I am planning on making some changes to our bathroom over the easter weekend and any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly in the ensuite I am replacing the toilet and basin for a wall hung toilet, basin and shower
In the main bathroom I am replacing the bath & basin & shower over bath (that has no pressure) for a bath, basin, toilet and separate shower
Whilst I have done basic plumbing before, moved a radiator, put in an outside tap, I have never done anything on this scale
I believe I want thermostatic power showers (simply because you cant beat a good shower), I have a "normal" boiler (not combi), do I need the shower feeds to come from the tank or cylinder, because they are back to back would 15mm feeds from a bath to both showers be sufficient or would I need separate feeds. What about the electric supply, is a normal plug feed OK or do I need a separate breaker
Which order would you tackle this in or does it depend on the bathroom layout etc
What about the shutting down and removal of the old system, I was thinking about turning the water off capping off the pipes then switching back on so that the family can still use the downstairs bathroom.
How long would you suggest a competent DIYer should take?
Thanks for any help and advice given
