  • Accessing drainage pipe on leaking shower

    Our shower is leaking through the ceiling. We've tried resealing it, but it still leaks so we think it might be the drainage pipes but I can't see how to access them without taking the tray out. Is this normal?

    Warm outdoor tap

    Years ago we had an outdoor tap fitted that gave us warm water for washing our dogs. Kitchen sink was moved during refurb and they changed all the pipes so now only hot water out of the tap…they removed a small valve that was really small and simple but I can’t find it online anywhere- it wasn’t one of the big TMVs I’ve seen- just a small brass joint..any help appreciated!

    Leaking Mono Mixer tap

    I have a Wilkes Siranne Mono Mixer tap on my bathroom sink. It's from about 2013 and has two rectangular knobs. The hot side is leaking and it likes to sing quite a bit. I've removed the screw, but cannot get the handle off. Is it worth attempting a replacement of the cartridge, or just go for a new tap? Thanks
