Speed fit connectors

Hi there, Just fitted a new bath at the weekend and used speed fit connectors to connect bath taps to hot and cold feed. Everything looks good with no leaks but i noticed the hot push fit connection moves up and own a little when you turn the hot tap on and off, cold is fine and does not move. Cold ...

Bathrrom suites

I have seen that you can buy a bathroom, suite for as little as £189 from some well know DIY places.

Its probably obvious but what problems can buying a cheap suite cause, is it just the colour fades or could i have more serious problems with cracks in the bath/leaks etc?.

Many thanks

Water flow from Bath shower mixer poor

Hi Plumbers, We have a combi boiler fitted last August in Kitchen and have a cold water tank in the loft. Water flow from all taps is reasonably good including the bath. The bath tap is a mixer which has a knob to switch to shower so its probably not the best option on the market but what we had whe...

[quote="kbrownie"]HI Newps, Ring him up, sounds like plaster not bonded to wall, but don't mention de-humidifier to him. It will have taken moisture out of skim, plaster best left to dry on it's own. Good Luck KB[/quote] Hi KB, thanks for that, the plasterer came around today as all the wa...

Fine cracks in plaster

Hello, My whole living room was skimmed in June 2007, took 2 days to skim and plaster and 5 days to dry so we used a de humidifier for a couple of days.
