Bathroom changes need a new shower and bath tub, give me some plans . I would like to put tile in shower.?

I would like light brown in color of he tile.Bathroom changes need a new shower and bath tub, give me some plans . I would like to put tile in shower.?
sounds as if you want to do this work yourself? I don't like to burst your bubble, but hire a pro to do it. I know builders that sub that part of jobs out to glass pros. If you are off a tiny,tiny, bit that can't even be measured, you will have leaks.And that will be the least of your problems! Then you'll be ready to kill yourself and still have the cost of hiring it done. If you can do the tile yourself, you'll be doing something. Remember, all that tile needs to be cut to fit in corners and around places. I'm sorry I am so negative. When I bought my house 3 years ago, I read every book and investigated every option. I still can't do it, but I can watch someone else and tell them what they are doing wrong! Maybe that's why I get charged more? Much luck to you............Bathroom changes need a new shower and bath tub, give me some plans . I would like to put tile in shower.?

Bath tub drain wont drain?

my tub is over 50 years old and it is in excellent condition. but it doesnt have a stopper that normal drains have. its on open hole. now, the drain is usually closed and the head of it where you open and close it does not work and i have none of the tools needed nor the money to replace it. what can I do?Bath tub drain wont drain?
I agree with the rubber stopper solution until you can get the fixtures replaced. Now for the drainage problem. Your drain is probably clogged with hair. Walmart has a hook remover in the sporting goods section that looks like a small needle nose pliers. It is basically a hemostat.





Use this to reach down into the drain and pull out the hair. It is gross, but it will clear your drain. Been there, done that.Bath tub drain wont drain?
The real problem is that your plumbing is over 50 years old. Be extra careful as your plumbing is likely brittle and will break easily. You could remove the overflow cover with a flat head screw driver and remove the waste and overflow plug that should be attached to a rod or chain, if I understand you correctly.
If you have no tools and no money, and apparently no one to help, then there's not much you can do but set and look at it.
how about a rubber stopper.... this will hold water when you want it too and drain when you remove it - cheap and inexpensive if you do not have the means to replace your tub drain........
You might try twisting the plug to remove it. That is how mine works.
ur bathtub sounds creepy and gross

I have two males n six females for breeding i have them in a bath tub is that to many for a bath tub?

I repeat the earlier question. What are Yabbies? I've never heard of them and I ain't dumb - or rudeI have two males n six females for breeding i have them in a bath tub is that to many for a bath tub?
Uh, what type of animal?





And you shouldn't keep any animal for any reason in a bath tub. They need proper cages and personal space and to be treated like animals, not machines.
There may be 2 too many females depends on the size of the tub?


What else have you got in there ????












Yuck
what animals have you got in there?
what the heck are yabbies?

Girls. When inside swimming pool or bath tub will water enter deep in vagina? How you will take it out?

Water does not go inside the vagina.





WHY? is because the pressure of the water prevents water from going up there.





I hope I helped!Girls. When inside swimming pool or bath tub will water enter deep in vagina? How you will take it out?
In a word - NO!Girls. When inside swimming pool or bath tub will water enter deep in vagina? How you will take it out?

When renting a cabin would you like a hot tub or two antique clawfoot bath tubs with endless hot water better.

I am planning on setting up a cabin in the mountains and was wondering if people would like two old clawfoot tubs out on the porch as much as they love the hot tubs I usually put in the cabins.When renting a cabin would you like a hot tub or two antique clawfoot bath tubs with endless hot water better.
I would prefer the hot tub.When renting a cabin would you like a hot tub or two antique clawfoot bath tubs with endless hot water better.
Antique claw foot tub for sure! They add so much character and ambiance. Someone is quite the romantic.
Hot tub is better and wastes less water

If it takes 10 hrs to drain a bath tub (5700 cm^3), what is the flow rate in kg/s?

I'm not sure what the unit conversion between cm ^3 and kg is...





If it takes 10 hrs to drain a bath tub (5700 cm^3), what is the flow rate in kg/s?
velocity(speed)= mass/time





so basically velocity=5700/10





velocity=570kgcm3/h

How to refinish a claw foot bath tub?

Take a look at this web site http://integritycoatings.com/ They give some pretty good information on what you have to do to paint ceramic tile or bath tub; as you can see it is not a easy job. But they give out a free sample. You probably should have a professional tub refinisher in your area estimate the job. It might be worth it to have them come do it or you might just p/u some stuff called ';Klenks'; which you can brush on , but it will not look as good or last as long.How to refinish a claw foot bath tub?
best way is professional,How to refinish a claw foot bath tub?
you could frame a box around it.go the height of tub about 12in. wide then tile.this finishes it off and you have a great look.
Buy a new one or have it done professionally. The do it yoursefl stuff looks horrible and comes off in a month.
I have one in one of my bathrooms. It, of course is very old and I just put a coat of white paint on the outside of it and then took some of the ivy boarder I used on the walls and put it on the tub. What a conversation piece it is!! There are lots of options, use your imagination and have fun!!
Clip it's nails.
I did one myself about 2 years ago plus an old pedestal sink. i bought the kit at lowes, it's a 2 stage process but not hard to do and it cost under 20 bucks, the only problem is you cannot use the tub for about 5 days until it totally dries and it should be in an area that is pretty much dust free.go to lowes or home depot and in the paint section and tell them what you want to do and they will get it for you, also they can tint it any color you want.
pros use epoxy paint

I just moved into a new house and theres years of paint build up in the bath tub, how do i get rid of it?

someone please help, its taking the hole look off the bathroomI just moved into a new house and theres years of paint build up in the bath tub, how do i get rid of it?
Well, you could buy a tub liner. It's like a shell that goes in your tub and makes it look like a brand new tub! or this may be a bad idea but maybe you could use paint thinner? just let it soak and scrub a little but remember that you have to dispose of it properly, you cant just let it go down the drain. i think the best thing to do would be to go to your local home depot and ask someone for help, i'm sure they could answer you question and you can buy the correct products in the store. Good luck!I just moved into a new house and theres years of paint build up in the bath tub, how do i get rid of it?
This question baffles me, why is there paint in the bathtub at all? I am a painter and this does not even make sense. You can buy paint remover in a can, but might damage the tubs surface. Try on a small area first. You might, after removing paint, be able to have someone come in a resurface the tub. There are many companies that do this. Or, literally just get a new tub, will really be better in the long run.
I would put paint thinner over it and use a putty scraper to pry it off. Make sure to let the thinner sit a few so it can absorb some.

Want pant my bath tub is that possible?

Yes.. you can definitely take your pant of in the bath tub!!!Want pant my bath tub is that possible?
i think you mean paint!Want pant my bath tub is that possible?
Yes, but you will never be able to scour it again. Use epoxy paint make for bathtubs, prepare as directed on can. Apply as directed. Will hold up ok, but will have to be redone done the line. Good luck
panting in your bathtub eh??????? are you alone, or is someone making you pant?


please send pictures either way.
yeah you can. Try using spray paint.
It all depends upon what material has been used to manufacture ur bathtub.If it is porcelain or acrylic as these r usually used for bathtubs then it is not possible. You better buy a new bathtub.
Do you mean refinish your bathtub? If so you can have it done professionally or you can get a do-it-yourself kit from Home Depot. It looks really nice as I have a neighbor around the corner who did hers.

Can I use enamel or acrylic to cover a VERY small chip in my bath tub paint?

They make a special paint for tubs and sinks to repair chips. It isn't expensive and you can get it at any big box store or your local hardware store.Can I use enamel or acrylic to cover a VERY small chip in my bath tub paint?
Neither will give you durability or long term performance in a wet environment like a bathroom. You don't say what the tub is made of but no matter the composition, fiberglass, enamel over cast iron, or acrylic, each has its own paint manufactured specifically for touch ups on those surfaces. You really need to know what the tub is made of and then head to the home improvement center to purchase the correct touch up paint for it.

I have on old antique bath tub with a serial number on it. Where can I price its value?

I would try contacting an antique dealer in your area. They have books that tell you the going rate for these things.


I would NOT try selling it on eBay until you got a professional to give you a price.





I just found this great website with a lot of information on antique tubs:


http://www.the-home-improvement-web.com/鈥?/a>





It lists a couple of places to help identify, and price your tub:

I think I would still try an antique dealer in your area first. They can look it up, and probably won't charge you anything. If you don't get anywhere there, you can try those other places.I have on old antique bath tub with a serial number on it. Where can I price its value?
Im A plumber so here you go.


If your talking about a claw foot tub?


To price a old tub is not as easy as you might think.


Most tubs sold today are new and customers know this BUT%26gt;


Old tubs have alot of value in them.


I have takein out old tubs of houses and sold them for 2000.00 plus I even sold 1 for 7500.00


There are more people then you think that want old tubs and will pay the price for them.


You could try E-bay ^ with a reserved price (high amount) and see what hits.


Also your local plumbing supply places might know who is looking for 1.


Im not talking bout home depot or Lows I mean A plumbing supply place.


I wish I could help you more with this but you didnt give enough info on the unit. If you did I would be able to help you out more with this.


If you like you couuld e-mail me with the info @

On my bath tub the hot water handle well just trun what do i need to do to get the water to come out?

Sometimes there is a small set screw at the base of the handle that comes undone. Look to see if one exists and see if you can tighten it. Hope that helps.On my bath tub the hot water handle well just trun what do i need to do to get the water to come out?
Washingtonstreet probably hit it. It's a good chance the handle is stripped. You'll need to remove and replace it. There might be a trim piece in the center that hides an attaching screw as well as the set screw washington referred to. Worst case is the stem is broken or stripped. Thats a little more involved but doable. Check the handle first.On my bath tub the hot water handle well just trun what do i need to do to get the water to come out?
Tighten the center screw. It that doesn't work remove it and the handle %26amp; see which part is stripped. If it is the handle go to the hardware %26amp; buy a new one. Take the old with you.





If it is the stem of the faucet %26amp; you aren't handy call a plumber or a friend.





Good Luck.
Hire a plumber? Perhaps?
Handle or stem definately stripped. Pop the cap off (If it has one) with your fingernail or a flathead, unscrew the screw in the center. Remove the handle. Open the tap with pliers til you can get a replacement handle.

What can i use to add my daughters bath tub water to soften skin??

what can i add to my daughters6 yrs old) bath water while in tub? i tried baby oil but it just repels, and kind of remedy? also i noticed around her ball of foot and heel its abit dry, crack, what lotion or foot scrub can i use to help, please help this single dad with a special daughter :) thank you.What can i use to add my daughters bath tub water to soften skin??
johnson and johnsons soothing lavendar soap....and a touch of baby oil on the skin after to lock in moisture.What can i use to add my daughters bath tub water to soften skin??
Johnson %26amp; Johnson's Bathtime bubble bath. Located in the soap isle or baby products. Always keeps the skin soft and smooth. I'm 23 still using it and I have very smooth and soft skin.
I agree..... DEFINATELY Johnsons and Johnsons products. You can buy ointment in the chemist for the cracked and dry heel. Just ask at the counter for what is best. For GODS sake, DO NOT add cheap brand bath foams like ';BARBIES FOAM BATH'; to ure daughters bath. These are just cheap products that can have serious effects to young skin. Make sure to check the socks that ure daughter wears. Holes in the heels of socks can cause this as can the detergent you use to wash the socks in. Come to think of it, it sounds like ure daughter may be having an allergic reaction to the powder you wash her clothes in. ALWAYS buy Anti-biological detergent. Some detergents can irritate a childs skin as can the clothes softener you choose. Buy a good (not a cheap brand) of 2-in-1 detergent. I really feel this will work. If this fails, it may be a reaction certain types of food. You can save ureself being the detective by simply taking her to the doc for an allergy test. If the skin is peeling,its not good and the best and most appropriate solution is the allergy test. It bearly costs a thing and ure daughter is worth it...isnt she?


All the best mate and Merry Christmas to you both.
Immediately after drying her skin,apply Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula .It also has a nice chocolate smell.Avoid adding anything to the bathwater as it can cause irritation or infection in young children.
Use vitamin E and sorbolene cream if you can get it where you are. it is so gentle and will sort out any kind of skin dryness issues

My wedding ring just went down the bath tub how do i retrieve it?

Yep.. a plumber.My wedding ring just went down the bath tub how do i retrieve it?
1. don't use the tub until you get the ring


2. use a wet/dry vac set up for wet pick up.





You will probably have to remove the trip lever mechanism (two screws) and / or the stopper mechanism. Block one while you apply the vac hose to the other.





With respect to comments above often tub traps are not accessible without opening up the ceiling below.





This should get you what you want if the ring is still in the tub trap. If it is not there then it has gone further down the drain and the next (and last) place you can look for it is the house trap. That is a little ...tricky-er.My wedding ring just went down the bath tub how do i retrieve it?
I agree. You might be able to access the trap by yourself, and even get it off, but if you're not experienced, you may need a plumber to put everything back and get it leakproof, so you might as well call one now. And, if you can, -turn off the water- to the tub, so you don't accidentally run it. If you can't do that, at least block the drain.
You will need to take the plumbing apart in the basement or crawl space. There is a ';u'; piece where it's probably stuck. I wouldn't run any water in the tub until you can retrieve it. Once it gets past that part of the drain then it is probably gone. If it were me, I'd call a plumber and have them retrieve it asap.


I'd be in tears until I had it back on my finger.
It's in the trap below. Don't panic!! I have retrieved my wife's stuff before. Get a hanger or other long, slightly flexible wire, and attach something sticky to the end. Like bubblegum or anything stickier. If this doesn't work the trap below can be taken apart and removed. Your ring is in there. Good luck.
';IF'; you're lucky, it's in the trap, but for the most part if any water was running, it stands a good chance it's gone...





tell hubby to buy you a larger model so it won't fall past the drain opening!
Call a plumber ~ he will have to go beneath the tub and open up the pee trap and with any luck, your wedding ring will be lodged in there.
Call a plumber or wave goodbye.

Can i connect a jacazzui and heater bath tub to the same outlet?

Probibly wouldnt be very smart unless its an unregular outlet (more ampere, Volts)Can i connect a jacazzui and heater bath tub to the same outlet?
You will probably pop fuses. Try it out and see what happens. Are you going to be using both at the same time? How old is your Electrical system. Many questions here to give you a real answer. good luck though.Can i connect a jacazzui and heater bath tub to the same outlet?
Hazardous
First step is to find out how many amps your jacuzzi draws and whether it's 120 or 240 volts. Then determine the amps/voltage of the heater bath tub. If they aren't the same voltage, it won't work.





If they are the same voltage, add up the number of amps they draw. Then go down to your circuit breaker the outlet is attached to and determine the amount of amps that circuit can handle. Typically it will be displayed right on the switch. If the number of combined amps is 20% or less than the circuit break, great! If not, stop.





If still want to power both items from one outlet, you'll need to have a circuit breaker with enough amps to power it, house wire thick enough to carry the appropriate amps, and an outlet that can handle the same amps.
they would each need at least45 amp. coverage. 60 to 90 amp breaker might work. which is the norm for 240 applications.
Probably a bad idea, as this may overload the circuit. Best to get a qualified electrician to come in and properly wire these items.
The best thing to do would be to put each of the units on their own designated breakers, having both on would probably overload the circuit and trip the breaker.
Yeah, and then throw a clock radio in, if you're trying to commit the perfect murder.
