As i previously stated , I need to keep the exsisting grey waste pipe (plastic) that leads out of the wall . I want to use the new waste (chrome ) but the diametre of the section that would go to the grey is different otherwise it would be a straight swap .Hope this makes sense .

Hi, update , i have moved the bath forward towards the shower end , i have also chased the pipe down the wall , i have leveled the bath and secured the leg s,still have brackets to do ,will do that when i finish the frame for the tap end gap. i bit of good measuring and i should have the pipe...

The decor panels are attached in 300mm intervals via staples . I put some 10mm hardboard in between to accomodate the shower etc to make it more solid. They are very light and glueing nailing or stapling is recomended . Extending the exsisting batons to up the extra couple of inch i need would...

sounds better the more i think about doing that . The batons i have now are only 10mm would it be easier to rip them out an replace with something biggeror extend the exsisting ones . the gap is 3inch

The waste goes outside but i only have say 300mm coming in and i will need 500mm . I have the 500mm flexis , i have got some more brackets and sealent .Just need to extend the grey waste pipe into the one i have. if i remeber i needed a reducer .

Hi, i am afraid i am going to have to admit defeat on this one , i am after all going to move the bath so the tap ends have the gap . Now the bath is perfectly level andi put the panels to the bath but at the end with the gap and the wood i put panels to the wood thus meaning if i push the bath...

The wall are breeze block and plaster , the decor panels were put on with batons after the bath was seated , leveled then bolted to the wall with brackets , the bath then had a run of plaster around the edge to fill any large gaps . I then sealed the edge of bath with silicon . Then the panels...

I have pvc decor panels on the wall , anyway i have just had my son in law who as had a look at it , he is not a plumber but works in engineering . He spotted my problem pretty easily and as adviced me to level the piece of wood for holding the tiles with plaster then fit the tiles , If that...

I am thinking of starting again and putting the gap at the tap ends , i will have to drill a 16mm hole in the end of bath to accomodate shower pipe feed. The only problem i can forsee is the waste , if i go 100mm/150mm in i will be short on the waste pipe that goes outside through the wall .

what would be the longest length of 22mm to 3/4 flexi i could purchase. May have to start again and swap ends . It is possible but i would need some longer flexi pipes and unseal evrything.

Thanks for trying to help , can you recomend what i can use prior to putting the tiles back on , and should i go level with the bath or just a touch higher , and lift it slightly at the corner.

Im afraid i have to hold my hand up and admit i have made a mistake, i have striped the tiles of the wood and i have noticed that the wood is not level with the bath it is aprox 4mm below the level , i thought by adding the tiles it would bring them level and not cause a problem. I am thinking...

Just bit the bullet and completely shower sprayed the tile section while looking underneath and thier is a drip and slight run of water running down towards the corner .

No leaks or drips when shower is without someone in, as soon as it used the leak then apears down one corner , i am certain is is coming from the tile section.

I have replaced a couple of parts and after running the shower all is well with the conections , however i have now noticed that the tile section is not completely watertight as i am getting water coming down and dripping in the corner as if it is running towards me as the other corner is dry ...

Thanks for the posotive comments, all i can do with the pipe going through the tiles is try to seal it the best i can , going to replace and rethink set up.

The bath is finished , the tiling at the end is also finished and sealed ,the service pipe basicaly sits on the tiles , thats why i am going to replace it , i thought by putting it lower down it would not be unsightly . the leak is under the bath were on the nut you can just see the leak seeping...

please bear in mind work is still in progress - in the pic with the flexi showing you can just see the leak m this is aprox after running shower for about 30 secs

I will try and get a picture uploaded .
