I’ve been doing this long drawn out renovation to my master bathroom, so it’s been about 3 years since I’ve been able to run water throught the pipes in that room. These are steel pipes by the way. I just capped the pipes off where the sink and toilet would normally connect. Because I’m not running water through these pipes (although they are holding water), will they corrode more quickly? Am I to expect some really thin walls in these pipes by now?
I have a 73″ x 36″ tub and would like a one piece tub surround. So far talking to Rona, Home Depot, and many more plus bathroom renovators…..the only one that can provide me with a one piece surround is Bath Fitters ($3000!!!!) I was hoping to find a solution for about half that amount (or less). I have installed a product called aqua floor (a bathroom product that installed like lino for tub surround uses) in a previous renovation, but, can’t seem to aquire that product anymore from my local vendors. Does anybody have an alternate solution for me other than tile or is there maybe even a product that you can apply (like paint or something) directly to the wall, that will work like a tub surround?
Recently did a bathroom renovation, installed new plumbing. When we started filling up the tub with the spout on, water trickles out the shower head. Take the spout off, the shower no longer leaks. What is going on?
It is a Delta, if that matters-seems like Delta has a lot of problems with this? I heard it could be a diverter (sp?) or water pressure.
So when you say diverter, the thing that you pull up on the spout to make the shower come on instead of the tub faucet?
I checked and the unit was installed correctly, as in all the rough plumbing.
I want to use peel and stick flooring in my bathroom as a cheap alternative to costly renovations and wondering if anyone could tell me about the quality of them. Will the steam from the shower cause them to shift or will they still stay firmly in place?
OK…so, bathroom renovation project on main floor. Project was 98% complete. Husband was replacing faceplates on bathub without turning water off at main. He takes off the knob that controls the water, and it honest to goodness looked exactly like an open fire hydrant. I estimate that we were losing at least 30 gallons of water per minute (probably more). Anyway, when all was said and done, our lower level ceiling was SOAKED (soggy), and there was water on the floor that had seeped through to the garage. So far, the ceiling does not appear to be saggy or falling, just very moist.
We disconnected power to the affected lower level rooms, but the question is, do we need to tear out the ceiling and walls to repair this or should we just be able to repaint when it is all dry? I realize that mold is a particular concern, so is there a way we can prevent mold without tearing the whole thing out?
