This term forieners, I've never heard it before either.

Q-plumb, when you say you fit a bath in two hours do you use battons to support the back and sides?

This forum has grown in popularity this year, probably due to the death of the Screwfix Plumbers Talk. Ultimate Handyman and Trusted Tradesmen forums get too little traffic for my liking. Diynot is good though.

little tip when changing pop ups that are discolerd you can often wind the waste fitting out from the top by hooking a pair of small footprints in to the slots in the fitting then wind new one back in saves taking basin of the wall

thanks steve,
i have been hovering over that idea hoping it works becauese the bidet is tiled in and on the floor so have to chip out completely, prob is its a pop-up rod so just round hole?.

the basins are worse, tiled in pedastal by 1/2 inch and tight to waste nut under looking for ultra slim 1 1/4 box spanner or do it from top. tightening so no leaks going to be difficult tho.

if the basins are normal slotted wastes get those waste washer kits that have a conical rubber washer there pretty leak proof even if you cant get them realy tight i wouldnt use then as a rule there an un necessary exspence as plumbers mate is normally fine if you use a poly washer instead of the silly rubber one that comes with most waste fittings now
