Our bath is moving ever so slightly and I've noticed this is because the original plumber did a cowboy job by drilling in screws. I've attached an image and looking for some clip which I can screw into the wood bit (the underside of the bath once I remove the side cover) and the other end into...

Yea it's a plasterboard. Some of the old cement was removed when removing the old tiles so I applied Polyfilla to cover that hole. So overall yes it's a plasterboard. The plasterboard was broken towards the bottom so I applied a wendiboard (or something) which is close to a hardibacker but...

The shower wall is bare and I wondered is there anything that should be applied around the shower tray, so before any tiles are applied the tray is fully sealed on the sides and edges to eliminate any water leak issues? Thanks

In our shower, the tray has been moved prior to tiling. This has left an 1 inch or so gap between the plasterboard and the shower tray. I thought to get some moisture resistant plasterboard from B&Q stick that and then Polyfilla it on top but they don't sell it in small pieces but an entire...

This one has reasonable reviews?? No Nonsense X8 Hybrid Sealant & Adhesive White 290ml

So we all know about the grease, temperature in a kitchen etc. I'm thinking about removing the old silicone from the windows and thinking about applying some silicone to the edges of the wall cabinet to give it a nicer finish (it's never had them before) after recent painting. Which would be a...

So if not B&Q then I've found Crown decorating centre which do Crown paint. Is the mould inhibiting scrubbable Matt a good one (about £40)? They have a lot of variations of white paint. Any you would recommend?

Thanks guys so the way I read it I should go for this white paint https://www.diy.com/departments/dulux-trade-white-vinyl-matt-emulsion-paint-10l/35971_BQ.prd Yes it is good as existing white ceiling which was painted several years ago but I have no idea with what paint it what quality it was...

What would be the correct white paint to select for a kitchen ceiling? I called B&Q who said any paint labelled with ceiling paint and when I went to B&Q asked their staff in person for them to point out which ceiling paint as they had loads, they said any with a bit of silk in as although it...

Just to reiterate in case I've misled anyone, the uneveness is just paint removed from a few areas on the wall. Maybe a mm or less so I was assuming one pass then sanding would be good enough as it's not that deep. I also assume that product I listed is easily applied and maybe not as thick as...

Is No Nonsense Fine Surface Filler White 600g from Screwfix a good product to use for this? The paint isn't very deep btw

Back again! I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or tricks for this issue. The kitchen wall was painted years ago. New tiles were then added. I've now removed these tiles and can see the tile glue has removed some of the paint leaving the wall paint uneven. I tried to sand it down but I can...

Could be.... Recently I needed to install a new shower tray which had stands on the existing one. At the time the plumber advised not to use the existing leg stands but to build a wood frame, place the new shower tray on that and he will silicone it off and install the shower tray. Silicone was...

I would have it done with isolated valves but no offence to plumbers, if it's a task which causes them extra work which they don't fancy, then they charge silly amounts just to swerve the customer towards their direction. You have to find someone with the correct skills and willingness IMO. Not...

When I spoke with the plumber he advised its situated behind the wall by the mixer taps as he had a similar setup with someone else in the area but he wouldn't undo it as it meant he would need to break the wall to see where it is and can't repatch it, so it meant finding someone else to do that...

Sorry didn't know you needed more info but: 1. I would guess into the wall as the only way I've managed to stop the water is by turning off the water from the mainly supply. 2. It's tiled age the existing shower is still there. 3. I'm not sure but can try and find out if the picture doesn't give...

Ok, do you have a link of these valves at all so I know what I'm looking for?

Were having our bathroom tiles replaced and one of the tasks is to remove the shower temporarily. I can't turn off the water for the shower only so the only way is to turn the water off completely then remove the shower. If I do this the water will start to run once the water turns back on so...

I completely understand where you're coming from! I can assure your they're closed. These ones move left to right (or opposite direction depending on how they've been fitted). So it's pretty easy to distinguish when they're closed or open. What I noticed was they have a small gap at the bottom...

All the windows have a trickle vent and every year mainly during the winter we have the same issue where we can hear mild noise but more importantly the heat escaping even though the vent is closed. I know the recommended advice is to leave them as is but I'm wondering if there is a better way...
