I'm just wondering why you have 2 showers over the bath

13mm I reckon

You're not wrong.The 'retired' plumber who started the job,his toolbox consisted of a carrier bag of plastic push fit fittings and 2 adjustable spanners lol.Not what I was expecting,but beggars can't be choosers.... he's now buggered off to Thailand for 5 weeks !!!

They are all self employed plumbers who all come via recommendation.

I have a bottom feed cistern with a push button. The valve sticks randomly so I'm looking to replace it. Having looked at the Screwfix catalogue I think mine is a fluidmaster. I'm loathe to go with the same brand but they do get the best reviews.Have I just been unlucky and is there a better...

You're not wrong.I'm trying to get a plumber,3 of the 5 are on holiday,1 made arrangements to come at the weekend,never turned up and won't answer the phone and the 5th failed to get back to me. Wish I'd never started the job

I will shortly be laying vinyl sheet over ply in my bathroom....toilet,vanity unit etc to be installed afterwards. It's only a small room,1.8 x 2.7. Should I use a spray adhesive over the entire floor ? Just the edges ? Or use double sided tape ?

How important is a primer/sealer ? I've just tiled 1 wall on fresh plasterboard.I didn't use any sealer.On areas where there's some adhesive that I haven't yet tiled I've scraped it off but it's been a bugger.It's certainly stuck well enough !

Is there a difference between eco friendly and efficient when it comes to dishwashers ?

Will silicon have enough adhesive properties ? I have just been looking at a few websites of companies that sell these panels and most seem to use grip adhesives . I really don't want to be using the wrong product. Cheers Btw,the panels I'm using are 10mm thick corrugated type t+g. I wouldn't...

I did notice some of the grab products are solvent free

I nned some adhesive for fixing pvc wall panels to moisture resistant plasterboard. The wall panel supplier says any silicone sealer will do the job but I'm more inclined to go for a grab type product. I've been looking at Screwfix's offerings and there's a huge choice. Some say 1 surface should...

Have you tried Lidl power tools ? They're surprisingly good,for diy

Not full pelt at all.Offhand I couldn't tell you what full pelt is. This installer left it on a setting that meant I needed to add cold water to make it right for me.....so I knocked it down a notch or 2 until it didn't need cold adding. I was querying which setting is more efficient...

With a combi which is the most effecient method for heating water ? Do you set the boiler temperature so the temp at the tap is ideal or set it higher so you have to add cold ? I'm guessing the 1st way the boiler is working for longer but at a lower temperature. Probably wouldn't make much...

I'm looking at bathroom vanity units in a modern style and they mostly seem to come with polymarble basins. What's the general vedict on these ? A poor substitute for ceramic or a genuine modern alternative ?

Depends on the internals.If it's this type I've repaired them quite easily . Don't forget to turn your water off first :)

I am looking for a mono basin mixer and matching wall mounted bath mixer. I found some I like the look of,made by Bristan but then I found some terribly negative comments online re the quality. What brands should I be looking at ? Budget under £400 preferably Thanks

Obviously not. Actually I asked specifically not to have anything like this so he has swapped it for a mechanical timer with an rf room stat

I had a new combi this week and the fitter left me with an RT500rf and although I consider myself reasonably intelligent it took a Youtube video for me to understand how to program it. One question I still have,when the Salus's batteries eventually die will my heating no longer work until I...
