bathroom

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...

I’m putting a new en suite bathroom in. Behind the old plasterboard the developers have left a loose cable which is giving a very low reading when I test it, I’m assuming it’s a spur from the lighting ring. The en suite is adjacent to another en suite I plan to refit in future. I want use...

Hi all, I'm planning on boxing in the soil pipe that runs from behind the toilet underneath the floating cabinet, then I'll tile it with the blue wall tiles. It's easy enough to build a simple rectangular box the whole way, but when it gets to the toilet, the edge isn't straight. As far as I...

I have been exploring a better way to keep my bathroom drain clean. In the past I have used enzyme sticks and they do clean the trap. But I’m not sure they clean the drain further along. I am going to try a liquid enzyme cleaner for maintenance. About 30-60ml is poured into the trap and I’m...

Hi, I've got an old, pretty small (1.8m x 1.5m) bathroom I'm looking to get redone. It's the only one in the (3 bed) house. I would quite like to get rid of the bathtub and put in a new shower enclosure, toilet and sink - and probably go for fully tiled this time instead of half-tiled. However...

Hi All, I had a bathroom refurb done on our first floor bathroom last year. It has vinyl planks fitted on MDF, over timber trusses with the garage below. I noticed the attached image with residue appearing between a gap. To the left is the WC, to the right the shower and the top boxing is the...

I’m trying to replace my bathroom light pull cord, as it keeps failing (just won’t click on and off, I’ve taken it down and cleaned and reset it multiple times, however tends to break again within a few days so it seems it must be down to poor build quality/ heavy handed use). I’ve been into...

Should my shower shroud cover these exposed threads? I can’t tighten the nuts anymore and the shroud can’t be moved closer as the threads/nut will start to show on the other side. I can’t move the threads into the wall as there’s not enough space around the copper pipes.
