Hello everyone
We have a bathroom on the top floor of our house (4th, inc basement), and more often than not there is a lingering smell, often quite sulphury, that seems to eminate from the room in general, rather than anywhere in particular, and there are no obvious leaks or blockages.
We only use this bathroom to bathe our daughter in the evening, and to occassionaly go to the loo.
When we flush the loo, it helps get rid of the smell, but it soon enough comes back.
We have another bathroom downstairs which we use on a more regular basis, and this is fine - no smell. Although the kitchen sink also sometimes smells a bit, but not sure if this is related.
Finally, it may also be useful to mention that when ever the taps/shower are switched off there is quite a loud bang from the pipes, which is most audible when downstairs. Again, not sure if this is related.
We are planning to have the bathrooms completely re-done next year, but we have our family coming to stay for Christmas, so if there is a quick (DIY-novice friendly!) way of tackling this problem now, then that would be great!
Many thanks for your help.
