Hi, my daughter pulled the tap handle up, which I believe to be our Vado Photon mixer tap. Does anyone know if you can replace the handle, does it just push on, or would it have been fixed on? Part of the housing on the handle is snapped, I think if i gled it back on, it wouldn't just keep...

Hi, we had a new shower unit fitted about 5-6 months ago. The seal (or what ever it's classed as) keeps coming out as you can see in the pics. the one on the left doesn't do it, but the one on the right does. I can pop it back in but after about a week, you see it just staring to come out again...

Hi, we have a potterton promax ultra boiler and I often hear a pinging sound from it, when I don't it, it's like contestant every few secs. This is only when the heating has been turned on, and after a while it seems to settle and stop. The pressure is fine at about 1.8 and they're are no...

Thanks for that, so in general, the next time the heat it on, if I look at the return temp, if it's around 45c or less or will be in condensing mode and set up pretty well to also save money?

Guy has been out, there was no pressure in the EV, so he's sorted that. He said there's no sure way to know there's not a very slow leak in some way, so if in weeks / months it does t again, we will look at replacing the EV. He did test the pressure in the EV after about 20 mins, and it was...

Yes that is my boiler, there is a plumber coming soon to look at it today.

We have 11 radiators and 3 towel rails. This exact scenario happened this time last year, and the expansion vessel was mentioned back then. The guy that come out to look at it said it was fine though, I think he set my radiator temp a bit lower though before he left, but i wanted them at around...

Hi, Does anyone know if the Potterton Promax Ultra 40 Boiler have a filter to release water, if the pressure it too high? Or do I just have to release some from a radiator? On using it again for the first time this year for heat, the same thing has happened that happened last year. Basically...

Hi, our shower room is around 3m x 2.5m. We always suffered with a lot of steam anyway, but after recently getting a new shower unit installed, it's now gone worse My partner does take longer in the shower, so I know that's the cause, but that's not going to stop lol So I am looking to see if...

Hi, hope this isn't a stupid question. I have the Milano Nero - Corner Walk-In Shower Enclosure with Tray. The tray has what looks like the same waste as in this link: 90mm shower waste I have highlighted in yellow the part G which sits in the shower tray, like a cup before you put the main...

Thanks for the replies. The tray is 1200x900

Hi, we recently got a new shower enclosure. Straight away there was an issue with some water getting through the bottom of the glass flap with the supplied shower seal. This led me to getting a longer shower seal, which has helped a lot. Only a little bit is getting through now (not that much to...

Thanks for the replies, it's the rail in this link: Rail support arm I need to just take 2-3mm off, do you think a file set would be fine and cheapest option for that? Or if i bought a cheap angle grinder, what type of disc would be best? i don't have a vice, so would some sort of abrasive one...

Hi, I have a rail that I need about 2-3mm cutting off, and I'm finding really difficult to be that precise with a hacksaw and don't own an electric one. I know b&q have a wood cutting service but does anyone know if they will cut metal as well? And if not ate there any other stores that would...

Hi, we have recently had a new shower enclosure and tray fitted, I called the plumber who fitted it out today to fix a couple of leaks, which he sorted. The one I showed him by the bottom of the door (in one pic you can see the gap I have highlighted) he said wasn't something he could fix and...
