Thanks, think maybe fix u channel to wall and ceiling and then a H channel on top of the screen I already have.

Is there anything about to increase the height of bath shower screens? Got an L shaped bath and the height of screen for that is 1400mm, looking to increase that (its fixed screen) maybe even take it up to the ceiling. Appreciate any ideas.

Ha, maybe but belt and braces never hurt.. Besides the amount of rubbish I've consumed past week I think a cast iron bath would need extra support..

Got a new bath its come with 4 legs similar to those shown in the image below but what I'm also after is something similar to the single leg circled to put in the middle just to give a bit more support, have tried searching but cant seem to find anything, but dont know if thats down to not...

ive got a small stud wall (hide shower pipes)to aquapanel thats approx 850mm across and 2300mm high. I've bought 2 sheets of 1200x900x12.5mm aquapanel, am i ok to put these one on top of the other or do i have to cut the top board in half so that joint is staggered? Seems a bit daft if its only...

Looking to buy a thermostatic shower mixer, was looking at Bristan Quadrato (got a great deal on matching taps), have seen this for around 190 but looking around i can see almost identical copies for a LOT less. Is there really that much difference between branded showers and unbranded? Would...

Got it off with a 15 spanner in the end... ptfe appears to have done the trick, but will definitely replace at some stage. Thanks for the help.

Turned water off at the main outside, but really struggling to undo the packing gland

Yep, i've tried to open up the spindle as had a look at youtube vids but mine seems to be leaking far worse than any of those clips - assume it has to be open to replace it and worried if i get it off i could have a real problem wit the water being released? so I'll have to turn the mains off...

Had an electrician come round to fit an extractor fan in my bathroom, what do you think regarding the location? Obviously steam rises so is its location really going to affect its performance? I'd have expected it to have been installed higher up and maybe more towards the corner , I can only...

Haha, can't say fairer than that. Have asked for a couple of quotes but haven't heard anything back yet.

Is it worth me getting an extractor fan fitted in the bathroom, as you can see there is a window that offers ventilation and only place the fan could go is basically right next to the window so am wondering if it is worth it or do you think the window does the job - it has a vent at the top and...
