    Shower/ Sink very slow to drain to macerator

    I have a macerator which does a toilet, sink and shower in our basement, it has worked fine for 2 years then water started backing up into shower tray so I took the macerator out (3 hr job due to location) and the non-return valve had come a bit loose. Repaired that, gave it a good clean out...

    A new view on toilet water usage, artistic toilet sink

    Hi all, I am redoing a toilet. I would like, as you flush the toilet, to use the water that refills the reservoir to go to a little sink first where you can wash your hands before that water fills the reservoir. I do not wish for a faucet on that sink, just a pipe. The water leaving the sink...

    What are these sink wastes called?

    The type with a twistable control that mounts on the surface? Can't find any googling around. Anyone know if the control nob hole is likely to be a universal size for a non like-for-like replacement? If not will just suggest a white sink hole stopper and a new strainer waste with circular...

    Pipework under sink and bathroom basin with pics query

    Hi everyone, I took pictures to better illustrate my questions and hope it helps. The hot water pipe under the sink (top pipe) has a valve on it with the number 15 on it and the cold pipe (under top pipe) has a stopcock which stops the water coming into the kitchen sink. Does the cold pipe...

    Blue stains in sink

    Hi all, I've moved into a new house a few months ago and these blue stains have been building up in the bathroom sinks. I've tried googling and it sounds like it's from copper pipes. Does anyone know how big a job this will be to fix? Thanks.

    New sink waste

    Am trying to get my head around plumbing in my new 1.5 kitchen sink. The waste arrangement looks complicated, to my mind at least. Have attached photos to show how the pipework looks connected up as per instructions. I am not sure how one is supposed to do this as the pipework extends some 170mm...

    Can't find correct replacement kitchen sink waste basket/plug.

    Our kitchen sink waste basket plug is broken and I can find one that looks the same type anywhere. I've attached pictures of the half sink plug for illustration, as it's complete and works the same way. This plug twists and drops to make a seal, or pulls up and turns slightly to stay in drain...

    I have installed a new wash basin in a bathroom using (mostly) the original drain plumbing. The drain plug is a slotted click/clack type and the drain drops vertically into a standard U bend before feeding horizontally for about 5 or 6 inches to another bend where it drops vertically into the...
