    basin mixer tap - low pressure

    It's worth checking the quoted operating pressure of your basin and bath mixers - it's possible the 1m difference is the cause (that only adds 0.1bar) or maybe the basin one is faulty? I have a similar low pressure gravity system, and after much hunting have used Tavistock mixers on bath and...

    Tiled side bath panel

    I am busy making a similar construction, so I'll share what I have done but also encourage other answers! 1. I plan to use 12.5 mm Aquapanel as it's more dimensionally stable than WBP Ply. But I'd buy it from Wickes as it's a bit cheaper. You can cut it with a sharp knife or a fine toothed...

    Soil pipe woes

    Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a "knuckle" bend? Does it just mean it goes through 90 degrees in a short distance?

    Soil pipe woes

    I have a challenge regarding a bathroom refit! Not sure if this is a plumbing or carpentry prob. Here goes... The top of my current (11cm diameter) soil pipe runs parallel and between the floor joists. It's top is 6cm below the top of the floor joists. A branch then a 92.5 degree bend...
