I’m in the process on renovating our bathroom and taking out the copper cylinder etc, well not me a plumber. At the back of the airing cupboard is an old 16amp immersion circuit that is no longer used. The immersion heater was removed when I installed the CH about 35 years ago. The outlet is...

Bear with me, this is a long story: This the 5th time I've had this work done, and no body seems to know the cause. I have a bath mounted shower, which comes off a bath mixer tap which come from the floor. (THERES NO PIPES IN THE WALL). This was all originally fitted with new tiles after I...

Dear all, I've been shortlisting fitting for our replacement bathroom for some weeks now and am really struggling to make decisions, got a huge spreadsheet going on! There are so many online retailers and so many brands to choose from. I want to get fittings that will last at least a decade but...

Hi - anyone know of a mirror - ideally 600 wide by 800 high with the shaver point and IR sensor (or switch) on the LEFT? The one supplied and all others I can find on line have these on the right and there isn't room between the unit and the wall to plug a razor in of for the sensor to work...

I have a shaver only socket in my bathroom but have been charging a toothbrush from it for many years without any problems. Now I would like to be able to charge two toothbrushes simultaneously or 1 brush and one shaver. I can't find any such thing as a 2-pin splitter or even extention lead...

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...

Hi all, When I install the WC against the wall, the waste pipe from the washbasin will be in the way. I'm trying to reduce the amount of unnecessary / visible pipework anyway. My question is: If I feed the washbasin waste pipe straight down and join onto the bath waste pipe, am I likely to get...

Not impressed with the communication and instructions on my new Ikea Storjorm Bathroom mirror cabinet. The cabinet has lights built in behind the glass doors. I fitted the cabinet to the wall and wired up the lights straight from the mains wire that was already there from the last cabinet. The...
