  1. To be fair the shower was fitted about 6 months before tiles where even picked. Now the shower in the other bathroom has no excuses, it's proper squint
  2. Shower valve is a rhoper Rhodes event sv1406. All I can find is a flow cartridge and thermostatic cartridge. No non return valve or parts diagram
  3. All I see is I need to give it a clean. It is straight I have the camera squint. You would have it centered in a tile?
  4. If I remember there is an adjustable Allen key in the face of each cartridge behind the dials once there removed, unsure what they did tho. Put pressure back up and isolated each tap in turn but that made no difference so must be a shower. Couldn't hear any flowing noise from behind tiles. One shower does drip awhile after switching off if that could indicate a fault

  6. Yes, new build 2 years ago. Probably going to end up being a shower body as only way to access is remove tiles an cut a hole. Will investigate further after work.
  7. It appears that I have mains cold in the hot side permanently not just when a taps open. When I close the cold feed into the water cylinder open a hot tap then open the valve at the tun dish I have a constant pressurised flow where as it would normally spit n gurgle a bit then stop. Can a normal mixer tap failing cause this or is it only a shower body that would? Suppose I can eliminate the taps easy enough by isolating them
  8. I don't think it has, it's been fine for two years, I think something has just broke. Just need to figure out what, if the trend continues it'll be the most expensive bit.
  9. Unvented cylinder heated from a gas boiler. All hot taps and showers are fed from the one outlet off cylinder. All mixer taps are putting only cold water out, showers and normal taps are fine. Mains water has a pressure regulator on it that was set at 4 bar, I turned that down to 2.5bar and I get hot water from mixer taps as normal. I've not noticed an increase in pressure so pressume that it's always been at 4 bar and nothings changed there but for some reason the cold water is now over powering the hot? system is no longer balanced? Any plumbers point me in right direction? At first I presumed it was a failed cartridge in the mixer taps but three wouldn't go at once but if one failed could it cause the problem?
  10. there attic trusses so are designed to be turned into a liveable space and take the weight, "for future development" the house has been designed to develop the upstairs into a habitable space in the future.
  11. It was the mesh tape, but all missing the point here, its been fine with next to zero crackage for nearly two years, what little crackage there was was fixed after a year. since the attic was floored 3 months ago about 30percent of all ceiling joints have cracked open.
  12. Do you mean the chipboard flooring will shrink? Attic trusses have surely done most of there shrinking
  13. Whats scrim? Plasterboard joins where taped, skimmed over then rubbed down before painting
