Hi - I have a plumber booked in to look at this, but I would also like to understand myself what is causing the issue we have. We have a slow drip of water coming from behind the anticorrosion unit on our Ariston unvented water cylinder. The pink "nozzle" behind the Protech unit appears to be...
I've attempted to replace the shower hose from our Aqualisa Lumi electric shower unit.
The new hose is badly leaking water out from the connection point and when I reattach the old hose it is now leaking too!
Both have been tried with new washers and are as hand tight as they can go (wasn't a...
Hi all,
New to this forum and new to plumbing. Only just passed Level One plumbing.
I am having to go back and look at a leak from the back of a WC. The flush pipe is chrome and I have replaced the flush pipe concertina seal.
The seal seems to being pushed out of the WC when flushing. The size...
I've got a leak at the connector next to the p trap under my bath at point 1. on my attached photo.
I unscrewed it and pipe A hardly goes into pipe B - it's almost flush with the start of B. Assume the rubber seal (can't spell) has failed - there's not much chance of water passing through...
Hey - hope you're well,
These two pipes on my boiler have started leaking - not tons of water, but regularly and enough to be an issue.
The insulation around both have become holed / broken, presumably from said water.
You can see a photo here: Screenshot 2023-04-24 at 06.42.32.png -...
when I use my shower there is a leak to the property below. I stopped using it for a week and redone the waste, in this time the water leaking through to the neighbour dried out.
Started using the shower again and the leak reappeared, the shower is a concealed mixer type. I believe the leak is...
Hello, amateur DIYer here.
My shower has recently started slowly dripping from the unit / bar, right where there is a screw fitting. (photos attached)
My best guess is an internal washer has failed, but unsure whether this screw has any other purpose and shouldn't be removed?
Would be...
Hi guys, I have just installed a pop up waste on new basin.
I have siliconed the top with the washer, and the water holds inside the basin with the waste closed but when I pop it up to release the water down the drain it leaks out from the underside of the sink where the backnut nut washer are...
Hi All, I have a leaking drain valve off the CW inlet on a Range Cylinder. Am I right in thinking I have to empty the Cylinder below the CW inlet to change the valve? To isolate cold water to the tank to prevent refill, should I just lock off the 1 stop CW inlet or all 3 red stops?
Turn mains...
I'll start this by saying I'm hoping to sort this by diy / minimal professional help as I'm a very tight budget!
I've got a walk-in shower in a wet room. The shower has a tiled-over former with an additional ring of tiles around it. When the shower's in use, a drip comes through into the room...
Basic stuff for most of you no doubt but we all have our ignorances.
This drain off is leaking (from the end of the bit water is meant to come out of when in operation).
It's also basically pointless as I doubt you'd get a hose on it, although I suppose you could try tightening it into the...
Hi Plumbersforums,
I’m not a plumber, but a tenant with a possible plumbing issue. I live in a 100+ year-old walkup, and my landlord renovates apartments without a permit. A few years ago, he installed a washer/dryer in the apartment above mine, in the closet above my closet. Two days ago, I...
Just discovered water is constantly dripping out of the tundish (noticed from the overflow pipe outside dripping…) I beleive it’s coming from the prv as I appear to have a drip under that too and water dripping in tundish is cold. I’ve also discovered after finding this forum that I probably...
Keen amatuer that I am I decided to have a go at changing the cartridge in my shower when the old one failed. I had a spare as I got one when I had the valve fitted. The cartridge is as a SC50T32 I followed the video on the Ultra technical site l and it all went smoothly but I now have a...
Hi
My thermostat shower is leaking at the temperature position. How do I fix it, there's a grub screw underneath which i have already taken out, not sure what to do next?
Many thanks
I'm trying to access the inside of this tap but can't see any 'button' at the back, or similar. It's likely we'll be replacing this and the sink in a month or so but need to fix this asap of course.
Hi we have an Ariston new europrisma 10 UR 3KW heater and it has started to leak from a hole that is covered with tape at the back of the heater. I have tried to find something that explains what this hole is but can't find anything. The heater has been in about 3-4 years and only started...
Hi all, hoping you can help me.
I have a leak where the bath waste pipe connects to the boss pipe. Not sure if its a push fit or pipe weld type. In the pic, it's the lower of the 2 pipes coming from the left. What's the best solution for this please? I'd best tell you that I'm not particularly...
Hi all ,

Hard to remove it seems tight , can I just get away with putting some ct1, fernox lsx or...
Hi everyone, thanks for your time reading this!
We have noticed a leak appearing from the built-in toilet in our main bathroom that's spreading around our floors (great start to the year!). I've removed the panel behind the flusher and can see the water inlet attaching to the Cistern is slowly...
