Thanks again I have some of these type already and they are not sturdy enough My ideal solution is the actual replacement of the ones that come with the shower bars, however for some reason I cannot communicate what the actual things are when I speak with people. Do shower bar...

thanks for the reply. the 785 stuff was actually just what I was looking at, but didn't fancy redoing the whole lot!! The covers, if you imagine are the cone type chrome fittings which on my shower bar cover holes that are made in the tiles to connect the hot and cold connectors on the bar...

maybe not the right place for this 1) I have small hole in the silicone in the corner of my shower tray. I know from past experience that its not always best to try and silicone on top of other sealant already in place, but I also don't want to pull it all up and reseal from scratch for...

Hi Any good tips for removing adhesive left on the wall when I have removed tiles? I am in the middle of re-tiling a bathroom

2 years old Does that come under a guarantee? I was more worried that its part of a much larger window and that I'd need to replace the whole thing?

Hi I have an upstairs double glazed unit where the internal pane has cracked the entire width I'm led to believe this is relatively common and something to do with expansion My insurance company tell this is wear and tear and not covered - (I was waiting to hear if in fact it was the...

Hi I have a Glow Worm 30Si boiler and a Mega Flo unvented system. All seems to be ok generally with the water and the heating, but the boiler loses pressure over a few weeks and goes from about 1 bar to 0.5 bar. There are no obvious leaks from the radiators or around the house. I have...
