I am finally going to install the stone resin shower tray in my new bathroom this weekend. It will be installed on tongue and groove boards (well screwed down). When I have asked questions on here about securing it before, the general reply was to use silicone not cement, but when I put the tray...

Not sure if this is the right place really but the shower pump I have just installed is really noisy, I have checked that it is not vibration in the pipes, but its just the noise of the pump istelf. The neighbours have not complained yet, but the pump is in the airing cupboard which is right...

Thank everyone :D !!! I am having an extractor fan put in the bathroom soon, so like some of you said, hopefully the extra ventilation will solve the problem. Thanks again for all your help! I will remember not to post such boring questions in the future lol :D

I have got a real problem with condensation on the outside (obviously :D ) of the toilet cistern in the bathroom. I do not remember ever having this problem in any of the other houses I have ever lived in. In itself not a real problem, but it drips onto the wooden floor and is starting to...

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have just taken out the electric shower I had in my bathroom and I have removed the power cable that supplied it, as there is no need for it in my new bathroom. The cable was wired into the consumer unit and had its own MCB. This MCB is now redundant, and I was wondering if it is safe to...

I am about to install a stone resin tray too, has anyone laid a shower tray on top of laminate flooring? I plan to use silicon to secure it to the laminate flooring. Does this sound ok?

Thanks for that! My problem was originally where to place the clamp for the bonding, as apparently they need to be accessible for future inspection and testing. Laminate flooring is going down in the bathroom, which i don't fancy taking up in the future to access them. The clamps for...

Could I just use a speedfit pushfit elbow joint somewhere below the floorboards on both the pipes going to and coming from the radiator, I know that they definately break any earth continuity on a pipe run!! This would have the same effect as changing some of the pipe run to plastic wouldnt it...

Thanks!

Hi, Just bought a Chrome Towel Rail/ Radiator, I realise all metal work in the bathroom needs supplementary bonding, but will attaching the earth clamps to the copper heating pipes under the floorboards be sufficient to earth the radiator or does the body of the radiator need its own clamp...

If you mean by "supply" where the pipes are coming from that supply the shower, its a mixer shower, so cold water comes from new pipe work from cold tank in attic and hot comes from new pipe work from hot water tank in airing cupboard, so I assumed this would all be supplementary bonding, yes...

Hi, I asked this question in plumbing section but was told its one for the sparks! Just finished putting in pipework for new shower, need to "earth bond" it all, have bought a load of the special pipe clamps from screwfix, and have bought 6mm earth cabling, is this diameter cable right for...

Thanks, you have been a great help! And tried the steamer on the tile adhesive and it worked a treat!!

Sorry! Ignore the last post I was completly wrong! I have just checked the existing wiring, its not 1.5mm at all, was getting it mixed up with the wiring supplied with the new shower pump. The existing wiring from the 0,03A RCD is 6mm (big grey cable). I plan to fit a junction box at the...

Excellent, thank you for that! I will definitley give it a try tonight! It Should cut down on the amount of plastering I have to do!!!!! With regard to the boxing in (think it is plyboard), could I just seal it with PVA and skim that up to the existing walls, so it stands out a little...

Thanks for that! By "down rating" do you mean I should reduce the size of cabling from 1.5mm to 1.0mm or something like that? I have taken out the old electric shower now, so the RCD is redundant at the moment! If I use it for the shower pump for my new mixer shower that I have just...

I am in the middle of redoing my bathroom, I have taken the tiles off the walls and it has left a lot of tile adhesive behind, have tried chipping it off but it is like stone. I have decided to skim the walls with finishing plaster. There is a lot of boxing in around the soil stack, I am...

Thanks!

Hi, I am running some new pipework to a new shower, the pipework needs to drop from the attic, into a stud wall, but my problem is there is a small amount of block wall above the stud wall. I want all the pipework hidden in the wall, the part in the stud wall will not be a problem, I...
