bath

I am in the middle of fitting a new bathroom. The current waste pipe for the bath is 35mm copper, which I know is below the minimum requirement of 40mm for building requirements. The house is really old and was built in the 60’s and hasn’t been touched since so the current system has worked up...

Evening all! When we fill our bath and get in, it drops by at least half a CM. The silicone has consequently been damaged, and while it needs replacing, I am concerned it is just going to keep happening and where it keeps coming away I worry water from the shower will get behind the bath...

After some repairs done (twice) to prevent leaks from the bath pipes, the bath plug no longer closes properly. It was working perfectly before the 2nd leak was fixed. There was a little extra 'play' on the turn so with very slight pressure you could make sure the plug was sealed. I informed...

I ripped out and replaced old bathroom recently, including fitting a new acrylic bath with mixer bar shower over it. After fitting the bath, I noticed that the water is pooling on the side of the bath against the tiled wall. Checked the levels of the bath and it's level all around. But you can...

Dear all, Does anyone know an alternative to silicone sealant (to run around the sides of a bath)? I have now applied on several occasions silicone sealant of varying brands and seemingly none last very long. Either black mould appears, despite being applied very smoothly and neatly, or small...

I have one of those l-shaped bath screens to fit my l-shaped bath. I've sealed the screen as per the manufacturer's instructions and have replaced the sealing strip at the bottom of each pane of glass. Unfortunately, it still leaks at the point circled in red on the below picture (where the...

Hi all, not sure if im posting this into the right section, but here it goes. im planning a new bathroom, and just wondered if anyone had any experience with in wall bath / shower shelves like in the picture below im planning on having an area like this to be used when in the bath. what...

Hey All, Happy new year! We`re building a new bathroom and we`re considering a whirlpool bath with shower. Am considering an P or L shaped. I`m concerned that a few years down the line the shower screen will leak or someone will crack the side panel and will be a right pain to find a...

Bath has two 3/4 taps, hot and cold. Was considering replacing knackered swirl taps with reviver kit. Bath is never used and capping taps off avoids possibility of young student tenants flooding over run bath onto neighbours underneath. Anyone know if there is an equivalent to a reviver kit that...

Hi, I've fitted a metal Kaldewei bath with a Bristan Quest mixer tap. The tap holes were pre-drilled and the centres are fine. I tested the electric shower above and water leaked through the base of the tap and through the holes, onto the floor. The issue is that the holes in the bath are 35mm...

hi So I bought a nearly new shower / bath tap as you can see in the pics. But I am a complete numpty and have no idea what all the black bits with threads are to the left of the box ? Can someone please enlighten me :-) and sorry if I am being really thick ! Thanks in advance Thanks Bob

Hi, So I have a problem with my bath. It takes 4+ hours to drain I have taken pipes apart underneath. No blockage. I used I long flexible pole with a 'brush' on the end. Nothing came up with it and it was moving about freely. Put it through u bend too. Reassembled. Still blocked. It takes...

In the process of working on my bathroom, I dropped the sink in the bath and the waste pipe chipped the surface of the bath. Replacing the bath is not really an option and the chip is relatively small - 10mm by 3mm at it's widest. I'm looking at repair kits as I'm worried about it leaking -...

Hi all, I have just moved house and trying to get the shower working. There are mixer taps in the bath with a shower attachment. When running water through the taps everything works as expected. When diverting the water to the shower attachment everything goes freezing cold. One exception is...

I would like to identify this old bath/shower diverter so that I can obtain the correct washer and maybe an exploded diagram before tackling the rather awkward job. To explain how it operates, the upright piece on the left is the hand shower, its hose (and connection to the diverter) pulls up to...

Good morning, I've been browsing the numerous threads surrounding the above issue but can't seem to find an answer. So I thought I'd post my specific issue for your advice. I'd be grateful for any thoughts you may have. We moved into our home in February and the shower was working perfectly...

Having just bought a new property that has, essentially, 3 bathrooms (upstairs bathroom, ensuite and downstairs bathroom) I was wondering what to do with the upstairs bathroom which is a decent size (7'10 x 12'5) though the exterior wall slopes (dormer bungalow converted upstairs) which has a...

I am currently re-tiling our bathroom and will be fitting a new bath in the next few days. What is the current 'best practice' for installing a reliable seal around the bath? The old tiles had quadrant sections where they met the bath, which had worked remarkably well for around thirty years...

Hi, I live on the first floor of a four storey block of flats. My bath plug hole regularly gurgles (approximately once a day). Water doesn't comes up into the bath though I can see it bubbling away just below and it is often accompanied by a bad smell. Is this likely to be a problem that I...
