toilet

Been renovating the bathroom, and onto the toilet! I had this covered whilst doing everything else so hadn't given it much thought till now. I had wrongly assumed that there was an adaptor onto the main out pipe, however none of it seems to shift at all. From the wall to the lip all seems to be...

Hi, The annex toilet has a fan that vents outside, the grille was stuck on (not really secured anymore) with silicone.. the vent inside is unlined.. it's rough like the outside render. Obviously the grille should be screwed to the wall but should the vent be lined inside with a plastic pipe...

Can anyone help with a solution to a partially blocked toilet? This has never happened before and has only just started. Basically the toilet flushes fine, and maybe the fresh water after a flush takes a little longer to settle at the correct height. But after a few hours left alone, brown...

Our toilet is often blocking up. I was wondering if it was worth pushing an endoscope like this down to see if I can find anything, before getting a plumber out. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inspection-Depstech-Borescope-Endoscope-Smartphone-Black/dp/B01NBFTAHE The cord has some stiffness. I am...

We are planning to chop up our large bathroom to a small bathroom incorporating the airing cabinet and to a bedroom. I have no idea where to place the toilet bowl, sink and shower or the measurements. This is going to be the main bathroom (only a wc downstairs). I am not planning to have a tub...

Hi, the horizontal length of 4” pipe from cistern frame to the face of the 92.5 degree bend which goes into the main stack pipe, is 1400mm and has a fall of 45mm i.e 1:31.6, is this okay? I’m aware 1:40 is the standard. See attached for more details. Also the joint of the bend and the 4inch...

Hi, I can't get my friend's toilet tank to stop dripping. It seems to be dripping out of the larger blue dial left of the little white water faucet thing. It also just doesn't fully shut off. I tried adjusting the arm and the little silver screw thing but it only shuts off if I lift it; the...

Hi, Our downstairs toilet in a modern extension (built approx. 10 years ago) is blocked / draining very slowly. I know of no drainage plans and believe it's classed as private pipework unfortunately. So far I have tried: - Wire coat hanger pushed round the bend - Buckets of hot water with...

So, to cut a long story short I'm renovating the entire ground floor of my house which includes enlarging the bathroom and changing its layout. Here is the new layout: Bathroom 2d Plan by jwilf posted 23 Dec 2018 at 12:24 PM And in 3D: Bathroom 3d Render by jwilf posted 23 Dec 2018 at 12:24...

Help! When my toilet stopped flushing due to the cistern no longer filling with water, I found this helpful thread: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/slow-filling-toilet-siamp-fittings.187346/ and discovered a crack in my inlet valve washer - I have now replaced this and I believe I've done...

Hi all, When I install the WC against the wall, the waste pipe from the washbasin will be in the way. I'm trying to reduce the amount of unnecessary / visible pipework anyway. My question is: If I feed the washbasin waste pipe straight down and join onto the bath waste pipe, am I likely to get...

Can anyone help. Recently had an overflowing toilet cistern, (2 days ago), the toilet was flushed and the cistern level kept rising, I tried lifting the float/valve (sorry, I don't know the correct name) but the water didn't stop gushing out of the outside overflow toilet pipe. I had to call a...

Hi all, So, push button toilet, believe it to be a SIAMP flush. Couple of months ago, cistern was taking ages to fill. Took the top off, took it apart, found the diaphragm washer was split. Replaced the washer, put it back together, bingo. Fills like a dream, award major man points to myself...

Guys, Quick one, I’m probably being thick. What the hell do these dimensions mean with most measurements including “+-“ and a second set of digits... I just want to know at what height above FFL the centre of the pan outlet sits... 180mm, 195mm or 170mm?!

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 all, I'm looking to have a new close coupled toilet, considerations are: -dual flush -reasonably low water usage -a bowl design which actually means that solids are flushed down on first flush -price i was quite impressed with a Vitra, in a place I visit, though I don't know which model it...

Hi The overflow pipe is dripping. I have been researching how to stop it but am now confused as to where the pipe comes from. In my naivety I thought overflows just came from heating systems. I have now read it could be from the toilet. How do I find out which it is coming from?

I have the Fluidmaster PRO550UK fitted to a cistern in the house. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fluidmaster-PRO550UK-Front-Mounted-Flush/dp/B0060X5Q0A/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_60_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=X9T0EAWVS9C7588BV1R7&th=1 Generally it works exceptionally well, but occasionally when the large...

Hi we've just had out bathroom floors tiled in porcelain tiles. I'm about to put the toilet back on and the washbasin,tilers mentioned that I'd get away without having to drill the toilet down and washbasin and that silicone will hold it secure? I plan to secure the sink to the wall as it's...
