    how to box in wall hung frame?

    The water supply can be fitted to enter from the rear and accessed via the flush panel. I've just fitted one of these frames and screwed some spare 25mm exterior ply directly to the frame to box it in. My joiner used screws that have a cutting point as well as being self tapping. I recall...

    Laying ceramic mosaic tiles on floor

    Thank you AdamCH I used the grout float as you suggested but I think I put down too much adhesive and tried to do too much at once. The mix was probably too wet and the spaces between the mosaics were full. A mess! One of the probs I noticed was that the drain grill is adjusted to the...

    Laying ceramic mosaic tiles on floor

    Hello, I'd appreciate some advice. I had a tiler lined up to tile my wet room floor and sadly he's let me down at the last minute. I can't find anyone else at the moment and thought I might try doing it myself. I have tiled before but only large format tiles on a floor, although I've done...

    Cord or Cordless (Makita)

    I bought one of these a couple of years ago - with the two batteries - and I'm delighted with it. Still going strong. It replaced my corded Bosch drill and most screwdrivers. http://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dc100ka-gb-18v-1-3ah-ni-cd-cordless-combi-drill/73596 The batteries seem to be...

    Best tile pattern and grout width

    The walls aren't too bad. I checked them out last night more carefully. A couple of areas near the corners. I'll try a couple of rows and see how I get on. Thanks for your reply.

    Creating a walk in shower ensuite bathroom from scratch

    Something like this: http://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/Premier_Wetroom_Screen_1000mm.html I'll be putting a bead of silicon sealant along the bottom of the screen to seal it to the tiles but if the room's properly tanked it won't matter anyway.

    Best tile pattern and grout width

    I'd appreciate some advice please. Tiling wet room walls with 300x100 white ceramic tiles. Walls are plaster skimmed and tanked and aren't 100% plumb or straight. I fancied using brick pattern but have read the walls need to be pretty straight. Also wondering what the best grout width would be...

    Creating a walk in shower ensuite bathroom from scratch

    I just finished installing an Impey wet room former and all the associated tanking today. I used the Impey one for a couple of reasons - it looked the easiest to install for my limited experience and I got a great price from an eBay seller. Here's the link to the installation video...

    Grohe geoterm 1000 which side inlet is cold?

    Thank you :D After scouring the paperwork by candle light I discovered a section on how to operate the shower with "reversed pipework" and then I could work out the opposite. Not very clear though!

    Grohe geoterm 1000 which side inlet is cold?

    I'm in the middle of fitting this bar shower and it doesn't have any markings for hot and cold. There are a couple of dust caps in the box, one red, one blue, suggesting there's a hot and cold side but nothing on the bar itself and nowt on the instructions. I thought these things had a hot...

    Shower bar valve fitting kit - trim?

    Thanks for the replies. I think I'll dig it out, loosen one side, and pack it out. The "staggering error of judgement" was a combination of estimations which could have gone the right way, but being that I'm not a professional, doing this on a budget, and blah blah blah blah blah...

    Shower bar valve fitting kit - trim?

    Would it be possible to trim the outlet pipes in such a way that you could still get a good seal? When I installed my shower bar valve fitting kit I had to bolt it onto the brickwork using threaded rods because any other way I tried didn't work. Drilling plugs into the brickwork caused them...

    Hello, I'm considering fitting an Impey wet room http://www.impeyshowers.com/luxury-wet-rooms/wetroom-floor-formers/aqua-dec-easyfit.aspx The walls in my very small bathroom need either plastering or plaster boarding before this is installed. What's the best thing to do? Cheers!

    Underfloor sound deadening?

    Haha! Doesn't appear like the usual ****e we get around here. Maybe it's an import :lol: Lots of ash in it, I think. I'll see if I can grow something in it to recoup the cost of my renovation project :P So what's the best stuff to use as sound insulation?
