As previous posters have said wrap it in loads and loads of denso tape. its a pig to cut through with a hacksaw.Plus they will get less for it at the scrappies.Make or get a timber or metal cover and secure it to the wall. These scum only look for a quick steal. Don't know about the...

For a start I would remove ALL the sealant from the inside and outside .Then ONLY reseal from the outside using a quality sealant.

Correct But he only asked if it was possible to do. :wink:

[/url] He never said he's not! Could only be asking if its acheviable before he contacts the relevant bodies,

Most work on a bonus for installing you never see many over 40yrs old as you got to work like the clappers to make a decent wedge. so the stuff that the inspector canny see is thrown in. BTW there are some good site plumbers and like any other trade or field you get good ,average and those...

You sure its from the top. Taps with tails are usally cast as one ,if the top of the bath is dry it must be from the joints . Have you replaced the red fibre washers and nipped them up tight ? Sometimes the tails on the taps are a wee bit shorter than the origionals and tail couplings are...

Aye red lead putty and a good dollop o gloss paint works every time!

Get Rid of it and use a bucket less hastle,Why o why do people fit these should be outlawed . Either vent to outside or the carbon filter has been omitted / or not performing. You sure the lids fitted correctly as well with the seal.

Silicon inside and more than likely you will get a leak. You will prevent the water from draining freely to tray by sealing inside due to design water will make its way to outside. If you doubt our wisdom feel free to seal inside.

Run the pipes in plastic , then again you have the potential with leaks if using compression fittings. Do as others have said, Denso is fine . If tiles are sealed / grouted there will be no problem with leaks .It only takes a min to rattle in some foam and once trimmed gives a nice level tiling...

If your shower screen has been siliconed from the inside thats more than likely your problem . If so remove all the sealant from the inside of the screen ans seal ONLY on the outside , See if this does the trick.

Not disputing the solvent bit but the two might not be solvent weld compatable, Sometimes they have to be drilled the right size as there can be a raised lip on the boss that should sit inside . After fitting I always put on a THIN smear of silicon just to make sure dosnt do any harm just in case!

Hot 2 left cold 2 right , Mind fit wall Ts behind so you can get a secure fix .

Probably be caulked with Lead as well so mind the mask. In really older properties am sure the old timers used to put horse hair type stuff or even asbestos to stop the lead from running through when pouring , Can remember "just " Using an asbestos rope at the top when pouring Lead , O happy...

Usually a plastic spray bar clips on to top , more than likely its popped off . Have a look inside tank if so pop back on if not cant suggest anything other than replace old for new .

"Cowboy" your words not mine .

Your tank is too small , power showers rattle through the stored hot water in no time if turned on full power. 2 decent showers is probably about right from a standard sized tank/cylinder

Corgi registered doesnt mean he is able to do bread and butter plumbing tasks ,

Have a look to see if there is not anything popped off the top off the valve ,some times the wee arm at the top comes off that directs the water down into the cistern more than likely this is whats happened and just needs popped back on , Failing this your valve has split and needs renewed .I...

Check the water level in your cistern to see if its lapping round overflow pipe, if so may just needing a wee adjustment if not, in this throw away society you may require to renew the inlet ball type valve, Dry the cistern and check with kitchen roll to see if there is any weepage else...
