can I install a bath onto walled tiles?
I've a wet room all tiled but I want to put a p bath in under the shower onto the walls. I don't want to have to redecorate, just install the bath. One plumber said he would seal it ato the tiles, another said you have to fix it to the wall not the tiles. He went on to say taking one row of tiles off may damage the next tiles and it'd be best having "mermaid" bath panels on the wall to fix the bath to. Which plumber is right? Thanks

Dripping overflow on Block of flats
Is it normal for a block of flats to have just one overflow ? Affinity water have been called out because the overflow is dripping and by the mess of the wall it’s been leaking for some time. Water company have said it’s my flat that’s leaking due to my excessively high water usage. I live alone and in Oct I was usually 477 litres a day which is very high considering I’m out all day. However since Oct I’m now usually approximately 1200 litres a day which is crazy. Hence water company saying the leak is mine. I’m struggling to understand how it’s possible to use this much water and why there is only one overflow for a block flats. Any advise /help would be greatly appreciated.
