I replaced some tiles and stuck them down and re-grouted with "fix and grout" that comes in a tube. It acts as adhesive and grout.I did this a week before Christmas and already cracks in the grout are showing as if shrinking. Do I just keep re-filling/skimming or is this type of grout in a tube...
Can I go over the top of the sealant there with Dow Corning 785 for a temp quick fix before I rip it all out in the next few weeks ? This is so we can still use the shower,
It's a bit soft and spongy the very top layer but further back seems ok. I will have to get the bath out for further inspection. It's happened in the last few weeks as we have been without a shower for a long time until we had a new one installed.
Not sure what you mean by "water hammer"...
Thanks Jon. It's something I need to do but after Christmas I think. The whole bathroom tiles need to come off too but one step at a time. Will keep the bath but new taps will make it look good again. Some of those pipes under the bath cannot be removed as they are central heating. Also, would...
Ok, this is a messy job as we inherited it from the previous owners (he thought himself a top DIY/Builder) Had a new shower installed a few weeks ago but by chance I was looking under the bath to see how I could patch up the flooring (the bathroom gets very draughty) and I can see part of the...
Because when we get warm enough we can turn it off from the room we are in rather than getting up and re-setting the small back timer slots to on and off so boiler isn't constantly on.

Is there any way...
Since the winds last night our digital box cannot get any channels with 0% signal. All cables are still plugged in the box indoors, the ariel is still in the same position and as far as I can see from the ground the cable is still attached. We have been having problems with the signal breaking...
Thanks. Any particular one as they have loads to choose on their website ?

I have tried unibond all purpose sealant a few times with the same result. Shrinking, black mold and cracking.
Can anyone please advise the best material that will avoid all these pitfalls please for the kitchen sink ?
