Hello guys, I have a few queries. I'm hoping you might be able to help me with the ones you have experience of please. Ok...
1) how can I cap off the sink and toilet to redecorate behind? One key problem is that the sink is pinned to the wall and so I want to patch the wall without fixing it back, but still be able to use it until we can get a plumber... Note getting any trade is a nightmare right now. Is it possible to still use the sink and toilet when taken away from the walls?
2) how can you get broken nails out of a solid plaster wall the paint over?
3) when the previous owner installed an electric shower they destroyed the plasterwall below the bath to run the pipe. This meant the tiles weren't secure and so the seal leaked over the bath. How can I repair the wall below strong enough for us to secure the tiles again?
4) what can I do/material to use to repair the plaster around the sink drain pipe and the refuse pipe from the toilet?
5) when is it best to put the new lino down? . Before the new toilet and sink goes in?
6) we have curved walls in the bathroom and looks like grout has been used to bodge... Any recommendations on fixing this better?
7) How can I best secure a new towel rail to a hollow plaster wall? And does the bathroom rad have to have the correct BTU because it's a big bathroom as it was an old bedroom?
8) what is the best way to repair plaster where the holes are too big to repair using polyfiller?
