anyone? :)

The mechanical timer on my boiler is knackered, looking to replace it with either another mechanical or digital one. Have been having a look on ebay but most of the timers seem to be for newer worcester models - would I be able to fit one of these newer ones? For example -...

ok. the shower is about 5 or 6 years old. would it be part number 903.33 that i need?

Hi, last week I noticed a drip coming from the shower head after switching it off. Now it has turned into a constant trickle of water. I am not a plumber but did install the shower myself about 2 1/2 years ago so going to try and fix it myself. From doing a search I've learned that a...

Job now eventually completed, thanks very much!

Here is a pic of my CU: What do you think then would it take an RCD/RCBO? Otherwise the fused connection unit sounds like a good idea. (The only elctrics in the bathroom are the light, fan, and soon the mirror...) Ban-all-sheds, you are correct that I have little knowledge of...

Hi, had another quick question, is it necessary to install a transformer before the mirror? Inside the mirror there is an 'electronic ballast', I'm not sure if this does the same thing? Thanks again.

Yes, I have these. But I will be able to take them down from a junction box at the light itself? I thought that's what you meant before. This would be more convienent than taking it from the switch which is located outside the bathroom. I'm not sure how to tell an MCB from an RCBO. On the...

Indeed the mirror is meant to be connected to the lighting circuit with no indication that an FCU is required. I am not really sure about the RCD part... before starting, I was able to isolate the bathroom light, hall light and one bedroom light only (sockets in hall and bedroom still...

Hi. I have a new mirror which I'm going to attempt to wire in myself. It is rated at 32W. At present there is a bathroom light with a timed extractor fan connected. All apparently wired as shown in the circuit diagram in the reference section, although I am unsure as to the exact location of the...

15mm compression x 1/2 inch tap connector with fibre washer now fitted, and no leak! Thanks for your help.

Yes, this is where the drip is coming from. I'll try fitting a half inch tap connector. Thanks for your advice.

Hi. I installed a close coupled toilet. There is a drip from the compression fitting between the pipe and the inlet of the toilet. I'm not sure there's meant to be an olive in there or not. The size of olive that comes with 15mm compression fittings doesn't fit in the plastic threaded part of...

I didn't say anything about tiling to the ceiling... I only went about a foot above the shower enclosure (my flat has high ceilings). In fact I don't have any cut tiles at all, never mind slivers. What I meant was that the two columns of tiles closest to the corner ie at 90 deg. to each...

Removed the strip today, thankfully it peeled off easily and somehow left a neat silicon seal intact between tray and wall... even more luckily, due to my batten perhaps being a bit on the low side, I had an almost perfect gap, 2mm above and 2mm below tile. I've stuck down the tiles and will...

If I remove the strip, the gap will only increase by about 1mm, which isn't too bad. Do I just silicon the gap between tray and wall, wait for the silicon to dry, then tile directly on that?

I did sort of start at the bottom, after putting the strip down I fixed a horizontal batton to the wall at one tile height and began there, as to be honest I was still unsure about the strip thing, so thought I could go back and finish off with the bottom row when I knew more about it. I am...

Hi I am a 1st time tiler, and thanks to careful planning and some handy advice from this forum I have managed to tile/grout the two side walls of the corner shower tray I fitted. All that needs to be done now is the bottom row of tiles (both walls) and the corner column (again both walls)...

Thanks for your help. The trap you have suggested was very similar to the one I had but the other one in screwfix with the 19mm seal seems like it might work ok. Thanks again.

Hi. I have just removed my bath with shower over with the intention of fitting a shower tray. As the floor is solid concrete I bought a tray which is raised on legs. However, with the tray sitting at its maximum height and a standard shallow trap fitted, the waste pipe now has a very slight...
