Maybe a silly quesiton but I've got one of these shower mixers and it keeps popping off the wall, when you press the shower buttons, so water gets behind it. How can I get it to stay securely on the wall? (I'm thinking silicon it on but not sure it'll work...

Hi, So I'm currently abroad and my place is renated out on Airbnb. A guest messaged me last night to say there was a small water escape in the kitchen. I suspect one of the fittings has come undone. I have two quesitons. I know it's hard to tell, but looking at the photo do you suspect...

So I removed my Geberit Flush plate (to have a look behind) and now I cannot fit it back on. It doesn't seem to clip on anywhere. It's an Omega 20 model. Wonder if someone could advice me how to attach it? (I did find a manual online and it shows you attach it from the side, but that doesn't...

Hi, I had my garden made over a couple of years ago and had some bamboo planted. Some of it was planted directly into the soil and has grown very well. However I also had a raised planter created and it's hardly grown at all, even though it's rained lots recently and I've added fertiliser...

I've noticed my front door is sagging and you have to push it quite hard to shut. It looks like it's leaning slightly from right to left (see photos). I have three pencil hinges (I think they're called looking on google). Each can be adjusted by an allen key at the top and bottom. I tried...

I'm having a bit of a disaster with my wetroom. I've separated with the tradesperson who was doing the work after he bodged the tilling. The background. Underboarding the shower former was not an option as there were too many pipes there. Therefore we got a 'Tough-X' which can be placed...

Hello, I've recently had a plumber in to install a wetroom in. He did have some good reviews on a well known website and is gas safe registered. However I've gradually lost faith in his ability to do the job (after many moments of incompetence) so kicked him off the project. The chipboard...

Hi, I had a water leak which meant my existing chipboard floor was removed, along with the insolation and DPM over the beam and block floor. The chipboard wasn't screwed in the concrete and was always a little bouncy. When this is replaced by my insurer should I expect them to screw the...

Hi, I would like to tile my kitchen and put laminate down on my living room (currently lino and carpet). My floor is on a floating chipboard floor which is a little 'bouncy'. I was planning to remove all the chipboard floor and put down 18mm plywood. However another option is to overboard...

I'd like to remove this horrible electric fireplace from my house. First question, is it safe to do this myself or should I get an electrician in first to decommission it? (There is a switch which isolates power to it) Any general tips on removing it? (Seems pretty firmly stuck to the...

So I'm trying to remove my bedroom door handle which I'd like to replace. I've removed the face plate screws but can't disconnect the handles. I've looked under each handle and I see no allen key hole. Can someone point me in the right direction? Mark [/img]

I've laid some laminate flooring and realised the gap between the boards is quite close 8cm. (See photo). Will this cause a problem, should I take them up and make the gap bigger? Mark

Hi, We're re-fitting our kitchen and when we removed the tiles it took off the plasterboard which was dot and dabbed onto the walls behind them. At this point the holes have been filled with a bonding agent (on advice from a plasterer who told us it would be fine to tile over) I've...

Hi, Our shower seems to be struggling to heat water, especially now as the temperature outside is dropping. It will only heat to about 40'c max. Is there some kind of heating element inside which needs to be replaced? It's a Triton Topaz t100si Mark

Hi, Recently our Triton Topaz t100si shower started prodding low pressure when they temperature is about 40'c. If I turn the shower down to it's lowest setting about 30'c the pressure is very strong. Does this indicate the shower cannot heat the water fast enough to keep the pressure...

Hi, Just wanted a second opinion. For the last few month the 50amp ceiling switch has been left on, pulling the cord didn't work and I didn't get around o fixing it. This weekend I changed the Triton Display Thermistor & the Outlet Pipe from our Triton Topaz t100si shower (see this...

Hi, My Triton Topaz t100si has stopped displaying the temperature saying NC. After doing some research on here found it was the Triton Display Thermistor which probably needed replacing which I've now received. Looking inside the shower there is corrosion around the plate the Thermistor...

Hi, A couple of radiators are staying cold when the motorised valve is set to CH & DHW. If it’s set in the CH position the radiators heat to full heat. I’ve replaced the pump and had a power flush and all radiators have been bled. I have a three way Myson motorised valve (MPE322). It...

Hi, I'm going to replace a couple of rads which don't have bleed valves. I've bought the radiators and I think the holes are blocked currently but I don't see how to remove the caps. I did try an allen key but it doesn't seem to fit properly. What am I missing? Thanks in advance...
