I don't know what is under the bath, haven't taken the side off yet because it will mess up the sealant. But, if there is an isolator valve on the cold supply to the tap could I just throttle that? Or don't they work the same way as a lever?

Turned off the mains stopcock and nothing is coming out of the cold side. So yes bath mixer shower cold has been plumbed directly from the mains.

This might be a stupid question but how do I work out if it's supplied directly from mains or from the cold tank?

We have another shower so this one almost never gets used. I think the last time it got used was over a year ago, and can't remember if it had the problem then or not. It's not a new install no. It was here when we got the house and I'd guess it has been in over ten years. Could it have been...

Hi I have a simple mixer tap on the bath very similar to this https://www.screwfix.com/p/bristan-cadet-deck-mounted-bath-shower-mixer-tap/965gf If I run mixed hot and cold through the bath outlet, no problems I can adjust the temperature to warm. If I pull up the valve and run the shower - hot...

Thanks, I ordered some washers with the same dimensions as that (45mm OD, 35mm ID, 3mm thick) and they seem to be working so far

Have to measure the fitting diameter. Measuring precisely quite tricky with the captive nut in the way, but also measured the mating part on the basket strainer and I think 45mm

Thanks for the responses. Terryplumb I took the part to plumbers merchant today, he didn't have a flat washer that would fit and after trying a couple of things he said he thought it was a unique design. He gave me a couple of o-rings to try that do seem to be the right OD but obviously not...

Hi, I am struggling to figure out what part I need and can't seem to find it by searching. I replaced the basket strainer as it was old, damaged and leaking. However on connecting the waste pipe back up to the new strainer it is leaking at this 90 degree connection between pipe and strainer...

Seems to be working fine. Haven't heard any more overheating noises from it so far. I'm glad it's safe now. Shocking that a thermostat without a cutout was fitted only a couple of years ago, despite the new rules. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the help, trying it out tonight.

This is how the old one was wired in This I how I have wired the new one, it won't fit in facing the right way up Will it matter that the new one is the opposite way around? Thanks

I went to buy a thermostat this afternoon. Couldn't get a branded one from Plumb Centre so I went next door to screwfix and bought this unbranded one http://m.screwfix.com/p/dual-safety-thermostat-7/21275 Will that be OK for what I need? When wiring it up, does it matter which is the input...

OK, thanks. The immersion says on a sticker that it's 11". What size of thermostat would I need for it? Thanks.

Hi, I live in an old house that has no gas. Water is heated by two immersion heaters in the hot water cylinder. There is one immersion for boost during the day and the second immersion is connected to a supply that is only live during Economy 7 hours (12.30am-7.30am here). The cylinder is in an...
