toilet plumbing bathroom

Hello all, We purchased the property a year ago and we're now finding that we'd really like an additional bathroom downstairs in what was originally planned as a utility room by the previous owners. The extension is split with a concrete block wall in the middle between the utility and dining...

Hi, My builder fitted a wall hung toilet with a soundproof foam mat and I can see a3 mm gap between the end of the toilet seat and the wall tiles when I sit on it. The sealant is not on yet as the builder will put it on later once the bathroom is comlete. The wooden structure behind the tile...

Our toilet keeps getting clogged and I'm not sure what to do about it. First all we're not putting anything down there that isn't supposed to be there. It seems like stuff isn't going around the u bend, sometimes we'll flush and it seems all clear only to later go in and find stuff back in the...

Hi, I have installed the waste pipe as seen in the attached photo, making sure I have a fall of 1:4 to 1:3 from invert of the bend at the frame to the invert of the 4” pipe at the face of the bend ( the distance is 1400mm) that goes into the outside soil pipe. However, I’ve just seen few...

Hi, I'm trying to replace an old toilet inlet valve but having trouble with the flexible metal connector tube. It's a bottom fill system. The fixed mains water pipe comes up from the floor and terminates with an isolator valve (which I've switched off) - it is then joined to the plastic toilet...

New toilet pan with a cistern-concealing 'cupboard' recently installed. Due to my careless mistake the 'cupboard' when it arrived was over a foot deep and in the restricted space available this only left a few inches between the front end of the seat and the wall. My bad. I put up with the...

How is a Toilet fixed to the Floor? This might seem like a silly queston but i was cleaning mine last night and i noticed one of the four screws holding it to the floor is very loose. Are they held in by washers? If so could it have rotted away? I dont see a washer or anything like that on the...
