  1. The Bal grouts are nice, very fine, but the adhesives are just crazy money. When fitting for a local 'luxury' bathroom showroom I noticed one customers bill had adhesive at £65+VAT per bag........12.5kg's not 20 ?
  2. Fit a urinal in your house and you'll be staying single mate. I would not want my house looking like the pub or the motorway services. I'm old fashioned and just pee standing up but actually keep the floor dry. Guys working for me get told with no doubt left that if they piss all over the customers toilet / floor etc they will be paying to clean it up. Pet hate of mine. My two boys must re-inact scenes out of Star Wars thinking their dicks are light sabres, brings a whole new meaning to "wet room" grrrrrrr.
  3. Buy a cheap set of stairs and get it temporarily fitted. This one is free delivery.
  4. Nice bath. You'll need lifeguard on duty when the kids are in it
  5. Jesus! I hope your hot water still works ok ?
  6. All pointless, as when his missus reads through this he's going to be buried alongside the new cold mains pipe outside. ?
  7. A good show of tenacity as usual. Having the right crowd makes all the difference TBH, and bucketing concrete in the digger is a show of grit 'n' determination. Excellent end to what must have been a very long day for the MBC guys.
  8. First off, let's see some pics. If the grout is rammed into the corners and sponged back nicely you may not need any silicone. My current job has none and is looking much the better for it. No silicone anywhere, just CT1 under the glass.
  9. Do you already have Makita / DeWalt / other cordless tools and chargers? If so, buy one naked ( do NOT go the the shop with the wang out !! ) which uses the batteries you have. If not, the big tool players all do one. Saw a guy next door to here with a beast of a DeWalt one that I think takes 2x batteries.(?). Probably the Flex-volt.
  10. You will regret using charcoal I shit you not. It'll go blotchy and be harder to clean than the white. Noooiooooo!
  11. Then let science prevail ( or is it chemistry? ) Spent most of my school days on my Honda CR125 ? Still did well enough in my gcse's to get offered an apprenticeship with two of the industry leaders down here though, much to my teachers amazement ( annoyance more like ✌️). ✅ I am on the edge of my chuffing seat. "Let the games commence!"
  12. Would it be possible for us to maybe conduct this test ? Id say at that point this could be concluded, and anyone who wishes to buy one can, anyone 'else' can select an option that they otherwise feel more confident will serve them best.
  13. Let's get a sample of each and put this to bed? @JSHarris?
  14. That and making food .
  15. You two will be banned if you don't pack it in. @Onoff could use the time to finish his tiles and @pocster can give him a weary-joints massage to relieve the 'tension'. .
  16. I would never fit just a rainfall head, I 100% always compliment with the shower spray headset and riser rail. Othewise you have to go get a bucket of water to clean the damn shower. When you explain that to da' ladies they soon say "out with the minimal look, give me a handset too". .
  17. Does the product, or does the product not have a current patent ? NOTE : There have been some requests to have this thread moderated. Until there is a breach of BH T&C's the content can stand. It's a healthy debate at the moment and will be of value to anyone else considering buying this product. If it is decided that a certain number of magic beans have been discussed, and nothing of factual content brought to the exchange to the contrary, then this thread will be edited back to whenst it came. Mods. In the meantime, let's keep it above the belt and factual. ?
  18. Dare I ask who did the gas and flue?
  19. No need for CT1, just washing the grout off willl do the job. You grout as normal packing every little nook and cranny, and then when sponging off you just rub it into the gap between the trim and the tile. Youll see as you grout that it's all you need. Just make sure the 3 degree benched tile is slightly proud of the top of the trim and set back away by about 1mm so you can get grout into the void of the trim / tile and you'll be fine.
  20. Your a dick lol
  21. I just used to turn the handset to one side, so it sprayed against the wall, and I waited the few seconds for it to heat up. Never got a cold arm
  22. Not really. As most folk are used to an electric shower or a standard bar mixer / concentric valve where the business goes on in one place, then no. If people have been fortunate enough to be able to afford higher speed installs from day one then yes, it may well seem standard, but most have not. When I demonstrated this to my current clients ( who I steered away from B&Q and the 2 x new electric showers they were going to just replace as it was the easy route ) they were blown away, having been used to two utterly shit electric showers for a very long time they were simply unaware that there "was a better way". I very rarely remove concealed stuff tbh, and its mostly bar mixers or electric units, but then the good stuff goes in and the smiles emerge.
  23. Stuck with the window and the soil pipe but it actually works really well. Loo roll stays dry lol
