Leaking shower remedy Discussion Thread

I have a ten year old Provost Riser Rail System with Integrated Shower Mixer and Thermostatic ABS (Ultra) (pic attached) which is now beginning to leak a little around the on/off tap on the left hand side.

CT1 for shower tray ? Discussion Thread

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, but I've just replaced my gutters as a DIY project, and hired someone to break up the concrete in the backyard and install a soak well where I've added a down pipe (there was previously only one down pipe for the whole house, which wasn't up to code). I wasn't home at the time, but he told my partner that he couldn't find a soak well, so has instead installed an absorption pit. He...
