shower

Hi All I’m wondering what size end caps I need to isolate the H and C that goes to a bar shower when removed. I’m my mind I’m thinking it might be 3/4” BSP? Or is it bigger? Plus will I not need some firm of rubber/nylon washer to put in place as well?? Thanks

Hi I've got a concealed shower mixer, which has got stiffer to turn on over time. Basically to turn the shower on, you turn a handle to rotate the it by half a turn, so about 180 degrees, on the attached photo, this is the white lever pointing down. Over the last couple of years, this has got...

I have a shower with a 15mm chrome riser pipe up to a waterfall type head. I want to cut into the riser and add a diverter valve that will feed a regular shower head, because I don't want to replace the whole riser. Problem is that I can't find a diverter valve with 15mm fittings. Does such a...

Hi All I am looking to install a 3 sided shower enclosure using Multipanel and need some advice on what to fix to. The shower was previously tiled on 12mm marine ply on timber studwork. The tile adhesive is stuck to the ply along with the old tanking membrane. The surface is ripped from...

Hi, i have a 1400 wide bathroom and a 1400 x 900 tray. I have had to disassemble and replace plasterboard etc due to a leak, but the recess between 2 walls is now less than 1400! Is it possible/proper to scrape back the plasterboard to widen the recess? Any help appreciated!

I have an old Worcester Bosch Greenstart HE plus combi boiler. 3 months ago the shower, which has been working perfectly for last 5 years, would start off at correct temperature and then after about 2 minutes would run cold. Just as it was running cold I heard the boiler fire up and after...

We have inherited a neglected shower in the en-suite with a house we bought recently. Is it possible to replace the manky peeling chrome waste on this Mira shower tray without remove the shower tray? I don't want to try and force it for fear of it coming to pieces and making work for myself...

I have a set of bath taps with a shower diverter. The diverter operates with a lever that turns about an eighth of a turn to swap from shower to taps - see first picture. The whole bathroom including these taps were inherited from the previous owner Unfortunately the diverter leaks - when set...

Could anyone help identify this shower? Is it power shower? Any recommendations for an easy replacement? Thanks!

We have a gravity-fed system (well, there's no gravity about it, our water tank is in the airing cupboard). As a result, we get a mere dribble from our shower head. We want to install a shower with thermostatic mixer, with an overhead showerhead and a small hose showerhead so aware we need to...

Hi all - i have a mira sprint electric shower. A week or two ago it stopped working, had power, but no water. After some research i found that a faulty solenoid coil could be a sensible place to start. I ordered the part from Mira, and fitted it and was very happy as water flowed again...

Hi, I currently have a combi boiler which drops flow rate when a second tap is turned on. I'm also looking to add a second shower. The flow rate i have is 12 ltr per min and i cannot install a blue pipe because a i have a shared mains with the neighbour. I have a couple questions: If i place...

My shower (Triton Combi HP) is about 20 years old. Suddenly it has developed a fault - not enough hot water is coming through (hot water is fine in the rest of my flat). I can get the temp up using the rotary thingy, but if I go beyond the safety stop it gets colder again! Given its age, is it...

I have a power shower (Triton Opal) on which I have changed the shower head and hose previously. I can't remember the source or details about the replacement hose I used, but looking at it now I can see that it has an inbuilt blue plastic diaphragm type thing about an inch in from one end, which...

I have a gravity fed system which consists of a cold water storage tank in the loft and a hot water tank on the ground floor in an airing cupboard. The hot water pressure on the ground floor in the kitchen and toilet is decent, which is expected as the water has a longer drop from the loft. On...

We are currently planning and designing a new en-suite in our master bedroom. This is an entirely new room as there is no ensuite already. The ceiling along the back, longest wall is sloped with the lowest point being around 5ft. Is there any regulations regarding minimum height/headspace...

Hi there. hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction? How do I boost the water pressure of our house? We have our own private water supply from a spring and reservoir in our field. Although the water flows well, It isn’t quite enough pressure to supply an electric shower if you...

I am looking to replace a Power Shower at home. It's straight replacement with Power and cold water. The Power is a switch on the consumer unit. My issue is that I can't find an isolator for the cold water feed. The pipe comes out through a tile. The house is new and there are no exposed pipes...

Morning all, we’ve recently purchased a house in need of renovation, we’ve been looking at ideas for the shower room and came across this picture in a catalog, is it a good/bad idea to fully enclose a shower as seen in the picture (boxed in above the glass), if a good extractor fan is fitted...
