• Punch - to remove concrete plinths, if any, and the old tile from the walls, and floor.In the future, it will need to drill holes.
• Gas key - will need for loosening and tightening the threaded connections during removal and installation of sinks, toilets and pipes.
• brushes and rollers - for applying primers and brushable waterproofing materials.
• toothed trowel - for applying the adhesive to the tile surface.
• If metal pipes will be changed to plastic, you will need to prepare the machine for their welding and a special cutter.

Dismantling of old plumbing devices

When will be on hand all the necessary tools, you can begin to work on dismantling.

• first step to be taken, will overlap with cold and hot water from a central water pipe system.Cranes must be completely closed.

necessary to consider the point that, if during the repair of the family is not going to leave the apartment, without the toilet to do is very difficult, so shoot it is recommended in the last instance, and removal spending temporarily, only for the daily conduct of work,and then install and connect to the sewer back.This process is repeated as long as no repair to be completed, and a new toilet is installed in place of the old one.Troublesome, but nothing helped.

can do otherwise - not touch the toilet until until comes time to replace the pipe.True, all well have to go back to the first option - for one day to do all the operations are unlikely to succeed .

Sink Removing

- After ka to to vartira will off from the water supply system, you need to open all the taps and make sure that the water in the pipes is left.In addition, the need to drain the tank of the toilet, otherwise it can all would be on the floor.

- Sinks mounted on brackets, fixed on the wall.Some of the models have a decorative pedestal, which closes the drain to the sewer construction and water supply pipes.Optional pedestal serves as a support for the cup.Therefore, dismantling shells begin with removal of this particular element.The pedestal must be fastened to the floor, so the first thing to do is unscrew the mount.

- Furthermore, under the sink con water tank, as when removing a siphon its amount can spilled on the floor.

- err, you can curl up with a glass siphon cumulative, and it accumulated in water is drained into the prepared container .After that, the glass-settler can be again set in place, as will be dismantled entire drain system.To do this, unscrew the nut, ustanovlenanuyu bottom shell, with the help of which held siphon and drain pipe.Unscrew the nut easily manually if it turn out counterclockwise, supporting a glass siphon.

- Next, the siphon tube is removed from the segment to which it is installed, together with a hose, water dispersion in the sewer drain.Then, all disabled system from the shell is removed from the socket sewer.The hole in the socket sewer pipes need to close the lid or plug cloth, rolled a gag - to on displaced by not spread an unpleasant smell of sewage.

- The next stage of water supply hoses are disconnected, supplying water to the mixer.For dismantling need to use gas or adjustable wrench (in some cases more convenient to use a set of carob keys - usually all plumbing connections in the bathroom or the toilet - range from 19 to 30 ).

- then sink can be removed.If you plan to install after the repair the same bowl with the same mixer, then it is left bolted to the bowl, and with it carried out of the toilet facilities.

- Now it is possible to remove the toilet outlet "corrugation" (or other connecting tube) that goes down the drain.Her removed from the bowl and pulled out of the socket sewer pipes.This element of the system is recommended to immediately throw away, and set a new toilet for installation.

- The next step is removal of the toilet.To do this, be turned out of the holes bolts (sometimes - the bolts or studs), which he was fixed to the floor.Anchorages unscrewed with a wrench or screwdriver , depending on the type of fasteners.

- If you previously installed the toilet without the use of cement , only with screws and sealant, it is necessary to try to shake it gently and remove from the place.If it is installed on a concrete solution, it is not so easy to knock him from the place, and in this case, 99 times out of 100 without replacing the toilet in the new is not enough.Old that. likely, das reflux reschinu or split, immediately sent to the scrap.

- If you plan to install after the repair successfully filmed on the toilet seat, it is temporarily taken out of the room bathrooms, so it does not interfere in the work.

Surface cleaning of old coatings

Whichever finishing material for the walls and the floor is chosen, the old paint must be removed, as during his many years of service is certainly steeped in a variety of scents, which can stay in the room and afterrepair, which is highly undesirable.

The second reason that the surface must be cleaned - e that the , that the walls can not be qualitatively primed and means , decorative trim or adhesive her not be enough adhesion the wall.Finishing material will begin to flake off over time, and have again to make repairs.

• Old ceramic tile is convenient to shoot perforator installing chisel-blade flat shape.

• Painted walls can be cleaned using a hairdryer and a building with a spatula or by polishers with round metal brush .

• If the wall plaster was applied earlier, it first soaked with water and then removed using a spatula thickened ( having a thickness of 2.5÷ 3 mm).

• wallpaper from the walls to remove the easiest way - they just like plaster, wet and need leave for a while, then re-moisturize and spatula to remove from surfaces.

Primer and waterproofing

After cleaning the walls and floor, take out the garbage, and then all surfaces Neaten brush , and finally dust is better to collect a powerful vacuum cleaner.

• Next, you need to cover the surface of the antiseptic primer deep penetration, which will create excellent adhesion (adhesion) to be applied to the materials and preserve them from the walls of mold colonies.The primer is applied at least twice, and second time - only after the complete drying of the first.

• After drying primer can move on to the floor waterproofing.Since the toilet are engineering communications - sewerage and running water, no one can rule out a variety of emergency situations.To avoid the risk of water leakage on the lower floors, high-quality waterproofing in the toilet, as well as in the bathroom, just needed.

Replace better metal pipes with plastic or metal and plastic.But the first thing removed old.They have cut sander - then they can be twisted together using a pipe wrench.Only after dismantling the old wiring to the place it entry into the apartment, new materials will be installed a new, installed on the same or different, more convenient location.

If there is no concept of how to do this correctly, it is better to invite a specialist task.He will make the installation wiring diagram of all, given the location of the water meter , overlapping water taps and connections established with the riser pipe.
