    Water in sink trap bubbles when shower is running?

    My shower/bath and sink share the same drain. No water travels to the sink when the shower is on. However when I have the shower on the water in the sink trap starts to bubble. It doesn't come up the sink but I can see it bubbling away in the trap. Is this an issue with pressure? What would...

    Efflorescence on interior wall after leak fixed

    I had a roof which had probably been leaking for around a year and got worse. It caused a corner of the kitchen wall to become damp and wet. This was during the renovation of a kitchen so the walls were not plastered. I got the leak fixed (broken tile) and there were no more leaks after heavy...

    Interior door with broken hinge and can't remove painted screw?

    Thanks. A drill did the trick. Was then able to replace the hinge and use existing screw holes.

    Screw socket missing from socket box?

    Thank you. I was able to take the old one out and put the new one in within 5 minutes. A lot easier than I imagined.

    Screw socket missing from socket box?

    It is Appleby. Problem is I can't get to the back or side of the box due to the tiles and I don't want to break the tiles. So I will buy this box and test whether I can replace the yellow part from the inside even though it is clipped on from the outside or whether I can remove the coil part the...

    Screw socket missing from socket box?

    Any ideas on how to fix this? As you can see from the second image, you cannot get the screw on one side in due to the missing part. I can't find it anywhere. The walls have been tiled so going to be a pain to replace the entire box..

    gap around plug sockets..

    Mostly in the middle part of the tiles. Best to cover with grout? Could just leave them but worried about safety.

    Interior door with broken hinge and can't remove painted screw?

    Any ideas? I don't want to have to get someone to replace the door. The door won't close due to the hinge.

    Bathroom sink slow to drain after pouring grout water down?

    Is it safe to use an actual drain rod down the plastic pipe? I don't have a snake or anything else long enough.

    The honest answer is I don't know. I hope it can be fixed without having to remove the kitchen tiles!

    Bathroom sink slow to drain after pouring grout water down?

    Our bathroom sink is slow to drain. It takes about 5 minutes for half a sinkful of water to drain. I did stupidly pour down a bucket of tile adhesive water which we were using for our new kitchen (from the bucket I used to clean the tools while tiling) so I have hope it hasn't solidified...

    Low pressure and no hot water after moving radiator

    ok so... we don't have a thermostat but is there anyway we can increase the pressure, start the boiler but not fill the radiators with water so it gushes?

    Low pressure and no hot water after moving radiator

    but the boiler is what supplies the hot water and sadly the boiler won't operated due to the low water pressure.

    Low pressure and no hot water after moving radiator

    sorry I should have made it more clear... The boiler won't operate if the water pressure is low. It gives an error.

    Low pressure and no hot water after moving radiator

    I am not sure why all I know is in the past when we couldn't get hot water it was because the water pressure was too low.
