I'm personally not that fussed about having a niche too but unfortunately not my decision :)

Thanks, Woody. If I didnt add the layer of ply to the bedroom side of the wall, this would leave just the back side of the 9.5mm pb for the back of the niche and for tile backer to fix to. The length of the niche will be roughly 900mm so the 9.5mm pb would be unsupported for this length.

Hi all, I'm in the process of building a stud wall that will separate a bathroom (shower wall) and a bedroom. I also plan to build in a shower niche. On the bedroom side, I was planning on fixing ply board to the stud wall so that on the bathroom side I have a solid surface to fix the tile...

Thank you, that's great to know. It does seem like they think of many eventualities in their design. We went for Geberit in the end. Just waiting to fit now.

Thanks again, I ended up going for the Sigma cistern and the metal flush plate

Thank you for getting back to me. This is great information, thanks. I don't think we'd be looking at implementing an infrared flush. The flush plates do look much better for the Sigma system. Not sure if I'm looking in the wrong place but is it normal for the Sigma flush plates to be more...

Hi all, I'm looking to install a Geberit concealed cistern and I'm a bit lost on whether I should be going for the Alpha or Sigma cistern? Are there any major differences between the two? Thank you

That's a great shout, thank you for getting back to me

Thank you for getting back to me. Our current bathroom has been really shoddily done so the whole floor will likely be coming up to reveal the joists and make re-plumbing easier. The floorboards currently run under the paramount board walls and over the landing. I'll likely have to lift this...

Hey, I'm looking for some advice on a DIY project I'll be starting soon. We're looking to start refurbishing our bathroom and there are a few things I need to solve beforehand. The walls are non load bearing paramount boards covered in tiles. The walls are all a bit of a mess so I'm going to...

Thanks for your response, sparkwright. I had a gut feeling a potential fix would be more invasive than what I'd tried. I think the main issue for me is the scarring that you can see in the attached images. I think this is because I've sanded the filler back flush and then the filler has shrunk...

Good afternoon all, I'm looking for some advice on how to deal with a recurring issue I have with a hallway wall. As you can see in the attached images, the wall is cracking and the paint is crazing infront of where there are embedded central heating pipes. The pipes were wrapped in duct tape...
