Wish I had something to trade just spent the last three hours trying to unblock my downstairs loo.
The drain is blocked and is under a screwed down deck.
When you flush the loo it comes up through the sink, nice:
Plunge Plunge etc etc no joy:sniff:

Unless the manufacturer has changed design or discontinued the shower you have, buy the same one, It should be a straight swap over

As for the blocked drains Im glad its not me:D

Try moving on to the next manhole, if you no which way the drains run. More than likely its blocked in the manhole outlet .Then rod back up the line. Set of rods cost about £15

Thought that would have been against planning regulations, having a manhole in your conservatory due to health reasons:o

As Long as the manhole cover is a sealed one its fine with planning regs

Exactly what I did when my electric shower packed in. Bought the latest model from the same manufacturer and it was a straight forward swap over apart from having to drill a few new mounting holes.
