2100 wall to take 1800 bath/shower. I'm putting studs using bathroom boards at each end to bring the 2100 down to 1800ish (just over), but the stud at the taps end will cover that whole wall to lose the pipework for new sink/toilet also. The face of the tiles infringing on the plan/footprint of...

Hi, I've got a Triton Zante Shower - approx 15 yrs old and still going strong with no problems until recently I noticed that I get drips from the showerhead even when the power is off. The only way to stop the dripping is to isolate the water supply which is pretty inconvenient. Is this...

A cluster of 3 led lights, it's good because the bathroom gets very little natural light. But it's zonally conflicted in plan, being sited just outside the outer edge of the bath/shower It could do with going between the the next pair of joists but this would require extending the cables...

hi I have a Creda 950DL 9.5kw shower, approximately 8 years old. About two years ago the medium element light went out and the water ran cold if I had it set to medium. For the past two years it’s only been working on one element, meaning I had to set it to high to get any hot water. Puzzlingly...

Hi there, I feel like a real novice here. I'm trying to fit a fixed shower bar, attached to a thin wall. The pipework will be on the other side of the wall. I was looking at the normal wall-plate elbow, but they are designed to be screwed into a wall chasing. With the pipes travelling through...

My question is: can SBR be used to “restore” crumbling plasterboard behind shower tiling? If not, what else would you suggest, please? Tiles have popped up in a smallish area (110 cm 40 cm) of the shower due to water getting in behind them. The standard foil-backed plasterboard has...
