Wow ! That's easy ... even my wife could do that. Are there any good brands to buy, or are they all pretty much the same.

My daughter lost her handbag, which included the front door key, but luckily nothing with her address was in the bag. She had a replacement key, but still feels as if she should replace the lock. Is this DIY'able ? Isn't it something like replacing the barrel just ? thank you

I think a tile trim would look best, maybe one of the metal ones.

I hope to start my first major tiling job soon and need some help regarding the tile layout. Here's a plan of the bathroom window wall (not to scale though) I'll be using 250 x 200 tiles (250 ht, 200 width) My intention was to have about 1000mm only of tiles, ie this the height...

thanks for all your help ... including on another forum too (I use a different user name there) So I'll get the Bal stuff and 'get going' I've been putting off starting the tiling for a while now, but with 2013 upon us, I better get started, before my wife shoots me.

Thank you I was going to buy a tanking kit and a separate primer for the rest of the wall. It looks as if they are basically the same, so would I be better off just buying, as separate items, all these (from the same brand obviously) .. a primer, for all the bare walls, including under the...

two questions please .. (1) I have been told I should tank the area before I fit tiles to the wall of the bathroom, around the bath and especially the shower area. I've looked at a few Youtube clips to see what's what and it looks quite straightforward. Is this pack a suitable...

I am about to do my first bit of serious wall tiling, to a bathroom. I was going to fix a timber batten exactly 1 tile height above the bath line, leaving just enough room underneath, for 1 tile as well as the bathroom sealing strip. However, now I am a little worried, what if the bath...

We moved into a house, which has white/peach patterned tiles to the ceiling, together with a peach bathroom suite. We are going to change this to a white suite. However, what are the current trends regarding tiling ? Is it still the done thing to fully tile every wall in the bathroom...

We are going to replace our old 'back boiler" with a conventional wall mounted combi. The only logical location on an outside wall is on the bathroom wall. This is a bungalow and the wall faces north, straight in line with the prevailing wind. Would this be a problem for the flue

Which brands of acrylic baths are 8mm thick I need a new bath and have been advised to go for a thick acrylic model, but when I had a look at my local DIY superstore, there was no mention of bath thicknesses. Or are steel baths better ?

When the electrician installed it, he said it would need a dedicated circuit, which he then did. So is it a case of calling him back ?

We recently purchased a Baumatic built-in oven, model number 632SS. Just after we got it, my wife started night shift work, so I have been doing the cooking. For fome reason, the oven keeps cutting itself off and no power reaches it, all the lights go out. Example this afternoon, trying...

Hi What's the difference between the standard and the high performance roof seal, by Thompsons. Is it worth paying the extra. At DIYtools, normal is £17.99 (2.5litres), better is £23.01 (2.5 litres) I want to cover my felted garage as stop gap, as I am not able to afford a complete...

My wife has decided we need a new bathroom suite, so it's time to start looking. I came across an online store which seems to have some good prices. I had never heard of them before, so thought I should ask here. Their delivery rate is £29.99 to my location, but that would be removed if I...

Thanks ! I actually picked up two at Argos for £2.99, which wasn't too bad

Does anybody know a cheap place I can order these online, with delivery. No shops in my town seem to stock them and taking a trip just for these, is a bit excessive. I actually need two bulbs 40W Small screw bulb fittings thanks !

I have a table tennis net bracket which is broken .. basically one part if like a G clamp and the other an L shaped piece of round steel (4mm diameter) I was going to buy some 'chemical metal' to stick them together, but at about £7 I had second thoughts. I have some resin and fibreglass...

Many thanks :D

I have a Tempur bed, but one of the bolts is loose, to operate the lifting mechanism. On inspection, the end of the bolt has a little widget missing, see the image below. One image has one attached, but one bolt hasn't What is this called, like a flattened cone, which obviously is hammered...
