bathroom

Hi I'm looking at buying a property that has Water Underfloor heating throughout - no radiatiors at all. The problem is there are no towel radiatiors in any of the bathrooms. The bathrooms are in really good condition and partly tiled and I don't really want to start smashing up the tiles etc...

I’ve dry-fitted my shower tray waste. Can anyone spot any potential issues? (Please ignore the sawdust, I’ll clean everything before the final fit.)

I’m installing a shower tray and noticed a brush icon in the instructions labeled “PVC.” Do you know what this indicates?

I’m in the process of connecting a shower tray waste and have encountered an issue. The tray is being installed on plywood, with layers of chipboard and OSB beneath it, which has raised the trap significantly. As a result, it’s not aligning with the existing waste pipes. Would it be better to...

After researching the debate between using a mortar mix or tile adhesive for laying a shower tray, I’ve decided to go with tile adhesive. Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts on this? I was considering using the following product...

I’ve recently purchased a shower tray, and I noticed that the middle is slightly raised when I check it with a spirit level. Are the edges of a shower tray supposed to be completely flat, or is this normal? Should I be concerned about this affecting installation or water drainage?

Is this too large a gap at the top of tile backer board? The board is secured in place so can’t easily replace it so thinking I could fill it with silicone or put in a thin piece.

Is there a difference between WBP plywood and hardwood plywood? I’m trying to determine if hardwood plywood would be sufficient for a shower base.

1. Do I need to seal the inside of a bath shower screen where the chrome plated plastic mount meets the wall on the inside i.e. vertically down the side here? 2. And should I do it on the opposite side too i.e. the outside of where the mount meets the tiles? Note: It feels like there is a kind...

Evening, I've got myself in a not-so-ideal scenario. Bathroom is 1.8m wide, I've a shower tray which measures 1.8m so it's going to go wall to wall. I have studded the wall using small 200mm batons (I could have used dot and dab but that's where I'm at). I'll be using tile backer board and...

I was planning to attach wood where necessary for additional support, but this section has a lot of pipes, making it impossible to add any wood to drill into. The studs are spaced 600mm apart, and the backer board I’m using is 1200 x 600 x 20mm. Do you have any suggestions on how to securely...

My bathroom floor consists of 2 layers, OSB board and T&G chipboard. I’m laying a 1200 x 760 shower tray down on plywood but was wondering which thickness plywood I should be using? I was thinking 18mm but may need to go thinner as I need my floor tiles to cover the plywood. Not sure if there...

Is there any need to tank a shower area when using tile backer boards? I.e. priming, using waterproof tape and membrane?

I’m planning on laying tile backer board on chipboard flooring prior to tiling. Which adhesive is required to lay the backer on to? Would something like this work...

What is the best method for tiling a bathroom chipboard floor using tile backer board? I’m considering using 6mm backer board, but I’m unsure whether screws alone are sufficient for securing it, or if adhesive is also necessary. Any advice?

How can I position my shower tray waste in the center, where the hot and cold pipes are currently located? Would it be possible to place the waste pipe and trap above the hot/cold pipes, or would it be better to re-route the pipes instead?

I'm installing a shower tray and need to decide on the best location for the shower waste. I have two options: placing it in the top left, where there's a joist, or in the middle, where the hot and cold pipes are located. I haven't purchased the tray yet, so I can choose any waste location...

Hi! The hinge of our shower screen broke when we moved it to clean it. I am not sure of the make as this was fitted before our landlord bought the place, but he told us it is pretty generic. I am really struggling to find a replacement in bathroom or DIY shops. I have now emailed a few...

My pipe cutter seems to be cutting pipes a little bent. Is this acceptable to use?

Where do you typically position mixer showers? I'm installing a 760mm shower tray against an 800mm wall and want to place the mixer bar exactly in the middle between the shower screen and the opposite wall. Given that I’m at the first fix plumbing stage before plastering and tiling, what’s the...
