bath

A cluster of 3 led lights, it's good because the bathroom gets very little natural light. But it's zonally conflicted in plan, being sited just outside the outer edge of the bath/shower It could do with going between the the next pair of joists but this would require extending the cables...

Hello, I don’t really know anything about plumbing so not sure if anything I’m describing makes sense. I’ve just got a new freestanding bath delivered and it’s currently in the bathroom sitting on top of 2 planks of wood waiting to have the waste connected. I’ve got a 40mm compression elbow...

Hi there. I'm installing a new bath at my Grandads house. The waste pipe is at the opposite end to the taps and therefore the pipe needs to travel the length of the bath. My problem is that the waste trap I bought creates the pipe angle that naturally hits the legs of the bath... and I've...

The previous owners of the house I am buying removed the bath from the bathroom, and made a wet room with underfloor heating and large floor tiles. When we move in, I'd like to add a freestanding bath. I'm able to do the plumbing etc. My concern is weight. The floor tiles and underfloor...

Hello people. Ive just had a new bath and tap fitted by a plumber. After he left i realised the hot water flow on the hot it half it was on my old basic taps. I have a copper water tank. Am i right in assuming this is the new crappy mixer tap that was fitted causing this problem people.

Hello, Can someone advise how to remove spilt eggshell paint on an acrylic bath? We had had our bathroom renovated and bought a very expensive freestanding bath. After a few months since our bathroom was renovated, I used the bath for the first time and realised there are very slight spots of...

Right the push down and pop up bath plug seems to be about knackered it's getting more annoying trying to get the thing to spring back up to empty the bath. If seems a bit stiff :cautious: at times. What does adjusting the little screw do? Should the the top screw off so I can get a...

Hi, We have a problem with our bath mixer tap. When you run the hot tap it does get hot for a bit but then goes lukewarm.. eventually hot again but due to the constant cycling between hot and lukewarm you can't run a hot bath. The central heating is off, the combi boiler is a Vaillant 835/2 E...

A new plastic bath panel is being fitted against a plasterboard wall, the gap at both ends requires sealed, is painters caulk the preferred seal? This is the old panel I've shown here and work to be done after the new panel has been fitted.

Had a new side bath panel fitted, the room has lino laid, the builder customer care guy who fitted the new long side and short end side looks to have used the same white sealant on the wall end as he has along the bottom of the bath panel, should he not have used painters caulk for the end...

Hi i've got a roll top bath like the one here: https://soak.com/en-gb/hotel-collection/similar-to-the-eclectic/1700mm-cambridge-traditional-roll-top-bath---white-ball-feet/2001109.html If you look closely at the picture, the feet are stood on small circular pads. The bath is stood on a tiled...

Hi all. We recently moved into this house and noticed a strange raised patch in the bathroom floor. The tiles seem well sealed and stable and there is no obvious leak. We rarely use the bath. I am wondering if this is harmess, like a poorly evened floor, or something more sinister. The previous...

Hi! I live in rented accommodation and have an issue with my bath not draining quickly enough. I’ve taken off the trap and checked for blockages and there isn’t anything there. Also pushed a drain cleaner down the waste pipe and nothing obvious in the way. I did notice that the although the...

I am in the middle of fitting a new bathroom. The current waste pipe for the bath is 35mm copper, which I know is below the minimum requirement of 40mm for building requirements. The house is really old and was built in the 60’s and hasn’t been touched since so the current system has worked up...

Evening all! When we fill our bath and get in, it drops by at least half a CM. The silicone has consequently been damaged, and while it needs replacing, I am concerned it is just going to keep happening and where it keeps coming away I worry water from the shower will get behind the bath...

After some repairs done (twice) to prevent leaks from the bath pipes, the bath plug no longer closes properly. It was working perfectly before the 2nd leak was fixed. There was a little extra 'play' on the turn so with very slight pressure you could make sure the plug was sealed. I informed...

I ripped out and replaced old bathroom recently, including fitting a new acrylic bath with mixer bar shower over it. After fitting the bath, I noticed that the water is pooling on the side of the bath against the tiled wall. Checked the levels of the bath and it's level all around. But you can...

Dear all, Does anyone know an alternative to silicone sealant (to run around the sides of a bath)? I have now applied on several occasions silicone sealant of varying brands and seemingly none last very long. Either black mould appears, despite being applied very smoothly and neatly, or small...

I have one of those l-shaped bath screens to fit my l-shaped bath. I've sealed the screen as per the manufacturer's instructions and have replaced the sealing strip at the bottom of each pane of glass. Unfortunately, it still leaks at the point circled in red on the below picture (where the...

Hi all, not sure if im posting this into the right section, but here it goes. im planning a new bathroom, and just wondered if anyone had any experience with in wall bath / shower shelves like in the picture below im planning on having an area like this to be used when in the bath. what...
