My daughter bought some metal framed garden furniture with removable fabric seat covers, the wood near edges of the fabric soon got showered on and started to get water stains. She wrongly assumed it was pre treated to repel water. She would like to treat the wood before it goes outside again...

Many thanks guys for solving this, looks like they are for this one https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/machi ... bin-sander They are 5.5 inches in dia and I was given 5 of them, I am guessing a full set was 6. Of no use to me so if anyone is in need of spares they can be yours for the cost of...

Its been a very long time since I posted here :oops: I have some discs that were given to me with various size holes in, some round some oval with indexing position holes all round them and I am ashamed to say I dont know what they are for, I feel I should know but cant quite remember...

Hi Robin, the door is correctly hung, outside is facing out, still have the sticker on the glass. I can I guess remove the quadrant from around the glass but im guessing glass removal may be very difficult in one bit as its got silicone or some sealant round the edge already. Looks like I will...

Hi, a long time since I was here! I bought a 2 panel (top one glazed) hardwood ext door some 3yrs ago and stored it in one of my sheds flat with 8x4 sheets on it so no twist. Fitted it recently and teak oiled as I really wanted to keep the wood rather than paint it. when it rains water is...

Pics as requested Alan, the guy cut the mitres freehand, tile in one hand, angle grinder in the other. The trick is to take off the material without breaking into the glazed edge too much if at all. Had him fit tile skirting near the patio doors.

I have been so busy with other stuff that I neglected to update this thread with the latest drama's. The wall tiles are now complete with extras around the window area. I had booked the tiler who did the new kitchen floor to do the dining area in the same tile, he was too busy so recommended...

Well after lots of visits to tile shops and pricing of glass, both backed and clear for splashbacks, wife found some tiles she really liked and by this time I had really had enough of playing options and just wanted it sorted. So we ordered the tiles and got the local tiler to fit them, not a...

Paul I take it you bought glass with pre drilled holes for mounting it? One of the reasons for painting the glass was to allow for silicone type fixing and sealing the edges. I did a little more fettling in the last few days, mounted her flip down tV bracket and attached her 16" tv/dvd Xmas...

I found a glass company close to me on Ebay with in house cnc cutting and the prices I have found from them for a plain splashback up to 1300mm x 750mm in 6mm toughened was £45 + delivery but Im close enough to collect. Upstand prices were also good in up to 1mtr x 250mm in 6mm toughened was £18...

You would need to glue down the drainer then, no space for the securing clips unless you go right through the wtop only where the clips go. You would also have no place for the toggle bolts to clamp the 2 sections together with.

A few months too late to comment on the build :wink: Its all sorted bar the final finishing touches. I do want to have the finish applied directly to the glass rather than sandwich something behind it so I dont get any steam/condensation in between and mainly to allow me ease of fitting using...

Anyone ever tried hand painting or spraying glass? I went looking for tiles yesterday and the ones we liked were few and far between, so I thought looking at the prices for plain against coloured splashbacks and upstands I would maybe go for plain toughened glass and paint it myself or get my...

If this is going to be a laminate worktop you may be best served by changing her mind. Laminate joints and water dont mix with best results I am told. If you do go with it extreme care with sealing the laminate will be called for I think.

Gas man came today and spent 30mins connecting the pipework I had already put in for the hob, thats £75 :cry: Wife used the hob for a lunch party with her friends and now doesnt want a stainless splashback after cleaning all the marks off the stainless hob. So its now down to leaving the...

Wife doesnt want tiles higher than the sockets ****. Cant say I am that keen on cutting tiles around them either :wink: I did mount them quite high so we could get two 4" tiles and an edge strip below them with a bit of spare room. Seems that both red and black trims are available btw.

I live at No 212 and I am exhausted!

Right its finishing touches time and I need some suggestions please. I cut down a 4mm sheet of laminate for a splashback, but cant make up my mind if it looks good or not, the alternative is 0.9mm stainless steel with folded edges on a 7mm MDF backing board. I intended to fit a 20mm stainless...

I can see me still "fettling" this new kitchen for some weeks yet, the plaster has now started cracking on 2 walls where the ceiling meets the wall, I think this is pretty usual stuff with houses with central heating but it does mean I will later be fitting coving around the walls to cover it up...

Very small update, double oven is in and working. Wife is pleased though the week I have waited (and still waiting) for the plumber to come and connect the gas pipe to the hob is spoiling the fun some. Dishwasher has been test run :wink: that works. The old kitchen sink unit has come out and...
