You could try ringing their customer support and see if you can charm them into repairing it, or at least letting you speak to an engineer. Years ago I had a problem with a Miele washing machine. I phoned them. Over the phone they diagnosed it as being a PCB failure. I pointed out that it was...

When I try to replicate your search using my username, it comes back with "It looks like you accidentally brought up or were searching for the DIYnot Forums!" Oh well, Gemini thinks I am a mistake. Perhaps Google's AI is one of my ex's.

Are the walls plaster or plasterboard? If the former, did they use nylon plugs and then remove them? Lining paper is incredibly forgiving. Naked lining paper can be sanded back so much so that you can hardly see the edge (assuming that you are using a random orbital sander connected to a dust...

If you have a dehumidifier, on a hot humid evening it might help.

More sanding should suffice. Try a random orbital sander with 80 grit paper.

Hi all, In 2023, I laid laminate flooring for a mate. It was a knock through lounge and dining room, plus the hallway. I laid if so that there were no visible thresholds, ie it was continuous. Previously he had threshold bars. A few weeks ago he came back from holiday and discovered that a...

My go to brushes for paint finishes are either Purdy or Wooster. If you are north of the Thames, it will be Purdy, south of the Thames, you are more likely to find Wooster brushes. Both firms make brushes to suit each price bracket, however, in the UK, they don't push their lower quality...

As a decorator, I get frustrated when presented with a door which has been siliconed in. The fitters are either unaware that silicone repels paint... or they don't care. I end up having to remove the silicone (a very, very slow process) and then apply appropriate fillers and, after initial...

I dunno. I am not a plumber... but when my gerberit concealed system started to drain in the bowl, I discovered that the rear of the flush plate had a spare washer. That made my life so much easier. There was a second, smaller washer, I don't know what that was for, but the larger washer...

Which micro fiber roller are you using? Some have foam backings which might increase air bubbles. Wet edges can be extended if you add flowtrol. A cheaper alternative would be propylene glycol. Both work. I am a decorator. I pay the premium for the Floetrol, but a friend once baulked at the...

I think you mean the Liberon ones https://www.wood-finishes-direct.com/product/liberon-wax-filler-sticks

You can mix acrylic paints into 2 pack filler to match the colour, but on the balance of probability, it will crack in time as the oak expands and contracts. You can used coloured wax sticks and polish them flat. I do not know how water tight they will be though. Alternatively, the likes of...

I thought that wavin might some type of string- evidently not. What is it? Tnx

Yeah, I would use either of the shellac based products. Blockaide- made by Smith & Rodgers (based in Glasgow) is often cheaper. It is identical to BIN.

Good point. In the past I have had customers ask me to shunt light fittings by 4-5" so that it lined up with the middle of the offset chimney breast.

Surely, once you calculate the middle, it will only deviate by about 6" ?
