Thanks for the reply but that won't work as they're made of some sort of composite material and the finished surface is one side only. The photo shows a slice through one of them. I'm pretty sure they're Marshalls but not sure exactly what type.

The surface on our patio slabs has worn out. Is there a way to bring them back to life or do we need to lay new slabs? They've been down for about 20 years.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Re-usable cloth bags it is.

Can anyone recommend an alternative bag for a DeWalt DXV20P 20 litre vacuum cleaner? Aside from the price, £16.98 for three (ouch!) they’re out of stock at Toolstation and have been for ages. The only other place I’ve seen them is at Machine Mart but before trekking over there I thought I’d...

So in the end I decided to go for the Midas 220. It's a good mixer/shower unit very solidly built and easy enough to fit. It gives a much nicer shower than our old electric one and the controls work well though it's a little confusing at first because to turn on the shower you have to twist the...

Thanks for the reply. We have a combi boiler system (Vaillant Ecotec +832). I’ve just checked the water pressure at the feed of our old electric shower and it’s 2 bar. I guess this means either the 100 or 200 will do. Which brings me back to the fact that it’s difficult to justify £100 extra...

Hi I have a couple of questions that I’d appreciate some advice on. 1) My Mira Sprint electric shower has packed up yet again. Rather than replace it a 4th time I’m considering swapping out the bath mixer tap for a deck mounted thermostatic mixer unit. The Aqualisa Midas 100 & 200 seem to be...

Thanks for your help, I was a bit suspicious of the need to place an order so quickly.

Hi I've just received a quote for a Vaillant Eco TEC plus 832. I was told that there's a 10 year warranty on this at present but the deal runs out on Feb 29th. I just wanted to check if this was the case or not. Thanks for reading.
