Your right in you need to dot and dab a new piece of plaster board in , you need to drop it in so it's about 3mm below the surface then pop a skim on top which will level it to the rest of the wall Was there something sticking out of the back of the fire which required that piece to be cut out?

Just use a smaller bit - simple as that If I am drilling into a suspected problem wall I use a drill size down from the one I want to use and I see if the plug will fit , that way hopefully I don't screw myself over by drilling the hole too large and having to bodge the plug in

Why don't you just replace the hinge for one you prefer ? Hinges are cheap

No they don't , if the plugs you are using spin around the hole you have drilled is too big - simple as that Uno's and duopowers are superb plugs

Looks like an old copper pipe waste Cut the pipe just behind the "ring washer" then you will be able to use a compression fitting to attach a piece of pipe/p trap onto Personally I would rip it out and replace with plastic , looking at the bottom of the isolation vavle with the olive and nut...

Thanks for that

Expanding foam does not work, rats can chew through it very easily , you need to use something more solid like concrete

Its more than possible bit more work but certainly doable

Have you got that link ? (I'm being lazy)

Then that's means you need a positive head , isn't that pump negative head? Correct me if I'm wrong however it's early!

Is there more than 600mm between showerhead and tank?

Not quite Plugs use friction , overcome that friction with enough weight and the plugs will pop out Ask any parent whose kids have used their curtains as a swing!

Have you checked the motor?

Not tried a solid door but lying a door down bow side up and adding weight to the bow section or screwing the door down will remove a bow, sometimes using wet towels helps too

Think you answered your own question there..... You don't need lots of PTFE tape on a joint a few turns in the same direction of the thread will do
