bath

Hey All, Happy new year! We`re building a new bathroom and we`re considering a whirlpool bath with shower. Am considering an P or L shaped. I`m concerned that a few years down the line the shower screen will leak or someone will crack the side panel and will be a right pain to find a...

Bath has two 3/4 taps, hot and cold. Was considering replacing knackered swirl taps with reviver kit. Bath is never used and capping taps off avoids possibility of young student tenants flooding over run bath onto neighbours underneath. Anyone know if there is an equivalent to a reviver kit that...

I have been left with a new bath after I purchased for a job that got cancelled! It's a Brand new, full packaged Tempo Arc 170cm Idealform Plus+ Shower bath, left hand Capacity 195 litres Location is Kendal, Cumbria If you have any projects which can use a left hand shower bath, please give...

Hi, I've fitted a metal Kaldewei bath with a Bristan Quest mixer tap. The tap holes were pre-drilled and the centres are fine. I tested the electric shower above and water leaked through the base of the tap and through the holes, onto the floor. The issue is that the holes in the bath are 35mm...

hi So I bought a nearly new shower / bath tap as you can see in the pics. But I am a complete numpty and have no idea what all the black bits with threads are to the left of the box ? Can someone please enlighten me :-) and sorry if I am being really thick ! Thanks in advance Thanks Bob

Hi, So I have a problem with my bath. It takes 4+ hours to drain I have taken pipes apart underneath. No blockage. I used I long flexible pole with a 'brush' on the end. Nothing came up with it and it was moving about freely. Put it through u bend too. Reassembled. Still blocked. It takes...

In the process of working on my bathroom, I dropped the sink in the bath and the waste pipe chipped the surface of the bath. Replacing the bath is not really an option and the chip is relatively small - 10mm by 3mm at it's widest. I'm looking at repair kits as I'm worried about it leaking -...

Hi all, I have just moved house and trying to get the shower working. There are mixer taps in the bath with a shower attachment. When running water through the taps everything works as expected. When diverting the water to the shower attachment everything goes freezing cold. One exception is...

I would like to identify this old bath/shower diverter so that I can obtain the correct washer and maybe an exploded diagram before tackling the rather awkward job. To explain how it operates, the upright piece on the left is the hand shower, its hose (and connection to the diverter) pulls up to...

Good morning, I've been browsing the numerous threads surrounding the above issue but can't seem to find an answer. So I thought I'd post my specific issue for your advice. I'd be grateful for any thoughts you may have. We moved into our home in February and the shower was working perfectly...

Having just bought a new property that has, essentially, 3 bathrooms (upstairs bathroom, ensuite and downstairs bathroom) I was wondering what to do with the upstairs bathroom which is a decent size (7'10 x 12'5) though the exterior wall slopes (dormer bungalow converted upstairs) which has a...

I am currently re-tiling our bathroom and will be fitting a new bath in the next few days. What is the current 'best practice' for installing a reliable seal around the bath? The old tiles had quadrant sections where they met the bath, which had worked remarkably well for around thirty years...

Hi, I live on the first floor of a four storey block of flats. My bath plug hole regularly gurgles (approximately once a day). Water doesn't comes up into the bath though I can see it bubbling away just below and it is often accompanied by a bad smell. Is this likely to be a problem that I...

Our bath has a mixer tap and when turned on sometimes when the tap is set to be fully hot the water is warm but not hot. If we turn off the bath tap and run the hot sink tap in our bathroom we get steaming hot water. If we then turn off the sink tap and turn on the bath tap again we now get...

Not sure it this is the best place to post this. I have moved into a 10 year old and the bath seal is failing and leaking. I've tried a temporary fix of applying a thin bead of silicone not ideal but it's still leaking. I don't like these bath seals but I don't want to removed any tiles as the...

Is there a bath waste that opens by a push button on the overflow? Closure can be by pushing down on the waste like a click-clack type but be opened by pushbutton remote - i.e. without getting hand wet. We currently have a rotary open-close for the waste on the overflow but it's lost it's shine...

Having some issues with hot water in our flat and hoping that people might be able to help us isolate what and where the problem is. We have a Worcester Greenstar combi boiler - either the 24i junior or the 28i (I should know which but there is nothing anywhere on the casing to indicate.) About...

Hi the 4 (screw adjustable) foot supports rest straight to concrete floor (not resting on wood) - but in the middle of the bath underneath is a black bracket attached to the wooden board under the bath - should i put a long bolt in that bracket and support the bat there too or does the bath have...

Dear all, I have a leak that I just don’t understand. I think the freeholder, whose office I am wetting, is going to take out a hit on me, or at least going to get legalistic, if I don’t stop it soon. Please give me your suggestions as to what it could be and/or what I should do to make sure it...
