You don't need a steep fall anywhere. If you have a small fall from the shower tray and then a steep or small fall you are golden. You'd even be...
No problem with doing the ceiling first, but do the skirting boards and other woodwork before the walls, or at least the parts of the wall near...
Did exactly the same thing - painted over a yellowed gloss staircase with Dulux Satinwood. 1 coat of Zinsser Cover Stain and then the Dulux over...
Eh? It's simple: buy white paint and roller/brush, dip it in the paint and start painting. If you can't estimate how long that will take then I...

I'd suggest this as a pinned thread 1. The plumber asks you what you think the problem is. WARNING SIGN. I have several examples from personal...
