The leak is all fixed, and wasnt that bad either. I will look at the weekend, if its had it, I will put the original lfitting back in as only renting the house out.

Ok thanks guys, I will take it completely down at the weekend and have a better look at it. Thanks again Bob

I had a shower leak, this resulted in some water coming throughou the living room lights. The fuse tripped and in darkness. I went down turned the downstairs lights fuse off, put power back on, fixed the shower problem then had a look at the light. There were a few drips still coming out. So as...

I have fitted a new shower door, where you can adjust it, for when the wall is not straight, the screw holes are a little big. Now the door moves slightly within the frame that's screwed to the wall. I thought of getting some larger screws but the White plastic caps won't fit on top. What's the...

Hi, I have taken a spur off to a fused switch behine the tv unit. I have gone from there up to behind the tv which is wall mounted. I have like an idiot, forgotten about the dvd, amp etc, that will sit on tio of the tv unit below. Can I change the fused switch over to a double, IE...

Hmm yes, I will, been looking about the forum, and the water has been off, obviously, but the sink taps seem fine. I will have another look over the weekend. Thanks

Yes gravity fed. Sorry.

Hi, I have gutted the en suite, put new everything in. The shower that was there was a mixer, about a foot to the right of the on/off tempreture control was the flexi pipe connector, that connected to the head and sat up on a bracket. I have binned that and put a similar mixer in aith a...

Hi, I need to keep access to below the shower. I am tiling the floor, and floor tiling the skirting, to the height of the shower tray and the pipework is boxed in so will be tiled. Whats the best way to keep it accessible, I don’t want to just cover with ply, then tile so I cant get to it in...

Or some SLC, might be easier?

I have moved onto the main bathroom now.. I have noticed that the floor is sloping, 1" over 48" It is noticable when you stand bacl and look into the bathroom, as I have put a towel radiator up, which is not sloping, but looks like it is, also the boxing in of the pipes it plumb, and you...

Ok I will give it a go this evening. Thanks

It was screwed onto the battens.

Hi, I have recelthy drained the CH system down as fitted a towel rad in the bathroom. All went ok, refilled (vented system) and no leaks, bled rads. Now the pump is making a hell of a noise, which is in the airing cupboard. I have removed the large silver screw, completely, and nothing...

Hi, I have redone my en suite, well nearly. I have replaced the plasterboard in the shower tanked and tiled. I had to take off a whole board, which I have replaced. The tiled area is 80% of that board, and it is butted upto an existing board which is not tiled. I need to join the old and new...

Hmm, If I was going to use cement, would Gripfill not be better?

I have installed a new en suite, and am having a couple of problems, the basin, I think I might be ok with, but the toilet pan I also have an issue with. Basically put it in, all ok, but I should screw it down to the floor. The floor is tiled, and where the screws go, I know there are pipes...

I have installed a new en suite, tiles etc and am quite happy, however I am having a problem with the basin. I can’t get it onto the wall properly. There are only two screws underneath, with limited space to get a screwdriver in as it is. There was a pair of wall plugs with it, but as it is...

Yes, undercut the frames and architrave, I did mine last weekend, its very easy and doesnt take long atall. Much better finish. I also took the skirting up aswell.

Hi, I am replacing the whole of my en suite. I have removed the tiles, and most of the adhesive. The plasterboard looks fine all round, (House built in 1993, not changed before) As they are so good, not damp, wet discoloured atall, am I good to just retile. I have read a lot about Aquaboards...
