Hi, I am about to embark on painting my staircase white and am wondering what I should use to fill the gaps, wood filler or caulk? I've attached a photo to help.

Thanks, I'll order one today.

Hi, I am tiling my bathroom floor with 300 x 300mm, 8mm thick porcelain tiles on to a flat surface (wbp). Could you recommend a product / size trowel I could use please. Can I use quite a small notch due to the flat surface? Thanks.

The plan is to tile the whole room.

Hi, I have taken off the tiles in my small shower room and on the end wall and one side wall the bonding coat has been left on and is fairly stable. On the other wall I am back to the breeze block. What is best for the plasterer to do? Put bonding on the other wall and then skim and tank it...

Just in case anyone is reading this in the future, I have contacted MK and they have advised me I need K3551WHI (which is screened)

Hi, I am tiling the area for my shower cubicle and am going to use the metal "L" shaped 8mm tile trim. I can see how this is done easily as the tiles just butt up against it. I am struggling to see how I use it for external corners for a recessed window, does anyone have any links to some...

Hi, I have a recessed wardrobe with sliding doors. I would like to put in a shelf (1.3m) but not sure what to use. I have used conti board before but it didn't look very good. Similarly I don't think I could get a professional finish with MDF? Any suggestions for where I could buy some...

Thanks. I'll give it a try as it will save time. I haven't gone to bare wood just sanded it with wet or dry 240 and removed most of the shine.

Hi, I am about to paint all my skirting boards / architraves in the house which look as if they have been glossed years ago and are now yellow. I have bought Dulux Quick Drying Satinwood and was told I would need to sand the existing woodwork to "remove the sheen" and I would not need to...

Hi, I have a soil pipe that runs down into the ground and it is flush to the wall. I have a wc vanity unit which is 200mm deep so this covers it and I need a Back to Wall Toilet which can butt up against the vanity unit. The waste will need to come out of the toilet and go out and then...

Thanks, i'll do that. Approx what ration should the sand, cement, water, PVA ratio be please?

Thanks for this, I was planning on squeezing some expanding foam down there and covering up but thought there might be a proper plug I could put in there.
