Hi all, So got an Orchard 1400 x 800 stone resin anti-slip shower tray. If anyone knows the brand it has 9 nylon screws that you use to level the tray, but the instructions states it needs to be laid directly onto marine ply (not floorboards) or a concrete floor. Now, it’s my in en suite and I...

Actually I didn’t repair the wire. I checked it and the solder seal was solid. I basically cleaned everything and almost soaked the whole thing in contact cleaner, left it a day, put it back together and everything worked a charm. Now that I have a new one which is constantly in use whilst...

Because I repaired it in the same way that they would. The guy in the shop (generic tool shop, but an authorised DeWalt repair centre) actually told me what to do. And it worked a great, until it started cutting out again. Didn’t really have the time to drive to the shop and then wait a few...

Further update to above. The very same damned day, the problem came back. So I bought a new one .

I did mention in my OP that I’m using LVT.

Lol, now why didn’t think of that?! Good idea But that won’t make good the unlevel floor. 10mm drop over 1.67m is quite a hill imo. By levelling the entire floor I have a blank canvas that’s new and smooth enough for LVT. I would think/hope that flexible and fibre reinforced SLC like the mapei...

Update on this, in case anyone else has the same issue….. I took it apart, blasted it with a compressed air can to remove excess dust and gunk, sprayed it to hell with WD-40 contact cleaner, let it dry for 24 hours, put it back together, and……? It’s like new, works perfectly Thanks for all your...

Hi all, so maybe not the usual question everyone asks…. I’m levelling my 6sqm en suite as it has a 10mm run off from one end to the other. It consists of bare floorboards that’s “mostly” covered in well screwed down 6mm ply. However where my 1400x800 shower tray will go, I’m removing the...

Thanks, yes I saw those the other day. That might be the better, less ambiguous option as we know shaver sockets are ok as long as in the correct zone.

Because that’s not what I want to do. I’m completely re-doing the en-suite and wanted to put the chargers in there if I can. They need recharging once a week. Yes we could continue to charge from the bedroom as and when, but that’s not the point.

Hi, Is it legal to install a 1g faceplate with 2xUSB sockets into an en suite? They are purely to charge our oral B electric toothbrushes as we have USB induction chargers that only require 5mA. There will be no mains sockets anywhere, I’d basically have a standard 1g power socket with twin USB...

Lol, perfect and simple. Perfectly simple, thanks guys. Dunno why I didn’t think of that, but hey…..that’s what this forum is for. cheers :D

Hi, hoping for some quick advice here. I’m tiling the bottom half of a wall with a doorway in it. Usually if it were a plain wall, it would be flat and you’d simply tile onto the wall with the trim on top and you effectively have 2 different levels. But how do I go about it when I then have to...

I've just found a video on youtube that seems to indicate the same issue i'm having and having just spoken to a local dealt repair centre they pretty much said similar to the video (without me even mentioning it). So it'll cost me £25 for them to repair, or nothig if they can't. In which case...

lol thanks bud. The irony is after trashing mine (well I think he did) my brother went and bought his own! Might just have to buy another one and let my mate take the dodgy one apart. He loves doing that to DeWalt tools for some reason.
