shower

I see this issue is not a new one, but I have a variable that I wanted to check with you guys before I do anything. I've just moved into a house share, and the room has an en suite shower that has apparently never worked. There is a very slow trickle with the mixer turned to hot, and sometimes...

Context is problems with shower. Starts warm, then goes cold and repeats. Have also noticed hot top also does this. I think the HW flow rate is too low. I thought at first maybe just crappy mains pressure, but noticed that hot water flow rate much lower than cold and so maybe boiler heat...

Bear with me, this is a long story: This the 5th time I've had this work done, and no body seems to know the cause. I have a bath mounted shower, which comes off a bath mixer tap which come from the floor. (THERES NO PIPES IN THE WALL). This was all originally fitted with new tiles after I...

Hi, my mixer shower appears to drip from hose and very slowly from the shower head when it is turned off. I changed the hose but when I unscrewed it to take it off an awful lot of water came out of the bar. Is this normal? The new hose is on and its fitted correctly but after a few hours a large...

I'm hoping to get a new shower enclosure but will be keeping existing tray. There will be some damage to the tray/tile seal when the old enclosure is removed can I just repair with extra sealant or would the advice be to replace the old seal completely before going ahead and fitting new...

I have a shower running off bath mixer taps (i.e. not an electric shower) and for the last few weeks it has been driving me insane... hot water has been intermittent and water pressure is terrible. Plumbers can't figure out what is causing the problem. What happens is this: when I turn on the...

Hi, I have installed a wall plate elbow (see attached the only photo I have of this) for shower hose elbow outlet, but the problem I have is that after 10mm WP board+grout and tile (assume 15mm WCS), the elbow will be short of the tile outer edge by 10-15mm. This will be an issue as how would I...

Hi folks, Just wondering if I could get a little advice before going down the wrong rabbithole. We have an Aqualisa Digital Visage shower, about 2.5 years old. Just in case it matters, it had a faulty power board/supply replaced about a year ago as it was not turning on on a warm day...

Have 10.8Kw shower attached to 50A Mk Switch. Outward apperance of switch is fine but switch used to get warm during use. Noticed neon light flickering so pulled switch, peeled wires back to new and replaced with another MK 50 A dipole switch. Photos show N2 terminal was overheating and had...

Hi everyone, I have recently entered a new property. The property is served hot water by a gas combi boiler at a fixed temperature of 55oC. The bathroom of the property has a shower mixer with a tap, similar to the one shown on the attached image. From the beginning, this setup has been...

Hello Looking for a bit of advise before next step. Moved in earlier this year. House is 4 bed, 1 bathroom 2 ensuites. Extension has 1 of the ensuites which has a shower pump lovating in the loft above. I’ve attached a basic,but hopefully clea, diagram of how the shower/pump is plumbed in...

We have a Megaflo D70. Should it be able to keep up with the use of 1 shower continuously? We seems to run out of water after a 10 minute shower at the moment. I don’t think there is another boiler in the system - should there be? ... the property has electricity only.

Hi all, before I contact the builders who built our house, I'm just wondering if anyone can tell me if we should have this much standing water in our shower drain hole/plug hole? You can see the level of the water on the picture. Got the new house in July. Thank you in advance

Im building a three sided timber stud wall to create a shower enclosure and using aquapanel cement board over the studs. Theres a lot of conflicting advice online re whether to install a vapour control barrier behind the aquapanel or tank the surface before tiling (or both!) to ensure its...

Hi guys, 8 years ago had an inexperienced friend of a friend who tiles my bathroom flooring in an attempt to fix the shower floor, the water sadly would slope outwards into the stair landing area, it is a wet room. Problem is I would like to remove these tiles, but re-concrete the floor with...

Hi, I was wondering would it be possible to install, Shower room and toilet in a narrow alleyway? The alleyway is about 2.5 feet wide (currently in process of buying the house, in its latter stage). Length and height is no issue. The alleyway has got everything it needs for shower and toiler...

Hi My husband and I have recently completely ripped out our bathroom and installed a new one. Father in law did the pipe work for the new stuff, and we have replaced our old electric shower with a bar mixer shower, which we finished fitting last night. When turning it on, the water runs fine...
