    Recurring shower valve issue

    Hi, we have a Mira Vier digital shower, fed off a mains pressure hot water tank. Last year it developed a fault where it would only deliver hot water (no matter what the temp control was set to), and then would error out with an 'over-hot' code. It could be fixed by turning it on and off at the...

    Help fixing leaking tap

    Hi, I've attached a picture of a bathroom tap. I've taken the handle off, and it's easy to see that when it's turned on (it's a twist & lift style tap), water leaks into the top & eventually drips over the sides. The problem is how I stop this!

    How to get shower side panel to fit

    Hi, We've got a shower tray that was fitted with a riser kit, and has a PVC side panel. The original panel had cracked, so I bought a new one of the same height as the original (95mm). However I can't get it to fit in - it's just a bit too tall, even when I take the lino up. I suspect that's...

    Broken microwave - self-repair?

    Boiler pump running continuously

    Hi, I wondered if anyone had any advice for this problem. Our boiler has worked fine for the last couple of years. However for the last 3 days, when the heating goes off at night, the pump carries on running. The boiler itself is off - there's a display showing the water temp, and the...

    Hotpoint Wf541 - New Door Interlock Re-Broken After 1 Wash

    Hi, I have a hotpoint WF541 washing machine, and halfway through a cycle the 'door locked' light started flashing, the cycle stopped, and the only way to get the door open was to turn it off at the mains for a few minutes. If I tried to start a new cycle the 'wash' light came on and the door...

    Help deciphering builders quotes for rendering

    Hi, I wondered if anyone could help me decipher 2 builders quotes we've had for some rendering work. We have an old victorian house with cracked rendering - we've had 2 quotes that vary quite a lot in price. I'd like to know if they are quoting for the same thing or not, but don't understand...
