    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    Thanks Bernard. We (wrongly it now transpires) trusted that the people who were fitting the sink along with the worktop, would be fitting the sink in a secure manner. If it needed an extra mechanical support, they should have made sure of that. We thought that they would be clamping the sink...

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    On other point if someone could clarify. I have noticed that they didn't put any kind of silicone sealant around the edge of the worktop where it meets the walls. Is that something which should be done as standard by the fitters or would we have been expected to do that?

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    They are not aiming to fit any extra supports. They wanted to come to reglue the sink into place. The installers words, not mine. As for the fitting of the sink, the sink was given to them on the day, with whatever instructions came with it, as we were told that they would fit the sink. I have...

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    The kitchen is one which is designed and intended to be fitted by the customer. I have looked again at the assembly instructions for the base unit and we did assemble it correctly. As for the fitters, they said that they do only this type of work all the time. They were subcontracted by the...

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    The fitters are coming out again tomorrow but will again only glue the sink into place. The guy from the Quartz company responded to my email saying that we should have known to fit some kind of wooden support in place before the sink was installed by them. Said that every single person who fits...

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    I've taken out the drawers from underneath and can't access the sides of the sink to be able to put any kind of support. Duh, light bulb moment! I may be able to fix a bracket at the front and the back.

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    Thank you. That makes sense. The lip of the sink isn't wedged between the quartz and unit. It is just about resting on the edge by about 5mm on each side.

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    Thank you John. When you say 'jack' I could just somehow wedge it with something that will fit, and then attach some timber batons to wherever I can? I can't see any silicone so I could just apply a bead to the top edge before I wedge it?

    Undermount sink just unattached from Quartz worktop after 4 weeks.

    As the title says. DH was with the fitters and all they told him was to leave the wooden support baton in situ for 24 hours to set. We left it for 48 just to be on the safe side. The sink is just about being held up by the edges of the units underneath. When I contacted the installers, he...

    A different ikea dishwasher door problem!

    It looks to me as if the White plastic round nuts go into the channel on the top sides of the door. They do fit. And the other screw pictured with the White plastic looks as if it fits into the small channel at the bottom above the long channel. Again, it fits there.

    A different ikea dishwasher door problem!

    Thanks John. Will get photos later of both fittings and front of d/w. And yes, it is integrated. Forgot to mention that bit. The installation is not a problem as far as the plumbing and electric side of things. It's just the cover panel which is the problem.

    A different ikea dishwasher door problem!

    Hi all. I'm really hoping some of you clever people can help me. IKEA donated a load of ex-display appliances to a local charity shop and we bought some for our new kitchen. Unfortunately the Rengora dishwasher came with no fittings to be able to attach an IKEA cover panel. IKEA were unable...
