shower

I have just moved into a new home with a Gainsborough shower. On our first viewing i turned it on and it ran hot for around 5 minutes. Since moving on it hasn’t stayed hot for more than 10 seconds. I have no idea about these kinds of things and any advice is appreciated. :)

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.

Hello, We're in the process of getting an insulated outbuilding built at the end of our garden for ourselves and also a family member whom has sensory need to use the odd occasion. The new outbuilding will have 3 multi-use rooms which are: 1. A relaxing/sensory room 2. Wet room (Basic...

Hi all, I need to replace a Triton bar shower that runs directly off a combi boiler. It is a standard bar shower with a flexible hose and head on a riser. It has 150mm pipe centres and I don't want to mess with the pipework. I was going to swap for another Triton or something like a Mira Coda...

The lever for the flow control handle on my bar valve shower has fallen out and won't screw back in! Specifically it's not engaging with a thread when I try to screw it back in, as if the female-side thread has totally gone. The screw or hole don't show any signs of corrosion though. Please...

Hi, I am seeing issues with water through wall and floor under the bath. As an explanation, it is a large P-bath with large tiles and large grout lines, but used as a shower mostly. The tiles only go down to the bath, so under the bath it is just bare walls. I plan to try and fix this by...

Hi all, We’ve just had a new Mira Plarinum Dual Digital shower installed in the loft, feeding down to the bathroom upstairs which is great. However, it has an error saying that the incoming hot water temperature is too low. I’ve checked our Boiler (Worcester Greenstar 30i) and its set at 60...

I've got an old Aqualisa shower. I think it's a "Rise", purchased in 2014. Has a circular controller button with a single start/stop button and a white light around the outside. It has an auto stop timer on the shower but I want to shorten the time. I can remember setting it up involved a...

I’ve had a shower tray bedded down onto a sand-cement mixture, which is laid directly on marine plywood. I’ve noticed a small gap forming between the sand-cement layer and the plywood base. The tray itself feels solid and stable when I stand on it, so there doesn’t seem to be any immediate...

I recently swapped out an old Mira Event XS shower, with a new one of the same model, I had to drain the hot water cylinder because I couldn’t work out which tap turned off the feed and 2 of them were seized. After fitting the new shower, hot water works fine but there’s no cold coming out...

We've has a Mira Event XS shower for a good few years now and it stopped working this morning while my wife was taking a shower. Can they be replaced with a Triton EasyFit T80 Thermo Electric show like this one from Wickes...

I’m laying down a 1200 x 760 stone resin on a floor that isn’t level. Manufacture instructions recommend a cement mix or silicone. Silicone seems like the simpler option but can this be used to level a shower tray? Or would a sand cement mix be better for this?

Just curious about people's thoughts on this I'm currently working on a diy project of a wetroom on a first floor with only loft space abovr. I was planning to use duplex boards and a primer but wondered since it will be a small wetroom with potentially a lot of hot steam would it be worth...

I’m planning to install a shower tray, but I’ve noticed it’s bowed by about 3mm, which is within the manufacturer’s tolerance. My concern is how to securely attach a shower screen, given that the tray isn’t perfectly flat. Do you have any advice on the best approach?

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

Can anyone notice any issues with this pipework? These are hot and cold water pipes leading to a shower plate. My only concern is that after turning the water off and removing the caps, no water came out at all. Normally, I would expect at least a few drops. Any thoughts?

I’m installing a waste pipe for my shower, with the pipe running about 600mm to the center of the tray, where it will connect to the trap. I’ve read a fall of 1 cm per every 40cm is adequate. What is the best method to ensure the correct slope has been reached for proper drainage? I’m using...
