    toilet fixings sheared and seized

    I`ve thought about that, but was n`t sure it would be strong enough to hold it. It`s the only toilet in the house and with 4 people living here someone would surely want the toilet before the silicon went off

    Imprinted driveway paint question ?

    You don`t paint it, the colour is in the concrete, jetwash the area, let it dry and then use a sweeping brush to apply the sealer, it`ll come up like new http://www.adsealcontracts.co.uk/AdSeal-Super-for-block-paving-and-imprinted-concrete.html

    What to do here?

    So a good blob of mortar would be ok in there then? Should I use silicone to seal the inside of the door frame as well, or will builders caulk suffice?
