Lovely. Thanks for the reply.

I've just finished painting my daughter's bedroom. While I was painting the skirting boards I managed to get a bit of the paint (Dulux Satinwood) on the emulsioned walls. Am I okay to just paint over it with a bit of emulsion, or should I try and sand the gloss off first? Many thanks in advance.

You've shamed me!! I've just swapped the bracket round. I just hope it doesn't leak now!!!

Top tip Terence!! :-) What I will say is that the rad is fitted to the wall that the bedroom door opens onto, so you won't see the narrow end of the radiator most of the time as the door will be against it. I'm tempted to change it but the fact that the rest of the job went without a hitch is...

Lovely, thanks mate. It's not really that bad but I'm very self critical so want to avoid it in future.

Sorry mate, I wouldn't have a clue how to upload a photo. It's cracking in the corner where the door frame meets the wall (the door frame is really tight against the wall). Could it be because I inadvertently got some gloss on the wall and painted over it when I painted the walls? Both the door...

Thanks mate but there's no lining paper, just painted plaster walls.

Hello all. I painted my kitchen walls back in February but I've recently noticed a few cracks in the paint (mainly in corners). The paint is lifting slightly along the cracks, but not flaking. The cracks are no more than 2 inches long. Any ideas as to why this has happened so that I can...
