What is a plumber’s snake/worm and how does it work?

Hi guys, I just moved into a new place and the en-suite electric shower is damaged and not working. it will be safely disconnected from the fuse board to avoid any surprises. I would like to install mixer shower to get more powerful shower experience compared to slow water flow from electric showers. I have a basin with hot and cold supply 2 meters away from the water inlet for the electric shower. Central heating is by combi boiler. As the cold water supply is already available by the electric shower point, would it be ok to pick up the hot water supply from the basin hot water supply? or what electric shower would you recommend so the hot water water flow could be as close to mixer shower as possible? Thank you.

What might be the cause of a banging sound in the pipework of my property?

How much to change one valve? It’s heavily rounded off and unbleedable… Only one radiator needs replacing, possibly two as a second one is getting temperamental and if it’s more cost effective to do 2 for calling a plumber out. Thanks

I want to change my white flexible plastic pushfit radiator pipes to black. Which paint is best or any flexible sleeving??

The cistern has been leaking into the pan constantly for ages, so today I’ve replaced the fill valve, the doughnut/ coupling washer and the flush valve. All working fine, except there is still a steady flow of water leaking into the pan as it was before. It’s driving me bonkers!! So the cistern leaks water out, then refills itself, then leaks, then refills...etc. Any ideas?

My kitchen tap makes a juddering sound randomly through the day and when the shower is on what is causing this and how do I fix it?

I have decided to install a dishwasher. This would be a brand-new installation, a dishwasher does not currently exist in the kitchen at present. So in one of the units to the one side of the sink, this is where the new dishwasher would go and I’m hoping that an integrated dishwasher, possibly slimline, can go into this space. My concerns are: How can this be undertaken and coordinated, considering that there is plumbing work, electricity considerations, and I’m hoping that I can use the same existing kitchen cabinet door as a cover for it, as I believe it would be difficult to find this exact covering in the market. How can this project come to fruition from a logistical standpoint? I’m finding it really frustrating as most white gold suppliers and other kitchen installation businesses, only include the installation itself, but not installation from scratch like in this case. Would very much appreciate your advice. Ana

Could you tell me what a shutoff valve is please? And how does it work? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

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?
