Once you've found that perfect bathroom suite, you now face the challenges involved in perfectly installing it. Its proper installation will require your patience and a basic knowledge on how your bathroom fixtures work so that you get to easily install each one without worrying of installation failures.
Here is an effective guide on how to properly install your very own bathroom suite:
Removal (when you are replacing old fixtures)
If you are replacing old bathroom fixtures with a new bathroom suite, then the removal of these fixtures will be the very first thing you need to do. You need to strip out the toilet, the basin, the bath, including the ceramic tiles that surround the bath, bottom rows, and the bath panels as well.
Make sure that you have turned off your water and it should have been fully drained from the pipes before you begin the installation. If you need to rearrange the pipes, (i.e. cutting, extensions) it is advised that you get some professional help if you are not sure what to do.
Remove any fittings and detach wastes present. Also make sure that you have unscrewed the fixtures that need to be removed properly or you might damage your bathroom during the removal or the installation process.
Pre-Installation Planning
Make sure that you plan properly before you install your bathroom suite so that everything goes smoothly. It is advised that you place the fixtures in their proper places before finally installing them so that you can see a similar look and feel after you have successfully installed your suite. At this time, you can also decide some minor or major changes if you feel like it; once you've made your decisions, everything should then be final to avoid any hassles.
Installation
Installation for your bathroom suite is very easy. Just make sure that you have the suite's manual in handy and you might also need help from someone else to make the processes a lot easier.
When installing your very own bathroom suite, there are several tips that you need to consider so that you can perform the installation flawlessly:
Adjust the feet of your bath to make sure that it is level before you finally attach it to the wall and screw the brackets.
It is important that you anchor your bath. You can do this by screwing its feet.
Make sure the connectors are in place and the fittings are joined.
You can fill up the bath with water to test if there are any leaks present.
If your bathroom suite includes a different type of toilet, make sure that you read the installation instructions indicated on the manual thoroughly.
If you've bought the same type of toilet as the one you've uninstalled previously, then a reversal of the removal process will do the trick.
Make sure that the waste pipe of your basin points upward from the pedestal's center. Make use of a putty sealer to seal the pedestal's top.
Mark the right areas for your screws before installing the basin on top of the pedestal.
Make sure that the waste connections are properly screwed and the basin is secured.
After the installation of your bathroom suite, it is essential that you make quick tests for any leaks, or loose screws. This is to ensure that you get to fully use your new bathroom suite without any unwanted hassles.
