Well the tenants are reporting the bath moving a bit and having to re-seal so yes they seem to think the silicone seal is an issue

thanks if the bath itself is in good condition I was hoping not to need a new bath. Anyway my question is more about whether wooden frames for bath or panels are needed or if something else works - it's a bathroom, it's bound to be moist, wood doesnt seem like the best material to use...

thanks, yes i know once bath is taken out, will need to not only remove existing wood frame but check the floor and see if ok or if needs replacing. fingers crossed the damp has only been because water getting down through the sealant [due to bath moving] and not anything else but once bath...

Hi there Does anybody have experience of supporting a bath but without using a wooden frame? Any recommendations? My tenants' bath has a wood frame and it seems to have got mouldy and unstable [see messages below], so I wondered if there is something better than replacing with new wooden...

Hi there I have heating controls for my baxi duo tec boiler, the controller is a Salus RT501rf Recently the boiler seems to be coming on of its own accord, not due to the RT501RF which seems to be working fine [it turns the boiler on if manual set a temperate above the current temperature...

Hi there Any recommendations to fix this damage in a tile apart from ripping tile out and replacing? Are there any tile repair kits you'd recommend? I don't need it to be perfect/invisible just not so obviously noticeable, and waterproof. thanks in anticipation Best

I don't think your question is about this thread

Vaillant ecofit pure 825. So basically if part of the boiler fails so gases are wrongly going through the boiler condensate trap and boiler condensate trap also fails by going dry, putting the outflow on the other side of the water trap in the sink stops the gases going into the property via the...

Hi all the experts out there I have just received an annual landlords gas safety record, no warnings or defects recorded. Vaillant boiler Ecofit Pure 825 installed around 2-3 years ago before I bought the property. However there is a comment that the Condense waste should enter drainage after...

yes whole room is being redecorated [new extractor fan done, floor tiles just been done, a new tap and painting to be done]. Any advice on the actual repair to chip please? [I know will need cleaning first]

Hi everyone/the experts here I have a small chip in a kitchen worktop - see photo. I'd be grateful for advice on how to repair - what products you'd recommend to use etc. Rest of worktop is fine so seems silly to replace rather than repair I think so long as it's something slightly darker it...

Thanks I can't see where the holes were at moment (scaffolding in way) but roofer did give a couple of options said was same price, one was covering (not the painted bit) with plastic capping which gets screwed in said he'd recommend that as less long term maintenance. We did also have another...

Stevie88 thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. I dont have before photos of the roof [do have some of the fascia/soffits which showed peeling paint [and a couple of holes]- i saw them scraping this off off and it's now painted as shown in photos, so "hopefully" all ok but havent actually...

Danfre - thanks I'm not sure how much I can do about that but could raise issue of lead length and pointing if others here concur, but at least [unlike others here] it's very specific. It's a pointer to look for if/when things go wrong with it in future or if I have any other roofing work needed...

how kind and constructive

thanks actually thanks to the comments on this forum and eventually being able to look at gutter from above, was able to sort out the issue and clear the gutter and resolve the problem - because people did question what I'd said in my non-expert way
