Thanks for that, things are looking up. As you can see the damage is on the end that butts onto the wall and is in the least noticeable place. The flattening of the shaped edge is almost imperceptible (it seems to have swollen out since the damage was done. I cant cut the end off as it has...

I'm sorry, skyblue, I'd like to post a picture but I cant follow the instructions for posting an image. Send it to the administrator? Put the image somewhere on an accessable web server? and send the address to the administrator? I'm confused. Is it just me? :? Probably

Thank for the advice gentlemen. Although I didn't think £60+ was all that cheap :shock: Never mind I'll just have to be more careful next time :oops:

Hi I'm in the process of fitting a melamine covered worktop in the bathroom. Its cut to length and there is some damage to the front contour at one end (caused by me I'm pretty sure when it was bashed on the floor) There is only the smallest indentation which would be hardly noticeable...

Righto thank you

Hi I'm fitting an elbow onto an existing 110mm grey pipe in an accessible but slightly awkward place behind the lav. I'm having a problem actually getting the seal in the female elbow joint over the rim of the existing pipe to get a start (I've chamfered the outside edge). The chap in the...

I am installing a new shower enclosure and intend to use aquapanel to replace the damaged plaserboard (after removing existing tiles). It is a modern house and the partition walls of the bathroom appear to be constructed of thick rigid sheets of plasterboard with no apparent battens and with...

Thanks Chris. I did the search. It's been thought provoking. I think I'll retire now before I hear from PEDANTICVINDICTIVEMAN.

Thanks a lot guys. It sounds easy the way you put it, but if my previous experiences are anything to go by, I should be wearing oilskins in any case. :)

I have seen suggestions in the forum to seal off the flow from the header tank to avoid draining the system in order to work on a radiator. What do you use to do this and how much water is likely to escape from a microbore system initially when a joint is broken in this situation.

sure. standard ES lampholder

ok. Thanks Felix. So in the worst scenario, the light could develop a fault which is not isolated by an ordinary light switch and has to be disconnected to restore house lighting. The current light is the old fashioned sturdy kind designed to be practically impervious to weather (not...

I was about to change an outside wall light on my daughers house, when I notice at the top of the fitting instructions, a box which says "Do not wire these lanterns into the lighting circuit. Use a switched fused spur." The existing light is connected to the lighting cct. There is nothing...
