The fan was fitted over the shower cubicle in November 2014. During the first year the firm that fitted it had to return 3 times as the unit was either not woking or making a terrible noise, each time there was a lot of water in the extraction tubing and the fan unit. The last time they came...

Morning All, The car is an Citroen C3 1.4HDI Airdream plus registered November 2009. Fault as above, the rear wash wipe keeps coming on intermitantly for no reason. It can happen anytime & does not seem to be connected to using any particular control or switch. Any help would be helpful...

Morning all, In a few weeks we are having some work done in the bathroom. It will mean re-routing some of the pipes. The old pipes are boxed in with tiles covering the box sections. This will mean that there will be a lot of old grout on the existing wall tiles. My question is how to...

Thanks "Footprints" for the feedback. I cant find either product locally although I have not tried Wicks yet. I an sure that a PVA is available that is non water based, perhaps solvent or similar. I have stripped a quarter of the emulsion off & the rest is sound, I don't think I should...

Hi All, The emulsion paint is flaking on the bathroom ceiling mostly above the shower. I have been told to scrape the flaking paint back to where the paint is sound then cover the area with PVA before repainting with emulsion. The problem is I have read on all the PVA available locally...
