I'm renovating my bathroom. Done a really good job, did everything right but absent mindedly put silicone around bath to meet tiles before grouting. I'm now considering whether to grout down to meet the silicone or if that will just leave a hairline crack where the two meet. I could grout and...

Hello All, I'm fitting a new bath and wanted to use flexi connectors for the taps. Only snag is, the system is gravity and it seems that 'full bore' flexi hose is actually about 14mm, not 22. If I use a flexi, do you think that will have a drastic effect on the pressure from the thermostatic...

I just moved into a new house and have a steel 'canopy' style up and over door on my garage. It is extremely heavy to open, doing none of the work for me. Once I manage to heave it up, it likes to try and fall on my head so I have to prop it open with a ladder. I can't see any evidence of...
