shower

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...

Have had a leak from a shower screen which a tenant had very helpfully partially-siliconed to the bath and hinge after throwing the seal away - it has rotted the bottom corner of the frame, the bottom of the stud upright and the cover piece (pictures attached), and the wood is still very wet...

With regard to picture 1 (attached), should I seal the hole in the XPS board with neutral sealant before placing the pipe sleeve over the top and then tanking it, or is the idea that the rubber sleeve will act as waterproofing anyway, once the pipe collar has been sealed against the board using...

Hey all! I generally don't use the waterfall shower in favour of the small shower head. When this is in use the waterfall head drips cold water. There doesn't look to be much to the outlet, how do I stop it leaking? My guess is maybe something is worn out in the main control/tap unit?

My shower mixer tap popped off when I was turning it (hot water end) I turned off stop cock and tried to put it back on. I can't get it back on securely, it always seems loose. I can tighten the screw at the end but that makes no difference as that only seems to hold the valve inside the chrome...

I have a twin concealed shower valve- recently it has got incredibly stiff when turning the temperature control (bottom tap) clockwise to cold but still smooth when anticlockwise to hot. I want to try remove the tap to see if I can work out what is going on. I have removed the grub screw from...

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?
