Bathroom starts !

[Pocster]

Can’t ct1 another bit as it has a spring clip that would get stuffed !! 

[Pocster]

These are hard to install on your own !

Also I’m about 1mm out and it causes issues !!! . No one will notice of course ! apart from you gits because I’ve said so ?

[Pocster]

Confused !

The sliding door stops are in the rail - their position can’t be adjusted .

Closing the door causes this gap due to the top door stop ?

[Pocster]

Quick phone call to Merlyn ; apparently the seal is around 15mm for the edge ! . Guess I’d better find it !! ?

I know . But you did enjoy it 

[Pocster]

Preliminary test of ensuite shower seems good . Just the shower waste to connect up 

 

 

[Pocster]

After numerous leaks ?

Ensuite and shower constantly running seem leak free now .....

[Pocster]

For now .... ?

Yes I can access it from the front by pulling off the panel. Previously I've plaster boarded the framework up. But you could easily cut through it to fix it. 

 

Just how inaccessible will yours be? I would guess that the worst case would be tiles on cement board in front of it. 

 

I always try to make things accessible, but in reality its not always possible. Second best option would be to be able to see it via a endoscope/camera. I've yet to have a leak from a hep2o, I would be more worried about having a brass connector in there. 

 

This is my shower setup. consisting of several compression fittings on to hep2o pipe and 4no. 3/4" to 1/2" bsp reducers.  This is 100% inaccessible or visible. I do wonder a lot of the time as to whether its dripping away behind there or something. All I can do it try to take comfort in the fact that I left it pressurised for 24h without a sign of leaking.

 

But at the end of the day, if it does leak, I have the ability to fix it and finally get rid of the bloody P-Bath.

Sweet looking bathroom pocster. Hopefully it remains leek free.

 

Funny story relating to my post about my shower build....it eventually leaked. Not from a fitting, but from the diverter valve. Getting the faceplate off was a pain in the ass due to vast quantity of silicone use. Tried dental floss, rubbish. Got it off using two wall paper scrapers in the end. Had to replace the diverter in the end, and resealed it using minimal silicone this time. 

 

Best of luck!

Well it’s been around 15 months - no leaks ( from the shower or bathroom ) . Regarding the face plate I didn’t put any silicone under the bottom part . Logic being I should be able to slip a razor blade under there and cut the silicone around the other 3 sides . How practical that is remains to be seen 🙄

Thread revival @Pocster, I'm looking to fit a recessed mirror/cabinet into my small downstairs shower.  Not too many results on the old google.  What did you fit?  Have you been happy with it, has it stood the test of time?

Zero issues for me . It’s a big mirror but shallow ( which I needed ) . *just* squeezed it in a single stud wall . Has a shaver socket in it so plugged an Alexa flex in it . So I can shout and swear at it rather than SWMBO . Looks identical to when I installed it 👍

We have recessed mirror cabinets (although yet to fit them). Not sure where they came from as the better half bought them. I’ll try and find out and let you know.

🤣 Yes, it's been a long long week.  Thought I was climbing the ladder and making progress, about to tick off one room, only to discover this wonderous idea of a recessed cabinet.  Down the snake back to square number 3!!

this is what we got for the kids bathrooms.

wanted recessed so as to give more a sense of space as they're not huge en-suites. not cheap though. 

 

here's a photo of the bathroom with the hole ready for the cabinet to be fitted once the room was tiled and painted.

Spot on that!  That's just the size I'm looking for too!  In the same ballpark as the abacus ones from rubberduck.  I think that would fit snuggly in a 500mm wide hole!
