bathroom

I am a time-deprived DIY person near Gloucester. I want to refurbish a (very small) en-suite. I am prepared to do work myself - but, particularly with plumbing, and tiling, I suspect a professional would do a better job (and do it *much* quicker). My problems are: While I've visited retail...

Getting my bathroom redone has turned out to be a cursed project. Every few days something else goes wrong. The new pipes that lead to the bath taps started leaking overnight, dripping through the ceiling below. Fortunately ? the floorboards are still partly up so I could see where the leak is...

Hi, Will be taking up my floorboards in an upstairs bathroom and fitting caberflooring of which needs to be screeded to be made level as it's about 11mm out. I've bought Mapei Ultraplan 3240 Self-Levelling Compound 25kg...

Hey all! I'm new to plastering. I'm renovating some large property by myself and learning a lot of plumbing, some minor electricity, woodworking, metalworking, glasswork ext. It's going great as I'm putting 24h a day researching how to and working :) I'm getting really better at plastering...

Hi all, I’d like to get a vanity cupboard installed under my current sink - if not possible would like to get a new sink with a vanity unit attached… Is this possible with the current set up whereby there’s boxing in work covering the pipe work from I believe the bath and also the sink itself...

I have nearly finished my downstairs guest toilet/bathroom and would like to give it a nice touch with ceiling coving. I know it’s not an issue reading previous articles on here but I am unsure which one is the most recommended due to humidity? I don’t want to have too much mess if I can avoid...

Hello. Was wondering if anyone can help. Just had bathroom done and the fitter installed an inline Osily extractor which, quite frankly, is useless! So I've replaced it with a Manrose MF100T which is far better. However, the Osily has a N, L and LT connection. The Manrose has a N, L and LS...

Hi all, I have the sink as attached. I want to change the 2 single taps to a mixer tap. Is this possible for bathroom sinks? Without changing the sink itself. Thanks

New member here ! I'm sorry if this is a really silly thing to ask but painting over a horrible paint job in a new property we purchased in Greece. I've been given an emultion which I had to add 10 percent water too, here's a photo.. Is this all going to wash off the second i use the shower...

Hi, I have a small space (1200x2800) for a bathroom. the back of the room (on the external wall) will be taken up with a shower and shower screen (The ones with the left side static and the right side slides open). I need to get the waste pipe from the toilet through the external wall to connect...

Hi, I had a new bath/shower installed and recently noticed that I can no longer open the bath/shower screen outward (I often just step around it anyway).. I noticed that the glass screen appears to have dropped lower so it is blocked from opening by the metal frame attached to the bath. On...

Hi, I recently had my bathroom renovated and in the past month or two I've noticed the wall appears to be blistering quite badly. Initially it was minor but it has gotten worse in recent weeks. The blistering is happening in just one place... by the side of the bath with overhead shower (with...

Hi all, I am looking to buy a brand new Traditional Bathroom radiator (Seen in my attached image) but the amount available online is mind blowing so was hoping someone could give me good advice what is a good brand and what should I avoid. Here the criteria: 1. Measurement around 600mmx900mm...

Hello again, everyone. It's been a while, but I have my next project that I would appreciate some input, please. Background: - First floor flat, with access to loft space. - Internal shower room with no window, no external walls. - Existing Manrose extractor fan is located in the ceiling above...

Hi folks, I’m facing an issue and I’d appreciate your help. I have a conventional (gravity fed) central heating system with a water tank in the loft, a hot water cylinder and a diverter valve in an airing cupboard. My issue concerns my bathroom radiator and when it gets hot. It’s like this...

Hiya, after some guidance, please :-) Would it be ok with building regs to put an Alexa in zone 3 of the bathroom if she's in a hole, high up on the wall, behind a grill that is screwed on to the wall and can't be taken off the wall without a screwdriver? The plan is to have the alexa wire...

Please help, I’m borderline going crazy with this. We had a leak from the pipe that connects the en-suite bathroom pipe to the ceiling extractor fan. No tradesperson seems to want to touch the job and I don’t know which trade is even the night one. Iv had plumbers, electricians and even just a...

As winter months have hit, our extractor fan has begun splurting out brown liquid. We have put this down to condensation. Unfortunately the duct runs up through the loft, and our loft space is fully insulated with no walking space, so we're not really able to insulate it. Also, it goes up...

Me again! Can anyone enlighten me as to why the existing cold water feed was not used for the sink and electric shower but instead this copper-in-to-plastic-pipe setup instead? Sorry, I’ve cut most of the plastic pipe off in this photo, but the copper pipe with the plastic elbows runs all the...

I moved the bathroom door frame which meant I need to build out part of the bathroom wall to be level to the frame. I’m thinking of renovating the bathroom soon - is it worth going ahead and overboarding the existing plasterboard with additional standard 9mm board to bring it flush to the frame...
