Don't think so, the silicone appears outside the drilled hole, on and in the wall plug itself. Here is a close up of a part of the wall plug and there doesn't appear to be any silicone between the metal wall plug and the surrounding wall. IMAG0218 by ADarkDividedGem posted 29 Dec 2015 at 8:01...

It's a tall towel rail Bathroom Towel Rail by ADarkDividedGem posted 28 Dec 2015 at 1:40 PM

Well those four wall plugs will be holding up a 13kg towel rail with extra weight once water is added. Is that something considered heavy?

Hi, I am needing to refit wall plugs after they have been removed, currently I need to fill four holes no bigger than a £2 coin. IMAG0213 by ADarkDividedGem posted 29 Dec 2015 at 5:22 PM At the moment the best thing I have is "UniBond All Purpose No More Cracks Ready Mixed Filler Tub" which...

Apart from simply taking some pliers and ripping the following metal screw plug out the wall is there a known tool to remove it with less damage to the wall? IMAG0208 by ADarkDividedGem posted 29 Dec 2015 at 1:59 PM Thanks

Well the vice was able to keep it in place enough for me to unscrew the nut. No floor below but yes I might need to drain if I wanted to do some further corrective survery :) Now that I managed to unscrew the pipes the next problem was being able to drain it when all the pipes are vertical...

How about this for something similar IMAG0204 by ADarkDividedGem posted 28 Dec 2015 at 2:43 PM Thanks :) It was more of a case which way was up as I wasn't sure what pipe was being screwed into what. Yup, that is my next worry.

Thanks, Yeah a soon as I start applying pressure the copper pipe just turns with itBent Bathroom Towel Rail Pipe by ADarkDividedGem posted 28 Dec 2015 at 1:40 PM Looks like I will need to put something behind the valve to stop it turning as well. Is this normal?

Thanks for you helpful comments, will go ahead and just repaint the whole room with a paint designed for wet environments and if the streaks still re-occur I will consider tiling the wall.

Hi, As you can see from the below photo I noticed that my bathroom wall started to accumulate moisture which built up enough to leave streak marks on the wall. Bathroom wall by ADarkDividedGem posted 26 Jul 2015 at 3:49 AM Is the best way to get rid of those marks to simply paint over it? Does...

Just an update to say I managed to remove the taps, turns out the adhesive was very old and just crumbled away after applying a little extra force with a prybar. Bath taps removed by ADarkDividedGem posted 12 Jul 2015 at 2:43 AM I ended up replacing the taps since they looked like they were...

Sorry, looks like I used the term re-grouting wrongly and I actually mean re-sealing. I am removing the taps to gain better access to the gap around the bath so the sealant can be removed and then reapplied with UniBond Anti Mould Sealant. Thanks for pointing this out.

Not yet, as soon as I saw that adhesive I assumed it had become a lost cause but knowing it just needs a lot more force I can go ahead and unscrew the hot water tap and get out the prybar. When it comes to putting the taps back would I need to reapply the same adhesive or is that unnecessary?

Hi, I am wanting to remove my taps temporarily so I can access the wall behind them to allow for re-grouting, as you can see from the image below there is not enough space to properly remove and reapply the grout: Taps - Top by ADarkDividedGem posted 7 Jul 2015 at 12:53 AM Your How to Guide...
