We had some silicone on our kitchen sink put on 5 years ago 2 corners have started coming off See pic below I've bought silicone to replace... Then I thought I can get lazy... Maybe I can just cut 2cm either side of the bit that's come off and JUST replace the silicone there? Is that a...

No idea why the tile slipped It's been up there for 6 years - that's when we had the extension done A neighbour from opposite knocked on our door and told us When I climbed onto part of the extension (that part is safe) I found the whole tile

Wow That sounds so sad

Erm... no! Thanks for pointing out an idiotic idea of mine I won't be climbing that roof But would still like to know where and how to replace the tile I'll get the guy who repaired the TV aerial to do Thanks

A roof tile has come loose. I've looked up youtube. You need to lift above tiles up and slot in the new one. The tile I have missing is the one right at the top. So not sure what to do. See pics below. + One corner of the tile has broken off. Should I try to glue this back on? Or do I need a...

@Wayners thanks. I think it might be easier to get one of the little bits to fix the backbox Being lazy and tight - looking for the easiest and cheapest way That thread tool cost £9 - I'll never use again!

I need to fix a metal back box Both the threads have gone on the screws When I screw a new screw in, that screw loses its thread I got some metal bits to fix the problem But I can't figure out how to use! I think I got them from Screwfix - can't remember See below As it is, I can't push...

Damn it! I'll not waste my time getting screw bits to open up I can still sell one of the units though

It's a bathroom wall. Tiles are shiny white. I'm replacing a broken toilet roll holder. Behind is a solid brick wall. See pic below That's the old holder piece still left in the wall. I should be good to reuse on of the holes, so only need to drill one hole. Any thoughts? I saw one youtube...

@foxhole amazing! I've got those plastic bits in my tool box. I think they're all from Ikea, so not sure about fit. I'll give them a go. Else, I'll try the dowel method suggested Thanks

Aha... torx? OK. I have some. See pic below. PROBLEM: the smallest one is too big. I need smaller screws? Another problem: for the bottom screws, I need a long neck. The standard bits won't be able to fit. See pic below: So where would I get the size I need? @sparkymarka Not worth it...

I plugged in a Virgin Powerline adapter and it blew the fuse inside I can't open. It's got special screws. The seems to be a small dimple in the middle of the screw + not all the screws seem to be the same!! Left hand screws have dimples and right hand screws don't. See pics below...

I need to make 2 holes in the bathroom where we have tiles What type of drill bit do I need? Assuming I need something different from the normal? Thanks.

New hinge cost = £7 - £10 - just a guess I had a genius idea! Make the metal holes bigger :) Just need to check if the screws I have fit Hole saw: I'd end up drilling all the way through. LOL But maybe a can get a dowel and pack in? But then I still need to know what size screw I need...

I fitted a kitchen door hinge The existing holes are too big See pic below What should I do? Add wood filler After that: I'm not sure what size screw I need I have some standard size screws for kitchen door hinges - these are too big and don't fit the hole on the plate Thanks

Tell me what price I should be looking at - just a guestimate will do If you say £5k - I'll move onto the next crazy idea LOL @foxhole not my department, I have no skills in cleaning

3 kids actually of different ages ranging from 10 to 18 Is there a safety concern? @freddiemercurystwin I'll definitely google as you suggest Any idea off the top of your head what the cost might be? 2 slanted pieces needed: 1.2m x 1m + 1m x 1m 1 rectangle piece: 08.m x 1m I wouldn't have...

I've got an idea in my head: install glass balustrades I've seen plenty of videos on youtube Most include installing new wood and dropping into a groove - that's too much work for me. One single video: the guy gets rid of the wooden poles, sands down and paints. Then just gets clips from...

I've actually left really loose. Still the same I can give it a go pushing back or forward - but don't think that will do anything I already tried last night, same result 'graphite lock lube' - I saw someone on youtube use this (really old video) Will that help me? (I think it would be...

I've taken out screw, without the screw it's fine I've tried using the old screw from the previous lock which is Shorter. Same problem Not sure how I can misalign Where to confuse what to do now
