Hi all, Having a nightmare time with this bathoorm install. Bought a flexi push fit 22mm pipe for the hot bath tap, fittied it and it's leeking so need to get it off. Went and bought the removal tool from screwfix and a replacememnt flexi pipe, only to find that I can't use the tool to get...

Thanks for all the info Richard and sorry for not replying sooner. I've been very busy in the bathroom. Took this tile stuff off the wall to find loads of sticky glue which I've had to remove! So needed to replaster where that came out of and, of course, there's the floorboards that needed...

OK, will upload some photos in a bit. Just a quick question about cutting the boards out; I see in your pics that there's a pipe near the surface, which is what I have. How did you manage to cut the boards without cutting the pipe? As I know where two pipes are I can work around them, but there...

Yup, that was my thought too... About the sheets, not the Xmas (thick moment: what the heck does SWMBO mean? Trust me, if I don't get this floor + bathroom useable within the next week I'll be in no possition to expect anything on Christmas day! :roll: ) My main problem is the board that's...

Thanks for the reply. I can't take it all out, I don't have the tools and I'm not experienced with this sort of thing. I just want to repair the damaged part enough that I can use a better material (marine ply?) to board over the whole area where the bath will go so that it's solid. I...

Hi, Not sure if you all check other boards, but I've been having a hell of a time with a leaking shower. Shower is now removed and we've decided to install a bath. Trouble is, the rotten boards are obviously not going to hold the weight of a full bath and I'd prefer not to end up in the...

Well, it has been about 15 years since I worked in the trade so I would expect a fair few things to have changed! Anyway, I've uploaded some pictures so you can see what's what. I've marked what pipe is hot/cold etc so you can get a better idea of the mess I need to sort out! As you can...

Plumbing for bath etc.

Many thanks to everyone who's posted. Sorry I seem to have instigated a forum war! :shock: :lol: Everyone who takes the time to respond to a post such as mine makes it easier for those of us who aren't professional plumbers to get the job done in the best way possible If any of you had...

Thought I'd start a new topic as the last one's gone off somewhere and this is a whole differen't ballgame anyway. Can't replace the waste of the shower and, for many other reasons, we've decided to fit a bath instead. Due to the poor work previously carried out by whoever decided they were...

After having a proper look I don't think that's going to work. Any more idea anyone? Even if it's just a quick fix for now until something more permanant is suggested; really need it up and running again. Update: OK, I decided to take it apart. The whole thing's been bodged togehter and is...

Thanks, will take a proper look tomorrow. It's always so difficult to see if they're the right thing when looking at them online!
