The walls to be tanked are a combination of plasterboard and plaster over brick. I am installing an over the bath power shower where the spray will be directed onto the "plaster over brick" wall so I thought it would be prudent to tank that wall. Was I mistaken in thinking that filling &...

Thanks to everyone that has contributed. I really appreciate it :D. I am installing a shower and so want to Tank the walls before I tile over them. Would the following sequence be acceptable. 1. Tank the wall. 2. Fill & Feather the entire wall to make level with "powdered"...

Hi Roy C thanks for responding. I have never tiled a wall before so I don't know how easy or not it is to compensate for an uneven wall with tile adhesive. But are you suggesting that I should build out the tile adhesive to the required level by allowing it to dry between coats?

I am retiling my bathroom with large 25mm x 40mm tiles laid horizontally (bricklike). From the sticky in the tiling forum I understand that for large tiles the surface needs to be as flat as possible. However one of my walls is slightly concave. The majority of the wall is only out by...

Just reporting back for any others that might ask a similar question: Made the hole with the 38mm cutter and after centering the tank connector the seal seems water tight. Thanks very much to all that contributed.

:lol: Thanks very much judging by some of the responses I suppose what I should have asked instead is. "For the Speedfit Tank Connector fitting to form a watertight seal do I need to make a hole exactly the diameter of the thread or do I get a few mm grace. The thread measures 36mm so does...

Hi, I have a 22mm JG Speedfit tank connector but it didn't come with a packet or any instructions?? What size hole do I need to make in the cold water tank to install it. I have a 38mm holesaw can that be used? Thanks

I'm not concerned about fitting the Essex Flange just thought it might be unnecessary to make a new hole when there is already one there that could potentially be used. Not sure if you read my previous post but can speedfit pipe be directly inserted into the HWC via the essex flange or is...

At the top of the HWC there is an unused tapping (which I assume would be used for an immersion heater) Instead of drilling a new 38mm hole for the essex flange can I use that instead. I have this 22mm Non Stop Essex Flange from Toolstation, is it likely to fit? For reference I have an...
