The normal size to aim for is around 25 gallon, though if you have a good mains water pressure you can get away with a smaller tank as it will refill quickly. However this changes if you are thinking of installing a pumped, or power shower, in this situation you need 40 or 50 gallons. Here's a...

Be very careful tiling onto old tiles, although its a nice flat surface to tile onto, if the existing tiles are not 100% sound then the additional weight will bring the whole lot down. Best to get back to the original surface, a large flat scraper tapped behind the tile is usually enough to pop...

Water hammer is usually cauased by high water pressure and loose pipework, it can be a problem on something like a dishwasher/washing machine because they use a solonoid valve to turn the water on and off. Because it does this quickly, the velocity of the water literally hammers into the closed...

Megaflo's operate at 3 bar water pressure, but when you have more than one bathroom, especially at different levels, then its best to have additional pressure to call on if required.

You need some brick acid (sealoclean or similar) and a scrubing brush. Follow this link for more info: www.sealocrete.co.uk/surface.html
