How often will you need to open the access panel? One option might be to tile over it but use silicone instead of grout at the shut lines, so you just need to cut the silicone out to open it and and re-seal when you're finished.

Well what type of tiles are they? If not e.g. rectified/coloured body then your extra cut on the 4th side could end up looking messy and out of place as you'll have a cut edge on a flat surface not on a corner and will not have a trim to disguise/hide it a bit.

Personally I would 100% run the full tile up the window, To my eye the extra cut/grout line would look very odd.

Yes you're right, I wasn't specific enough, it's the white one that I'm after.

What's the issue with this at the moment? Doesn't seem to be any stock anywhere. Anyone recommend another decent neutral cure sanitary silicone?

T-cut doesn't seem to touch it either :( Think I'm going to have to try and find a larger diameter waste.

Very slight

Not completely, no.

Hi all, A few months ago I fitted a new bath in my bathroom that I'm doing up, plumbed everything up, flushed through etc. Then certain life events got in the way and I closed the door and left it. I've just come back to it to finish off and found that there's a bright yellow ring around the...

Probably more than you need but it's not going to cause any problems so if it's cheap then go ahead.

I have seen some CCTV footage posted online that purportedly shows the aircraft going in at essentially a vertical downward attitude (and reports elsewhere indicate that this was indeed the case) Not sure if the black boxes survive that kind of impact?

I've usually found that the ceiling runs out at least a little bit so deliberately making sure you have a cut at the top allows you to compensate and get a nice close fit all the way round.

Hi all, I've tilled the wall on one side of my bathroom, where centreing the grout line with the centre line of the bath also by coincidence also almost perfectly centres a tile on the doorway, all good. On the opposite wall if I centre the grout line on the bath again then it will make the...

Thanks for all the responses! So, to sum up - if I whack a 1:5 coat of PVA on and let it dry fully, then hit it with a 3:1 coat on the day I intend to plaster, let it go tacky and crack on, I won't go far wrong?

Hi all, knocked a load of tiles off a plastered wall and now want to retile. The tiles took off the plaster skim and is down to various layers underneath. My current plan is to knock off any remaining loose/weak plaster then use 'thistle one coat' to build this area back out flat and...

I bought a load of 'shmox' stuff from ebay and it worked great. I got the pliers too but tbh found it easier and more effective to just do them up by hand and did most of the job that way.

soft close mechanisms bugger up if you are in the habit of pushing the seat down faster than it wants to fall on its own.

Sounds familiar... I remember my dad's B&D drill and attachment set, only going back to the 80s here though. As I recall it came with a jigsaw attachment. You had to unscrew and remove the chuck and replace with with a sort of paddle thing which interfaced a slot on the attachment. Also had a...

Yeah I'm thinking it might be too close to make the turn but I'll have to just buy the access bend and attach it to see. Seems like I've got a suitable solution either way though.

Hi all, Just want to check whether what I'm doing is 1- Not a really bad idea 2- Compliant I'm changing around the layout of my upstairs bathroom and have bricked up the old soil, shower and basin waste holes and removed the hopper and separate downpipe that the old shower and basin wastes...
