Hi, Was not sure where to list this. Bought a bath and when I had it delivered it has a few light scrathes on it. Does any one know if I can polish these out easily with something? I may send it back, the only reason I have not is because of the hassle of waiting for another one. Is it...

Thanks for the help

Hi, Is it best to seal natural travertine tiles before or after grouting? I'm worried that if sealing before the grout will not stick to the edge of the tiles very well. Also what is the best drill bit to drill natural stone with, or is there a good adesive I could use to put mirror and...

Many thanks

Hi, May sound like an easy question but what size connection flexible pipe will I need to connect to my new toliet inlet socket? Thanks

Hi, Is there any other way to finish edging around corners of windows and shelves? I have 12mm Light Travertine tiles, I can find 12 mm cream edging strip but the colour is not a very good match. Is there any trim to match closer or is it usually aceptable just to try to cut the tiles to size...

Thanks for your reply. So the anwer is yes then, the head will always be warm, even when no heating or hot water is on?

Wondered if you could answer a question about the fitting of the 3 port Danfoss valve and actuator head? The thing I noticed before I changed the head is that even with the heating and water off and pipes behind the head cold, the head still gets quite warm, is this the norm, or do I have some...

Hi, about a year ago my 3 way motorised valve packed up (danfoss). It seized up. I replaced the actuator head only at the time because it was easier for me to do. Now the valve itself is leaking from behind the motor and it has corrosion behind the 3 way motor and the valve. I have a gravity...

Hi, May seem like a simple question to you lot, but I was not sure. I wish to change the bathroom radiator with a chrome towel rail radiator. The current size rad is 400 wide by 600 high. Is it best to replace the rad with the same size, or could I go a bit higher, maybe 800? I just thought...

Hi, Just to let you know I got a brass half inch male/female socket from a plumbing place and it did the job, easy. Thanks for the help, I'm very happy with it, I never thought of the answer and it has saved me a lot of headache. Cheers!

Distance from tiles to service valve = 20mm to bottom of service vale size/type of service valve= Regular one that connects to the Loo? Distance from service valve to toilet connection=8mm What does a male/female socket look like? Will that allow me enough room to cut the service valve...

Hi, I have laid new floor in the Bathroom and I went under my Loo. My problem is because the Loo has been raised about 8mm I cannot reach to reconnect it to the service value. Normally this would not be a big problem, I would cut pipe and extend to reach, but I only have 20mm of pipe below the...

Hi, Update, did managed to repair, thanks for all your help. Finally went with masona 's idea of screwing new sides of the hangers over the old ones. Took me a bit of time to do the job but at least I feel this repair is good and strong. Photo of repair below...

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/k.mott/hangers.jpg Started to look for these exact joist hangers online to find where to go get them but I can not find them anywhere. Does anybody know where to get them? they are holding a 190x46 (200x50 I expect) joist. I will try my local biulders Merchant...

What I think I will do is have a go at removing the nails at a point where it is not supporting anything, and depending how easy it is to get them out I will decide whether to go will the new half hangers over the top or the bolts through the sides. I need to also look at the hangers and see if...

The M12 bolt option sounds like the option that I can do myself if I can get in to drill 12mm holes OK, access is a bit limited between the joists.. The welding I would have to get someone to do. I'm thinking of the other option given by masona of useing half hangers over the existing ones...

Thanks for your reply. I hear what your saying but I would be a bit scared of removing the nails on one side case the joist moved, plus I'm not sure it would be very easy to remove the nails, I will give it some thought though. Do you really think spot welding them together is an option? I...

Sorry, Links are working now, I'm new to all this. Did not expect a reply so quick
