Shower fittings dont want to go back on

[White Room]

ultracolour plus

Funny I done job thru xmas on some very light tiles, the grout looked a very light grey.

Heard this mentioned before and was using ultracolor.

"depends on what your quote was for if you talk to client you may be able to agree on a solution :8:"
Sounds sensible. I guess I should have spotted that there would be a depth difference -if i had i would have talked over the possible consequences there and then.

I think it would have been ok but I used the mapei white Silicon which is extremely white against the Mapei grout. I might be inclined to go for a darker silincone next time.

just a tip when fitting covers in shower area (taps mixers ect) i always seal between tiles and fixtures to prevent water entering wall cavity never seal covers in place as they can still let water in :8:

Is it a bar type mixer?

If it is wind the swivel elbows out the wall plaste elbows, Either use locktite and fit loosly for gain a few extra mm or fit a 15mmx1/2 female iron to female copper and use these to extend, Or you can grind down the chrome covers a little with a flap disc

Thanks for the suggestion however the mixer is round with an oval plate that fits over it.

Its a Ibox then.....Basically your knackered!

The box is set into the wall and has a rotating ring for depth setting, Once fixed and tiled in you cant adjust

Shaft extensions are available from Hamsgrohe but the ibox still has to come out

 

[fad]

when you say the ibox has to come out, are you talking about the mechanism which you would find behind the chipboard ( in this case )?

 

[simhopper]

Yes

This is a Ibox(Yours will be the old shape ibox)
