bathroom

I've been trying to get around to replacing the old bathroom in-line ducted extractor fan in the loft with a new run-on version as the one up there currently is next to useless. As there is a pull cord switch next to the shower, I assumed (I know, never assume, it makes an ASS out of U and ME)...

Hello again, On changing the bathroom suite, I have found the bath drains in to this hole, with the sink draining into a similar hole beside it that leads to the same drain. The bath waste pipe came out with ease, which leads me to worry that the bathroom floor could flood in the event the...

Hi, please see attached, all things are to scale. I'm in my first property and now renovating bathroom. I had the boiler which was in cupboard moved (as shown) so now I can use this space. I'm wanting a shower bath/bath, to replace shower. I have never done any redesigns, so I'd appreciate...

I have very deep window sills in the bathroom, (450mm deep) and I want to put LVT golden oak on them. The walls and reveals are painted, and there is no bullnose or overhang at all. So it's just the depth of the lvt on the front flush edge that will need disguising. Unless I cut a 25mm strip and...

Sorry, newbie here. If this should have been posted in the Electrics or Flooring section please feel free to move. The previous owners installed electric underfloor heating in our ground floor bathroom, we cannot live without it as our only other heating in our home is the log burner but the...

Hi. Looking to strip out the bathroom and replace. Due to the small size I would like to move the sink into where the cupboard is now keeping the top shelf as a cupboard with a door (with showers switched spur in) but remove the lower 2/3 of door for sink. I’ve tried contacting a few local...

Hi, I'm redoing my ensuite and through an accumulation of a victorian plumbing shower tray being 890 instead of 900 advertised and my tiles being 6mm instead of 10.2mm like advertised the tiles slot down both sides of the tray. What can I do to get over this as I belive the tiles need to drop...

Hello everyone. Almost a year ago I had a leak fixed in the bathroom, but now there seems to be another problem... Part of the fix I had done last year was having a new shower screen and bath panel installed. Just been reading the instructions and realised it wasn't sealed correctly on the...

Hi All Is it fine to run two rectangular 204x60 channel ductings (one on top of the other) through a single external hole as shown in the enclosed drawing? Drilling a second hole is not possible. The two flat channels each 204x60 would go through single rectangular hole 204x120 and would be...

We had a bathroom leak a week ago. An emergency plumber came out. He found that one of the plastic tap joints had been over-tightened. The copper ring caused a crack in the plastic joint. It had been like that for 10-11 years (since we bought the house). Thankfully we caught it while it was...

We had dimmable downlighters installed in our bathroom a few years ago. One of the lights stopped working, so I undid it in order to see what LED I need to replace it with. However it's very confusing (see picture). I do not know what this bulb or unit is? Can anyone help? Is this a job for an...

Hello, moved to a new house last year and the floor tiles in the bathroom are loose, is there anything that can be done to fix them? At some point we'll redo the bathroom so it can be a temp fix. Some additional info in case it's relevant: the bathroom has electric underfloor heating, there...

Hi All, I have installed my linear drain, levelled and position it in place with concrete and followed this with levelling compound a couple of weeks after to smooth and level the floor. I am now ready to create my mortar bed slope (Shower pan) from the curb step to the drain however I want...

Hello, I had an issue with my bathroom below the sink and an engineer removed a tile long time ago. It's empty behind this tile, it's not a wall, just the sink and the pipes. As you can see on the photo, he didn't fix around the tile when he put it back, we can still clearly see the cuts he...

Hello Sorry if this seems really simple but I just wanted to get some advice: I tried painting our bathroom (accidentally with normal wall & ceiling paint) last year. Every time I took the masking tape off, the paint came off with it (despite using different tapes, hairdryers etc). Firstly, is...

Howdy! Our 6x6foot bathroom is currently tiled up bottom to top all the walls. These tiles are probably 40+ years old and easy to remove. The wall behind is quite smooth with the old plaster in place - not much damage apart from few places with "deeper holes". I'm going to retile around the...

Evening, I am stripping and recreating my bathroom as my disabled daughter needs a walk-in-shower with supports, rather than just the over-the-bath shower we have at the moment. The bathroom is VERY small, so space is everything. I have stripped back all the tiles, plaster and render back to...

Hi All, long time reader, first time poster. The question I have is, do I need this work passing off / getting somebody to do it? regarding an ensuite refurb... I WILL NOT be altering the lighting circuit, but I WILL be replacing all of the downlights (IP65 fire rated). I will be removing the...

Hi, Looking to modify my elderly/disabled parents shower ATM they have a rectangular (approx 1000 x 680mm wide) low level tray and a fixed glass panel The shower seat will only fit into the tray facing the fixed screen , which doesn't leave enough room for them to get in and out of the chair...

Hi, I have an issue with the hot water supply to our new bathroom which has stumped a couple of plumbers and a builder, short of spending a lot of money for something that might cause more problems. I'll try to explain it clearly and would be grateful for any ideas: We live in a 200 yr old...
