have arranged for the tiler to come in 2 weeks to tile the walls and floor. I have read comment on tiling onto top of bath. What are disadvantages, if any, of tiling walls first and then fitting bath ? The...

Have at a look at the Triton website :roll: You should get all the info you need about your shower. You can always phone their technical help

I am installing a completely new bathroom. Everything is in a new position and a Shower enclosure is being added. All the underfloor plumbing is changing. Is it ok to reuse the copper pipe ? I have noticed that the insides of the pipe have dried out since last used (a few weeks) with blue...

How wet was your sand /cement mix ? What did you do at the outer edges of the tray to stop the mix oozing out ? Cheers

Cover the surface with masking tape and carefully mark out the dimensions, tap pitches, size in from edges etc. Measure twice and cut once.

that's right

I have used moisture resistant PB and tanked behind where the shower enclosure will be. I have yet to tank the bath area. I am getting a plasterer in to discuss the job and take his advice. I took down tiles and PB and wrongly assumed the walls would be OK when I replaced the PB. I went...

I am going to try and machine the fibreglass away from the tap holes to allow the backnut to tighten fully against the bath surface. I have got a millcutter which I wil use to co-bore down to create a flat surface. It is about 15mm deep to achieve that. If it becomes too difficult, I will...

I have re-sheeted my bathroom. I placed my bath against the new wall and although the bath butts against the plasterboard at each end, (joint in the middle of bath) there is a gap of about 10mm in the middle tapering out after about 400mm each. Can I level the wall by slapping on the required...

Very good advice, but too late for me. I drilled two perfect holes with a 29mm hole saw. But when I fitted the taps the back nut fouled with only 20% of the surface touching the bath. i.e it is not tightening against the full area underneath. I now have to make a filler piece. :oops:

What is the difference between the different coloured pipes ? Are they for different apllications ? Thanks

Thanks for that. What about the positioning of the tiles if both are slightly tilted out at the bottom ? Will there not be a clash in the corner ? Also what about the look of the bottom row of tiles as they exit the shower area and meet flush tiles on the walls outside the enclosure ...

Use a diamond hole saw. I am sure you will be able to hire one from your local tool hire centre.

I have not yet bought a shower tray. Is it wise to purchase one with tiling upstands or can a good installation be had using a flat top shower tray ? thanks

any advice gratefully received.

I will shortly be re-fitting out my bathroom and I am adding a shower and enclosure. Can I fit copper pipe, to take the cold mains water to the shower, into the cavity or should I fit plastic coated pipe ? I was thinking about the condensation that may appear on the cold pipe. thoughts please.
