My Garage door - has begun to come apart. I have read on the internet that i can just use a clamp and glue it back together; but i am confused because there is absolutely no movement at all in the stile (vertical). Is this just a case of applying more clamping force or is it too far gone for a...

Thanks for the advice, I am going to follow the consensus of opinion and attempt to paint it and see how it goes. Turns out its mdf with a laminate on, so I've rough sanded it and now plan to paint it with oil based Satinwood...

Hi, (sorry if this is not the correct forum to post this question) My partner hates our bath panel and "demands" a white one. I am in a dilemma having never touched a bath panel before I am not sure if its easier to paint the existing panel or rip it out and replace with a white one. I don't...

Oh well , not what i wanted to hear ! But such is life. If i do replace - any advice ? Eg is a softwood door more likely to bow that an oak one? does painting the edges of the door help? is three hinges the way to go? Dont want to go through all the trouble of replacing only to...

Can anyone offer any advice with dealing with a bowed internal door. The door hits the stops at the top and the bottom. Its like a longbow. I can move the stops if that is the only way. Hopefully the picture of the door with a straight edge will show the issue more clearly than words. Thanks

Thanks for the replies and advice @picasso - the bathstore one looks like a reasonable compromise @OwainDIer - thanks for the headsup on the naming i can search for 4 or 5 hole taps now should i decide to go this route

Hi Sorry to be a pain but in my searches I stumbled across this image. The mixer is fitted into the bath itself. Does this style of fitting have a special name ; am looking for a keyword to search on. Are there any obvious issues with fitting a mixer in this way; i have my suspicions but what...

Hi I am trying to purchase bath taps with an integrated mixer shower and a cradle as the area around the bath taps has no wall to hang the shower mixer. However all the ones with a cradle seem to be of the Victorian style. I am looking for something a bit more modern. Does anyone know of...

All Thanks for your great tips and help on this - just thought i would post a follow up for the solution I used in the end. I rigged up a simple pulley to enabled me to raise the tray; spread mortar then lower it with one hand onto the mix. I used some redundant packaging straps from a...

@muggles - am glad you suggested that. Id already considered dumping it. My biggest issue is having to make it protrude the correct depth from the wall at fixing height which implies that you know the final tile depth. (In my house the other half has a tendency to change her mind). For...

Simple question - can anyone recommend a technique for lowering a heavy stone resin shower base into position onto a bed of mortar. The tray is to fit inside a cubicle , boarded on 3 walls . The opening is ~810mm wide and the tray 800mm giving me little room for maneuver and weighing in at...

The bracket is the one shown in the pdf link i attached - am not sure of the exact model no. of it as its just a bracket and i presume its generic across the entire range of Aqualisa products. Its just a simple piece of plastic with push-fit 15mm inputs to 3/4" plastic threads for a shower to...

Hi I just got a new shower and it came with the easy fit bracket http://www.aqualisa.co.uk/Aqualisa/media/installation-guides/509302-Easy-fit-fixing-bracket-Web-inst-guide.pdf?ext=.pdf My issue is that I am planning on mounting it horizontally - but when i place the bracket in position on my...

The diagram is correct - its just not to scale. How do i cross post / move this subject to the building forum?

The other side of that wall is the top of the landing/staircase Hopefully this badly drawn plan helps PS. sorry for being less then clear in original question

Ooops - I messed up there just posted the thumbnails.. Post updated with full sized imagery :)

Hi I have recently moved into a bungalow which has previously (some years ago) had the loft converted. It is my intention to install an extractor fan into the bathroom upstairs but I am puzzled as to where to locate it as there is no space to run the extraction hose or place the fan...
