Should the paint be just thinner with water? and how thin?

The top half of our house is painted but its peeling a little at the edges and needs renewing, my husband was going to wire brush the loose bits and then repaint with something like sandtex paint, will this be ok?

I don't know the thickness of the Trojan but I have read that its not the thickness of the acrylic but whether it is reinforced or cast acrylic that means it is rigid.

I've seen advertised a reinforced lucite 6mm acrylic shower bath on ebay, it says its is a 6mm acrylic bath with an 18mm encapsulated base board. Does this sound like a good one? or for about £100 more the same company can offer me a Trojan cast acrylic shower bath, which should I choose?

Can anyone recommend a good shower bath for a budget of £400? any suggestions gratefully recieved.

Can anyone recommend the Trojan concept shower bath? Are Trojan a good make to go with? they all seem to have a 25year warranty which is reassuring is it not?

Has anyone used BPS Direct?

Are Trojan a recommended brand? are they good quality baths and have a good warranty?

The old bath touches both walls, one is the outside brick wall, the other a stud wall. Its tiled to the bath at the moment but we plan to retile and want an acrylic shower bath.

Yes its 5ft 6" so are you saying a 1700mm will be fine? (you can tell I'm female can't you!)

But I can see each end clearly and measure without any problem, also I have seen 1675mm baths on the net.

We intend replacing our bath which is 1675mm but a lot are advertised as 1700, will I need to shop around for a 1675mm or do 1700mm actually come as 1675mm?

Is there such a thing as a poor quality toilet? Makro have one advertised for £49.99 and matcing basin for £34.99, they look ok in the brochure but is there something I should look for when choosing a toilet and basin?

we plan on refitting our bathroom and want a shower bath, the ones I've seen are 5mm acrylic, would you recommend this thickness? I have seen a couple that are 8mm but twice the price. We just don't want the bath to move when we are in it as we have experienced this in the past.

At the moment we have just a simple mixer tap to fill our bath but want to renovate the bathroom and put in a themostatic mixer shower tap. We have chosen to get one of these as we don't fancy running pipes up the stud wall which isn't very thick yet we would like a shower. We have a combi...
