shower

Hi all! TL;DR - I used two washers, one on top of the other, to fix a leaking shower hose connection. Is this a good idea or not? Longer version: I just replaced my old rusty shower hose. When I fitted the new hose using a single washer for the connection to the wall, water sprayed out of that...

Hi all, Hoping you can help. I’ve been tiling my shower and was ready to grout before putting a massive scratch on one of the tiles. I went to remove the tile but it’s taken the tanking and some of the cement board with it. As it’s in a shower, I want to do what I can to make sure it’s not going...

Hi I have a redring glow electric shower. It’s pretty much brand new all the hoses ect the actual unit itself is too. Was fitted about half a year ago. Has been working fine. Used it half an hour ago and now all of a sudden I’ve gone to turn it on again and there’s zero power. Checked the fuse...

Hey all! I'm new to plastering. I'm renovating some large property by myself and learning a lot of plumbing, some minor electricity, woodworking, metalworking, glasswork ext. It's going great as I'm putting 24h a day researching how to and working :) I'm getting really better at plastering...

Hi all, Our Mira Select shower (fitted in 2003) has decided to kick the bucket and the dial will no longer turn. After taking off the front cover is seems the plastic clip on the blue cold water side has snapped and we need a new cartridge. I’m cautiously optimistic this is what we need...

Hey! I am trying to finish off fitting this shower head but unfortunately seem to have run into issues accessing the thread. I’ve attached a couple photos of the issue. Would anyone know what would be required here? There’s tile then plasterboard, a cavity then where i have good access theres...

Hey! Would anyone have any tips and guidance to fit this stop valve onto this pipe, please? It is a valve for a shower spray and i’m wanting it to go right in so the chrome plate covers the tile. I’m aware that something may need to go behind the tile so anything to make that simpler would be...

Attached is a ground floor picture of the soil pipe in our home. There was originally a toilet which has now been permanently capped off and you can also see a sink waste pipe attached. My plan is to drill out one of the 50mm sockets directly opposite the current sink waste for a new 40mm...

I've have had my Aqualisa Quartz Digital shower for about 6 years and haven't had any issues up to now. I recently turned down the Combi Boiler so to heat to the Eco setting. This turned down the heat for the shower as expected, but not warm enough so then changed the boiler back to 75 degrees...

Hi. Hopefully a simple one but does anyone know how I'd go about removing one of these covers from a light in a shower please? And also where I could possibly get a replacement? The cosmetic damage to it just bothers me a bit and I'm guessing they're probably cheap to replace. Cheers

Hi, please can someone advise the make and model of this fixture as we need to replace. Thanks.

Hi everyone, first post on here, looking for some advice. My triton shower started leaking from the top of the outlet. See attached image. Circled area is the outlet bit. It is leaking where this bit attaches to the black unit. Any ideas what to do. DIY is not my specialty! I don't have a pump...

Hi, I have some loose bathroom tiles near the shower that we're actually growing mushrooms from, and they were also growing on the other side of the wall. They have been up over 20 years. Will letting the wall dry out, spraying with diluted bleach and re tiling be sufficient or should I do...

Hi our showers slide bar has just jumped off the wall The bottom part is all rusted and I've a horrible feeling this is the remains of the screw stuck in the plug in the wall. Any idea on how I can get the screw out? I've tried pliers but it's not budging

Hi, I'm not sure if I'm correct. We would like to build stud wall to accommodate excased shower with pipes and possibly nieche shelf. I'm aware aquapanels should be used. However the stud wall timber if I'm correct needs to be attached to old council style brick wall. Should the wall be timber...

Right next to my shower tray there is a 110 mm soil pipe and i need to feed-in the 40mm waste pipe. Being in a recess, once it is connected up it is virtually inaccessible without taking the tray back out again. :-/ My question relates to the best type of reducer to go with i.e. solvent weld or...

Hoping someone can help me here. Today I turned on the electric shower (Triton Madrid II) but it didn’t power on. The isolator switch light turns on initially but the light turns off when I turn the shower to any power mode. The LED power indicator on the shower does not turn on at any point...

Hello I have an ancient Mira Sport Electric Shower that drips from the shower head when not in use. It drips every ten seconds or so. Not sure if this is diagnosable from photos alone? If it's clearly something simple for a non-DIYer like me to fix then that would be ideal. Otherwise I'll look...

They don't seem to make this shower anymore. Could someone recommend a like for like replacement or one that's a near fit please?
