bathroom

Hi all, Would just like to run my plan of attack for my new upstairs shower room past some people with experience! I've trawled the internet and think I've came up with the right order for doing things. Any info or advice is more than welcome! Shower room has vapour board around all...

Possibly a dumb question, but is is compliant to put an IP rated lightswitch in a bathroom, e.g. IP66 outdoor lightswitch? Presumably the issue is condensation rather than wet hands or splashing? Are IP rated lightswitches condensation proof? Presumably pull cord switches are not condensation...

Hi All, Just moved into my first house and the extractor fan in the bathroom looks like its seen better days. I'm afraid to turn it in because of that loose wire. Does this look like something that can be easily fixed or do I need to call out an electrician? Any advice would be much...

Hi, we are renovating our family bathroom and the tiler is currently fitting tiles on both floor and walls. I now need to buy the grout for the tiler. Our tile joints are 2-3mm. He said to just go to Topps Tiles and buy their grouting as it is good. But I wanted to see if that's actually good...

I have an air vent on a glass in the bathroom and I need to have it replaced. (picture attached). Can someone help me understand what this is called and what the best place is to buy one like for like?

Hello all, Installing a new bathroom on a timber suspended floor, whilst attempting to get the final floor level as low as possible, and very confused about what I can tile on to! I had imagined I could replace the existing floorboards with 18mm Ply straight onto the joists, and tile directly...

Hi there, I can see the sealant coming away slightly on one of the ends of the tub where it meets the wall/tiles. The other 2 seals seem fine. So I've removed the silicone across the edge of the bath where the taps are and have left the rest alone. Can I just re seal the one edge or do I need...

Right so I recently moved into my council flat. It has a wet room. Which has a shower, sink and a bog (toilet). If water from the sink goes on the floor or if you **** on the floor next to the toilet, it will flow past the shower and towards the door… Which obviously will cause issues. i stuck...

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...
