Likely to be quite challenging, these tasks should only be attempted by an expert or when supported by experienced advice and guidance.
Before you get started on any of our 'how to' guides, please take a moment to read through our DIY safety tips.
Follow these safety regulations and smart ways of working to protect yourself against hazards:
Plumbing work involving pipes is covered by a number of regulations. If you're unsure about them, talk to a professional plumber.
When buying your bath or sink, check that the waste outlets and overflow units are supplied. If not, order the ones recommended by the manufacturer.
If you're breaking up an old cast iron bath, cover it with a thick dust sheet to stop pieces flying. Use a heavy hammer. Wear protective clothing, including gloves, stout shoes and safety glasses.
Attach earth bonding cable and clamps to all metal pipework and fittings as it reduces the risk of electrocution. It's also a legal requirement. Remember to bridge plastic pipework, too.
