I want to remove the fixed glass panel from this shower cubicle screen. The reason being to clean the unsightly mould between the glass and metal frame behind it. Whoever fitted it didn't think to seal between the glass and frame, so soapy water gets in and sits and goes mouldy. I thought by...

How much dismantling required?

I've tried all the filter and drain hose fixes avaliable online, but no joy. Any other advice to fix the E36 problem?

Thanks. I'll give it a go.

Why is it doing that?

My combi boiler is a Vokera Easi-Heat Plus. It's losing pressure when the heating is on but not when running hot water. The pressure drop doesn't affect the heating, ie the rads warm up and stay warm. I simply top up the pressure each time. What's the mostly likely cause of the pressure drop...

Yea it drains normally then stops at the level shown in the photo.

I don't fully understand this. What's the purpose of taping the overflow and what's the sponge if the overflow is sealed off?

What are the most likely causes of water remaining in the plug hole after the bath has drained and how to fix? This is a bath in a rented place and the recently replaced bath panel has been completely sealed with silicone, so looking for possible fixes that don't involve taking it off. The...

Thanks for the feedback. I can't afford to replace it just now, so I've had to bodge it more than the fitter. I'll make sure I get someone who knows what they are doing though, when I get round to replacing it.

Thought as much. My guess is it's a Howdens worktop because the kitchen appliances are from there. It was fitted about 6 or 7 years ago. Long before I moved in. I doubt they'll still be making it, so might have to replace the whole lot.

Hi. Are the any fixes for a swollen kitchen worktop? It's very close to the sink, as you can see from the photos, so keeping further water out is going to be very difficult. Could I cut out some of the core, apply sealant and clamp it down?

I'll let you know how it goes.

You're correct about the 3 T&E. The second switch is at the other end of the hallway. So I simply replace this switch with a 2-gang and wire as you've shown, with the other end of the new T&E running to the new wall mounted lamp. Correct?

Apologies for the lengthy delay. I posted this on behalf of my son and have only just got the wiring photo. It turns out the switch is actually a 2-way one. What can I do to take a feed from this and control a new wall mounted light?

I have a one-gang one-way light switch that controls my hall ceiling light. Can i replace it with a 2-gang switch with the second switch operating a wall light? What would the wiring be?

The existing one that's kinked looks like a 300mm one, which is why I thought 200mm would be better.

I need to replace a flexible connector on my son's toilet. A plumber (or so they claimed to be) removed a section of leaking copper pipe and replaced it with a poorly fitted flexible hose. The cistern is filling really slowly and it's because of a kink in the pipe. See photo. I've got...

Thanks. I've started doing this.

Any tips on how remove these annoying bubbles from freshly emulsioned wall?
