He's a plumber. He fitted a new bath and didn't touch the overhead shower or shower pump. He drained down the cold water cylinder in the loft as well as the hot water tank as the bath didn't have any valves on the pipes to shut off the feed. Could it be an airlock?

Hi All, We've just had a new bath fitted. We have a shower above the bath fed via a pump on its own mixer valve. Today was the first day of trying to have a shower. The water was way too hot and when trying to turn the temp down the pressure also dropped, eventually stopping the water flow the...

It is for wood and is flexible @Wayners

Hi All, I have 4 x 40cm x 40cm tiles to go back down in our bathroom as we had a leak from the bath and I've replaced a couple of rotten floorboards. All the tiles have been put down 30 years ago directly on to floorboards using flexible adhesive. As I've not mixed up powered adhesive before am...

I want 4 x downlighters which I've already bought. But thanks for your reply.

Hi All, Below is a sketch of our bathroom. We've just had the ceiling replastered and the 3 downlights removed and the holes filled in. What I'm looking for is advice as to where to install 4 new downlights please. You should see from the sketch that the vanity unit above has lights so that...

Thanks again @Wayners . I'll look for a Leyland Smart Matt.

What tape do you prefer @Wayners ?

Thanks again @Wayners but I won't be re-grouting the wall tiles. Just the floor. Should I just use frog tape on the walls and be careful?

Thanks @Wayners . I won't be using such a big roller though! Talking of which, any recommended brand of roller?

Hi All, What brand of white matt emulsion would you professionals recommend for use on ceilings and satin / eggshell on woodwork (assume it's all water based)? Cheers Daz

Hi All, I'm removing the old grey grout from my bathroom floor as I'm relaying some tiles which became loose plus some grout over the years has gone. I'm replacing it with a shade of dark grey which is a little darker than the original one. I have floor to ceiling wall tiles which are grouted...

Hi All, I have an integrated Blomberg heat pump tumble dryer model LTIP07310 which is 3 months out of warranty. It was working fine until the other day when it simply died. No lights on the display, nothing. I checked the fuse and that was fine. I confirmed mains 240v was running into the...
