    Got what is probably a simple issue if you know how.... getting as far as the ceramic cartridges so I can get them out, measure, and hope they are still a currently available size and if not see if I can dissolve out any.

    Freestanding bath; standard taps

    I have a freestanding bath to install - modern variety but with standard bath taps rather than floor standing. Has anybody done this and how did you connect the taps? Is there a tool or sequence which allows tightening of the taps?

    Combined bath/shower wastes

    Hi. If I want to connect bath and shower wastes so they come out of the same pipe to the soil stack, what size does it have to be? 50mm?

    Looking for bath with good well-fitting grips

    I've bought a Kaldewei contract bath. The grips are thin, don't fit well, and enamel has flaked off around the fixing holes after only a few days. So it's going back, but what should I go for instead? I realise that I probably need to spend more.

    Bath tap too fast for the boiler?

    I have a Viessmann boiler 100 35Kw. When I turn the bath tap on full the water comes out cold. If I turn it down the water comes out hot. The tap flow rate is 12 litres per minute. Why can't my Viessmann boiler cope with that? Does it need a new part? Thanks
