Sorry to be Dim but do you mean grip the threaded rod and twist that?

Andy I watched the guy fit it and I'm sure that the gear used was all in the tap kit I bought from B&Q.

Thanks for the quick response. It's just a plain bolt, no head on it that can be adjusted. Hoping I can do this without removing the sink of possible.

Hello. I'm having a problem with my mixer tap that's very loose in the kitchen. I know that its likely to be needed to be tightened from underneath but when I get under I can't even see if there's a nut to tighten as there is a massive kind of wingnut on the threaded bolt. Here's an...

Well it's all fixed so the element was the problem. Just wondering about the grill now

Thanks for response caveman. Yeah stat light on and fan working to me means there's only the element left to look at. I suppose for £25 it's worth a shot. Would you always get your spares online? As for the grill I take your point but the period of cut out seems to be very long. A slice...

Hello. Just a couple of quick (longwinded) queries regarding my oven. I popped the oven on tonight and after 15 minutes noticed that the light on the front was still on. Opened it up and the bloody thing was freezing. After an initial panic of 10 minutes looking at buying a new one I...

Oh dear. Well its very yellow and manky looking and despite using the grout pen to try and cover it over it has returned within a week.

Could someone advise the best way to regrout my bathroom? What tools will be needed and is it a straightforward job for a beginner? In terms of replacing the grout what would be the best grout/process to use to avoid staining in the shower in the future. Thanks in advance

Thanks for swift response pal. I'm not averse to getting the right gear for the job I just don't want to cock it up. Worse case is it going to be something like toggle fixings? I'll probably get on with this tomorrow and keep you posted. Thanks

I'm not the best DIYer but I'm going to fit a bath screen as it seems fairly straight forward. To fit the screen I will have to drill through the wall tiles. Any general advice on doing this without messing up? Will I be ok to use whatever fixings were sent with the kit? I think the...

I had to do some DIY at short notice today and the only option I had was the nearby B&Q. I was struck by just how expensive it is in there for anything from masking tape to silicone. Where is the best place to source materials from without being ripped off?

It isn't hollow actually it sounds firm but not brick. It almost sounds tinny when I tap it. Wall is 4 years old and outside is brick

Thanks Andy. Is marine ply the most suitable material for this?

I'm not totally sure to be honest. Here's a picture of the wider angle if it helps

Totally take the point on the shower screen and will get onto that. It will probably make the room look much bigger too. Im trying to avoid using any more tiles as they aren't very aesthetically pleasing and I have just made a decision not to retile the whole lot to save cash. Once I have...

It's the wall near the window. Not sure what's behind it to be honest.

By torrid I mean useless and ugly. These are the original lights as it's a new build. Is it a case of pulling out the spotlight fittings and seeing if anything else is attached to them?

Thanks for the responses chaps. Its a flat in a block of six and there is no loft. Theres no hatch in our property of in the communal areas. The ceiling lights (3 of them) are halogen down lighters with trasnformers. Not sure what I should do. I have already purchased the bathroom...
