Pipe cover while Toilet and shower out

[junoeclipse]

Hey guys,

I'm wanting to tile my bathroom and I'm going to take the toilet and shower out, then ask someone to fit a new one once I've tiled, but I live in a old conversion into flats, and all the flats share the same toilet waste pipe, and the shower is also linked into this, and now and again if they flush a little to much, it backs up and fills my shower, and stops my toilet flushing away, so i was wondering is there some sort of end i can screw or stick on the toilet waste pipe and the shower drain so nothing comes up and gets all over my floor until l there back in?

And when I do get a new shower, is there some kind of plug i can get to leave in when I'm not in the shower to saving having to clean it before i use it when it does happen?

Thanks
J

Get a drain testing plug for the toilet waste.

When you fit the new shower (or get it fitted) use a HepVO valve, they act as a backcheck valve as well as a trap.

Thats brilliant, thank you so much, I had googled to try find something like that, but could only find an anti siphon valve, and id not get one of those under my shower lol,

The HepVo trap is best fitted in the vertical plane. They are 'pants' when horizontal.
