hi, I am installing aquapanel along a wall in my bathroom where two thirds of the wall will be a shower area and tiled and the other third will be painted with a towel rad. Can you paint directly onto aquapanel? Do you have to prime it or anything first? What is the best way to disguise the...

Also one more question when you overboarded aqua in the past I'm guessing that you did not bother trying to locate and fix into the noggins but just secured to the studs? The wall I'm fixing to has no noggins

What size screws would you use To go through the 12.5mm aqua and 12.5mm+3mm board and then into the stud?

Thanks for the quick reply. As my walls are pretty sound whatwould you do in my situation: overboard or to pull down and start afresh?

Hi, I am currently renovating my bathroom and will be having tiles on two of the walls, where a shower will sit in the corner and a bath along the same wall. The shower is going where the door currently is. We are planning on using 30x60x10mm porcelain tiles. Currently one of the walls is...

DJM - I know this post was a few years ago but did it the loctite/LSD work? How did you go about fixing? I have a similar problem with minute weep on a pipe.

It's a 1.5 composite sink above a 600 cupboard.

Yep have sealed the inside of the sink to stop that water getting into the worktop. Thanks so you don't think that I'll even need to use the two clips at that end then? I was contemplating drilling a hole into the side of the cupboard big enough to fit them into so they could poke through there...

Hi all, I am in the middle of doing up my kitchen and we had a carpenter come and fit the worktop this week and so I have to fit the sink tomorrow. Problem is the carpenter has not left a lip on the inside of the sink cupboard for me to fix the sink clips to. If anything the worktop ends and...

Hi Tony, Yes it was the gas valve solenoid that was at fault, as I mentioned the pilot was lighting and clicking on and off but the reason behind it turned out to be because the solenoid was not opening fully to let the gas through to the main burner. Thanks for your help with all the...

Ended up going around the houses with this one, my RGI replaced the ht leads at first to see if at solved the problem, which it didn't. He then concluded at it was the gas valve solenoid and replaced at a few days later. It was a bit trial and error as he did not want to replace something as...

Hi, Wonder if anyone could help. Bought a new washing machine last week but just realised that the old one is hot and cold feed and new one is cold only. Looked under the sink and problem is a self cutting tap has been used but this is an old type of tap which has the hot feed hose...

Thanks Tony, what were the ball park costs from the ones you have fixed or a range of cost?

Yes the same RGI came around to have a look but he said that there was nothing wrong with it and said that as long as it lights then there is no reason as to why I should be worried as sometimes the fans take a while to get going. Now the burners are not even igniting so i sense that he was...

Hi, About two weeks ago (in the coldest weekend of snow this year!) my fan decided to pack up on my Ideal Classic FF240 boiler. Had a RGI come around, install a new fan and service the boiler. Initially the problem was that the boiler will sometimes take up to one minute to fully ignite...
