    Replace electric shower

    Hi hive mind I'm moving into a new house soon and planning to completely rip out the bathroom and start again. Currently there is a bath with an electric shower. the water is served by a tank (there's one in the loft and one in the cupboard next to the bathroom) i'm assuming there are hot and cold pipes running from the water tank to serve the bath taps? in this case when i do the re-fit is it going to be possible to install a mixer shower (i plan to get rid of the bath entirely for a nice walk in shower/wet room look) or am i forever stuck with electric showers? the tiles and floors will be getting ripped up anyway so i'm assuming it shouldn't be a problem? Thanks all!

    Over flow pipe leak

    So I own a first floor flat and each flat has our own water tank, the flat below mine has a large wet/damp patch on their wall around their tank over flow pipe, they informed me that the plumber could not find any issue with their water tank and that they could see it was coming from my overflow pipe, I had a plumber over straight after that who repaired the ball cock, but about a week later I notice the wall was wet again and it looked like drops of water were coming out of their overflow, I’ve had my plumber back again who checked my area thoroughly including my bathroom and said there were no issues in my flat and he said if it was ever my overflow pipe then my wall would have been wet too which it isn’t. We’ve had a lot of rain over the last couple of weeks too so would this be keeping the wall wet, it looks really bad and the wall is starting to go black but I don’t know what else to do?

    Cutting copper pipe

    What's the easiest way to cut and remove an old copper pipe (no longer in use) that's surface-mounted in the corner of a room? There's not a lot of room to use a saw or pipe cutter.

    Banging pipes when showering

    Our water pipes are making a banging noise when we use the shower. Just when we turn it off. Is this a serious problem and how do we stop it?
