    Best way to deal with these 2 small new shower enclosure niggles

    Hi, we recently got a new shower enclosure. Straight away there was an issue with some water getting through the bottom of the glass flap with the supplied shower seal. This led me to getting a longer shower seal, which has helped a lot. Only a little bit is getting through now (not that much to...

    Do b&q or any other stores cut metal?

    Thanks for the replies, it's the rail in this link: Rail support arm I need to just take 2-3mm off, do you think a file set would be fine and cheapest option for that? Or if i bought a cheap angle grinder, what type of disc would be best? i don't have a vice, so would some sort of abrasive one...

    Few big issues in shower

    Thanks for your reply Madrab, up to now he's not seen under the tray at all. Do you think the quoted price of £1250 is also reasonable or excessive? If it was a walk in and the spray was directed on an angle, would this cause water to easily get out? At the moment, the enclosure if a slide...

    Few big issues in shower

    Hi, I wasn't sure whether to make a new topic but thought it might make more sense adding it to this topic as it's related to it and people would know the background.

    Thanks for the reply, I guess another slight issue might be, because the house was bought as new when it was built, could it be the case the developer had custom made trays? or would they just be from a retail line that anyone can just buy? When the tray cracked the first time, the developer did...

    Is it bad to set boiler radiator temp too high?

    Hi, we have a Potterton Pro Max Ultra Combi boiler. We have pretty much always had the radiator set to around 76c I happened to be looking at a site recommended settings and I think it said between 60c – 70c and if higher than this might lead to it not entering condensing mode. So would that be...
