bathroom

Hi all, I want to add an en-suite bathroom to an existing bedroom but I’m not sure how bad it is that an exposed hip rafter will be in the bathroom and how to cover or protect it? I will be installing an extractor fan too, my partner suggested a wall mounted one but I’m more inclined to have...

Evening, I'm looking to relocate a dwarf wall by moving it close to the ridge, so it'll be pushed back by about 700mm/800mm from it's existing location. I planned on doubling up the rafters from the purlins to ridge edge, but a roofer who sorted a gable edge for me told me not to bother! It's...

Hi, could someone please advise on the following. We are currently renovating our bathroom - it was previously a separate toilet with a wet room next door, however we’ve removed the partition wall to make it one bathroom. We are going to be installing a bathroom suite, including electric shower...

I have taken my bathroom back to brick and have purchased the NoMorePly 12mm fibre cement boards to install. On some walls, the bricks are laid with the stretcher face showing, allowing a maximum fixing depth of 115 mm, while on another internal wall, the frog face is showing, allowing a maximum...

Hi again, everyone, I am now looking into wiring the lights, a couple of shaver sockets and an extractor fan for my bathroom. My plan is to use the 6A light circuit for this, but there are a couple of complications. 1. The light circuit CPC is not continuous. There is definitely a CPC coming...

Hi everyone, I am planning to wire a Japanese toilet and a dual-fuel radiator in my bathroom. My plan is to tap into the bedroom radial circuit to supply 2 switched FCUs: one for the Japanese toilet and one for the dual-fuel radiator. Both FCUs are in the bathroom but outside the zones. There...

Hi all, We have stripped our bathroom walls back to brick and are lining them with NoMorePly fibre cement boards. The reason we went for cement boards was for the moisture resistance and for supporting the large-format tiles we’re planning (90 x 90 cm). The tricky part is the exterior wall...

I have a Mira Jump Shower. The other day I noticed it goes hot even when the switch is set to cold. The only way to get it to cold is to put it on Eco setting. New thermostat needed, switch or new shower?

Hi, looking for some advice. My bathroom light tripped one of the two RCDs and when I reset it I noticed the light (4 LED downlights actually) flickering when the switch is in the off position but only if extractor fan switch is on. The extractor fan usually runs whenever the lights are on...

Hi, I have gone through a ridiculous number of tile samples, plus visited a few shops, and finally found tiles that I love for my bathroom walls (only the walls, not the floor). They are glazed porcelain tiles, concrete effect (598x598x10 mm)...

We live in a 1930s house and have a walk-in shower in the bathroom with a double window. The current extractor fan is installed on the wall adjacent to the shower, and we usually keep the window open while showering. Despite this, we experience a lot of condensation, which has led to mould...

Evening! We have had an ensuite bathroom fitted today and the installers have installed the towel radiator in such a way that it has damaged and is resting against the sloping ceiling (loft conversion). I don't think this is an acceptable way to have installed the radiator but I am being told...

Hi all, Hoping someone might be able to offer some advice here or have had a similar experience. I am doing my bathroom and have this random (what looks like a pipe) sticking out the wall. Previous owner did classic landlord job and just painted over it so it's not clear what it is despite...

My bathroom has a damp wall from where the roof was leaking that (I think) I've cured. The bathroom is a lean-to extension built off the back of the house, and where the roof met the wall there was a big gap. The wall pictured would have been an exterior wall originally. I'm now attacking the...

Hi we're getting our floor tiles done in the downstairs bathroom soon and we wanted to replace the basin with a corner one, but the waste pipe is a problem. Is it possible? without having to cut a hole through the middle? Corner Unit

My parents bathroom has a nasty wet patch on some of the bathroom walls. They think it's condensation but it seems excessive to me? It's a lean-to extension, they said they've had a "new roof" on it, but they also had me go along the seam where the roof joins the structure of the house with tube...

I know this has been asked before - and I've read some of the answers which seem to come down to : * Make sure boards have been kiln dried & acclimatise for at least a couple of weeks. * Little difference between redwood and whitewood pine. * T&G red/whitewood boards -> ply -> OSB or chipboard...

Hi. I have just had a shower tray installed. Before everything else is tiled, how do I make sure the installation is such that everything will drain properly and I won't have to be squeegeeing the shower tray? Should the ball fall towards the drain; should the whole tray be sloped towards the...

Hi, I have a very old bathroom with a very old central heating system, back boiler in living room with hot water cylinder upstairs and cold tank in loft. Currently, the bathtub and toilet are tank fed, and the basin cold is mains fed. I am getting the bathroom ripped out and replaced. What...

Hi, My bathroom pull switch has stopped working - won't pull down to turn off so is permanently on. I've replaced the cord previously and rewired normal lights etc so was hoping for an easy fix(!) but when I've unscrewed it a red wire is loose and I don't know where it should go. The switch...
