We went through a few different ones when redoing our first floor shower room. I’d steer clear of humidistat/motion sensing ones. As the ambient humidity in the uk is quite high anyway we couldn’t get them to work properly and would always go off at random times when wet/raining outside even...

We've got this shower mixer which we are very happy with: https://www.screwfix.com/p/triton-elina-exposed-mixer-shower-valve-fixed-chrome/642fj Would echo above with respect to access/replacement in future, and writing off electric shower (we've had one before and there's no going back once...

I would be looking at grout and slight tray movement when someone is stood in it. Hence why just re-siliconing it without weighing down the shower tray might not have worked. I would recommend doing as suggested- stand in shower, shower head directed at small areas and ideally if you have...

I would suggest methodically using your shower head over each area in turn whilst someone is downstairs (presumably below is still exposed)- could be grout, could be tray movement when someone is stood in it. Hairline cracks in grout that are almost invisible can cause a substantial leak. A...

I found it really straightforward- just time and patience. I was laying over floorboards so just overlaid with 6mm ply, securing 150mm centres. I posted here with some links to tools/skim coat that I used. With the skim coat I just used a plasterers towel to spread it across the ply and then...

Used this company a few times now. They've always been good. https://www.flooringsupplies.co.uk/collections/glue-down-luxury-vinyl-flooring

Sounds nice! Yeah the logic I am applying is that I am saving on labour and thus we have a couple of nice bits to go in this shower room- the tray/waste, and a japanese toilet which the wife wanted. Everything else is distinctly mid range. That said I'm still well over 6k just for fixtures and...

Thanks yes a fair point, and I have been debating whether choice of tray/waste was the right one as they were quite expensive. That said, I needed a certain size, this was the only one I could find, and I wanted a steel one to eliminate risk of cracking and wasn’t keen on any other material...

Yeah it was a bit pricey. Matches my overpriced shower tray though :) Thank you. The instructions are perplexing but having had another look it is definitely a different design to that waterless one. Forgot I could just run it under the tap to find out tbh

Hi all, I'm installing a shower tray and waste at the moment. This is the waste: https://www.my-bette.com/en/product/features-and-installation/bettesolid-30-side-outlet-0-6-l-s#2 I assumed there'd be a trap built in and the installation videos are a little ambiguous. However in the written...

Have you read the technical data sheet (and some of the screwfix reviews)? You primed the ply I believe- data sheet of that product specifies subfloor must be absorbent. Is this the potential issue if this has reduced porosity. This is my best (non professional- just DIY er) guess from looking...

Hi all, I have a steel shower tray designed to sit directly onto the subfloor (it has rigid foam inserts under it that are then glued to floor). I've attached a photo of what I've been left with from the previous shower tray install. I can obviously replace the boards where I can secure it on...

Yep that's what I did- just drew a pencil line around the row that I was gluing so I could apply the F44 to the right area. Then just use a paint scraper or similar to remove any excess around the edges. And repeat for next row. All pretty straightforward really. I assume you've skimmed over...

You can start in the middle of the room. You can start where you like really. The most recent one I did I wanted the 'V' pattern running from the middle of the entrance (doorway). Obviously just make sure it is all running perfectly straight. I do this by dry laying them along the line and then...

I've done exactly what you proposing I believe, when doing a two sided enclosure. Horizontal batten spaced so this is essentially my second row of tiles. Positioning was based on dry laying them out (just on the floor, with spacers I'd be using) and making sure I would end up with even height...

little late in some respects as I've removed a bathroom ceiling- that said it runs throughout my downstairs most of which still requires renovating. The board itself I'm less concerned about as this does appear to have the appearance of plasterboard (sandwiched in between the outer paper...

Ok thanks for clarifying. That makes my life easier….

Hi all, I'm renovating a small wc/shower room and I've removed the plasterboard on the ceiling (was just easier as I needed to access services etc). I am now in the process of installing some noggins so I can fix the new boards securely. To the right of the room I have a small gap between...

Sorry to revisit this and appreciate this might be reaching the point where it might be questioned if I understand the basics enough to be fiddling with this- but it is moreso (I think) just double checking I understand correctly and wanting to learn, to do it properly. The female socket states...

No doubt a stupid question- how do you use the single loop terminal, to next light fitting?
