Hello, I just had my toilet sink drainage pipe replaced today because the old metal one was leaking and when I tried to tighten it the whole pipe snapped off (the new one is also a metal one with a larger lower trap body). I noticed a problem after the replacement: Whenever I turn the tap on at the highest water flow, water started raising and leaking out of the overflow eye on the sink. I did a few experiments and noticed: 1. If the flow of water is low or medium, water does not raise up in the overflow and no water comes out from it. 2. If I put a bucket under the tap and run the water at maximum flow (so no water gets into the drainage), no water comes out from the overflow. The new drainage pipe was installed by someone who is not an expert in plumbing, and he said he had no idea why water is coming back out of the overflow (he also didn’t do a very good job on the pipe itself, as there are a couple of leaks at the joint points). I have used the sink for nearly 3 years, this had never previously happened with the old drainage pipe. The person who installed it is trying to say I have a blockage in there and his installation of the drainage pipe has nothing to do with the water leaking out of the overflow, but this never used to happen before the installation. Please would you be able to give me advice on why this is happening? And how can this be fixed? Thank you very much for your help. Kind Regards, Jack

Hi I need to replace my bath tap but I wanted to know if I will need to buy the exact same tap I have currently or is it okay to buy a new different style tap?

Hiya! The water pipe that connects to the washing machine has a plastic end that is obstructing the blue plastic water tap on the pipe (the one that stops water passing through the pipe) .... can you help advise what connection I need to get? Many thanks .

Im trying to turn the water off to unplug my washing machine but I can’t see anything to turn it off, i can see 1 isolation valve but that turns the hot water off

Can I just swap old isolation valve for new as mine won’t turn due to slot being worn it’s for my bath tap

I am putting a shower into our garage. The mains water runs at 1.5Bar / 9litres per minute. For the best shower experience, should I put in a 15kw Gas Combi boiler, or an 80L Electric Unvented Immersion Tank? I am mostly interested in water pressure and shower length ... I assume the Gas Combi you can run as long as you want but the water pressure is reduced as it has to be heated as it goes, but for the Electric Heater you run out of HOt Water in 20mins but the pressure is good. Advice?

Can I use a gravity shower from a hot water tank

We had new bathroom sanitary ware fitted when we had renovation, we moved back into the property last month and its been like hell. Too many things wrong, and even personal items damaged. We had enough of the builders, who took our money and left incomplete jobs and left us in lots of financial difficulty, we dont ever want to use those builders again. One thing We would like to know is why the lid of the new toilet doesn't sit properly on top of the toilet seat? Does the toilet seat belong to a different toilet? I'm very suspicious as it even looks like it a second hand one when it should have been a brand new one., also it has lots of scratches on it. I asked the plumber who fitted it but he wasn't helpful at all.

We moved to an area with soft water,since then my hair is limp, no body and gets dirtier faster, which I've never experienced before;anywhere I've lived. The one thing I can't figure out is, when I have my hair done at different area salons, it feels "normal". Could it possibly be our pipes? We.had the house built about 8 years ago. I'm at my wits end!!

It seems tradesmen don't like doing this job?

Plumbers tapped two of my radiators when they put in a new boilers and now the screws they put in are leaking and are not tightening
