Hey All, We’ve just moved into a property and they’ve had the conservatory converted into an extension, however, because the floor was lower in the old conservatory they’ve raised this to match the existing floor. Now, between the kitchen floor and the extension there is a bit of damage to the...

So tomorrow I’m making a start on fitting my mother in laws shower tray and valve. On previous threads I’ve got the advice for the tray so don’t have an issue there. The question is around the shower valve, she’s chosen a recessed one...

I use Waze pretty much every day and rarely have any problems. While abroad I use Google Maps as I like to have the area map downloaded so it reduces my roaming data requests.

To add to my points above, I’m removing an old electric shower and adding a normal shower with a recessed valve.

So something like no more nails? I guess a waterproof one would be better? Do you have any advice on the bonded pipes?

Hi All, As per my previous posts I’ve been tasked with install my mother-in-laws bathroom. They’ve purchased a bungalow and it has a concrete floor, I don’t fancy chiseling out the floor and potentially damaging the damp proofing so I’m going to raise the tray up to fit the waste, I’ll use 4x2...

This worked, thanks for the help all of you!

Ok great, yes so at the moment I was using the waste nut to secure the unit but there were literally 2/3 threads to secure it. I’ll make the hole bigger tomorrow.

Ok, so the hole needs to be big enough to take the nut on the waste to the top of the basin?

Yes it has an overflow. Ok, so I need to make the whole bigger, to allow more thread, like the video?

Yes I was trying to use the nut to clamp the basin to the top, but looking at this video I need to fit it differently. Looks like the overflow is the issue. Think I need to make the hole bigger and then silicone it to the top.

To add, to this, I’ve made the hole for waste only big enough for the waste, does this need to be made bigger to allow more thread?

Hello, So my mother in law has just bought a new house and I’ve been tasked with putting the bathroom in. I’ve plumbed all the pipes in for the toilet, sink and waste, etc. I have also installed the toilet. I’ve come to install the new vanity unit...

Hi All, Just looking for some advice if possible, I'm in the process of building a TV unit with a built-in fire, etc. Luckly the socket that I need to spur off are on their own radial circuit (not sure why the old owners did this, but it's saved me time). I'm looking to add an extra 5 sockets...

Looks awesome!!! Bore me with the details, please.

Hello All, I've been a lurker of this forum for many years so thought I posted my first major project. I'm currently in the process of fitting a new bathroom suite. We've gone for the following: Bathroom Suite - https://victoriaplum.com/product/clarity-bathroom-suite-with-straight-bath Shower...

Ok, I've managed to get the tiles adhesive off and I've started to plasterboard the stud wall. Does this wall need plasterboarding too or can I tile straight onto the wall? This is what it currently looks like? The gap between the plasterboard and the wall, I'll be able to use a thicker...

Hello, As you can probably tell from previous posts this is my first bathroom fit out, I'm just in the process of planning how the shower pipes are going to be installed... I've seen a few people add a ply backboard and then poke the pipes through this, is that needed or will the tiles and a...

Ok great, thanks for the reply!!
