    Is that an easy job? Sink Drain replacement?

    Thanks so much for all the information shared, everybody - really appreciate. Hopefully will be able to access the back and do what is needed without removing the sink - otherwise, will get a plumber to do it as long as it does not charge me a fortune for this. Nothing urgent, as purely...

    Is that an easy job? Sink Drain replacement?

    A couple of additional pics to answer the first question. I believe that is a basin. Access to the back is fairly restricted. So if I can get the waste out, then all good to get it replaced, if unable to remove the waste out, then plumber job? correct?

    Is that an easy job? Sink Drain replacement?

    To DIY Experts and Plumbers, So the bathroom sink drain is getting tired as you can see from the picture. Is that an easy job, or would it be more like a plumber's job? It seems you might be able to find a replacement part easily (as long as the correct size), however, is the job quite...

    Hello Expert Decorators So work has progressed, and we are close to finishing. We have painted the top of the banister the same blue as on the wall, which is water-based. And in order to make it more durable, we wanted to varnish it. Was looking at the varnish option and realised that there...

    Front Door - External Painting

    Hey John, I've included the additional pictures as requested, which I believe show the joint cracked. I guess the cracks come from the joints?

    Front Door - External Painting

    Thanks for the feedback - I was planning for gloss and thought that Satin was a no-go for exterior - I guess something to explore. Love the colour idea - was initially thinking to keep it white, but I guess we could be more creative and go for colour instead of the classic white.

    Light switch plate (Box not deep enought)

    So we try with that box https://www.electricalcounter.co.uk/bg-electrical-817-g-moulded-grey-round-edge-1-gang-10mm-square-spacer?srsltid=AfmBOoq7ZbgCKwx-KGl-CGbdefF_5N6mGloz3rDL-T0zDb3_oWPpQIngRFs and it does the job partially (as it is a bit bulky) and a 5mm spacer would be much better than a...

    Light switch plate (Box not deep enought)

    Hello Expert, so we have replaced a light switch and sadly, the box in the wall is not deep enough. What would be your recommendations? Was thinking maybe some kind of cover to put behind the plate? but unsure that exist?
