Hi Just bought a house and the bath looks gruby, I thought it was just a build up of dirt and got to work on it with a scrubbing brush and bleach, to no avail. The bath is cast iron I think - it's definitely not plastic. Any ideas on what may shift this marking - as I say, it looks like...

Thanks that's really helpful. Do you know how I would remove the 'snap in" angled securing members? Would I use a screwdriver to ease it out? Many thanks Terri

Hi I've bought a house and a couple of the double glazing units need replacing. They are still mounted in the pvc window frame - how do I measure for replacements. Also is it just the width/length I need or do I need thickness. Many thanks Terri

Hi, spoke to my dad on the trade paint and he said yep no problem. He's retired now but still does the odd bit, he told me of a story recently when he bought a massive 25 litre drum/tub of magnolia - and he got it for £10. Think this must have been a one off though. Thanks for all your...

Trade paint ? Is it as good in quality ? I don't think my dad uses trade paint.

Many thanks. Terri

That is a good way of describing the glass. Yes it definitely looks ripley. The windows that I have got are all decent - I just don't want to end up with the 'rippley' look. Any ideas how to avoid it pls?

Thank you. Really appreciated. I'll do it the proper way, but will use a quicker drying gloss. Thanks again.

Many thanks. Really appreciated. Terri

Hi there I've just bought a house that needs doing up. My dad is a fantastic decorator and his opinion is that you always do all the rubbing down filling etc. Then a good quality under coat followed by a quality gloss. He also prefers the longer drying stuff (16 hours I think). I...

Hello I'd like to have a go at tiling a kitchen floor. Sorry but I'm going to ask all sorts of odd questions because I'm a blonde female! My aim is to tile the floor then have a go at putting in a kitchen from a DIY store. How do I prepare the floor. I think it is floorboards at the...

Hello I've just bought a house and it has a few tiles missing. I live in Kent - not too far from Dartford Bridge. Does anyone know of a place that I can go to try and match up missing tiles. Even reclaimed tiles would probably be good as I guess the original tiles are fairly old. Many...

Is it too late to lay turf. Is there a good / bad time. Many thanks Terri

Hi there I've got to replace a few units of double glazing as they are damaged. I don't want to buy units that are not of same quality. I've seen double glazing which has a horrible reflection a bit like a a bowed glass. Sorry if I'm not making sense. Basically, I'd like to put in...

Yes - it is one of those things. I don't think the pipe is blocked as the dishwasher runs through it fine. Also, I did try the caustic soda, I poured it down the pipe after I removed that t joint thing and it went straight out into the drain. Any other ideas? Many thanks Terri

Hi, I'm new to this site and I'm desparate for advice. Machine working fine - when emptying out the water, the T connector pipe (washing machine and dishwasher both empty out of this connector pipe) is spurting the water out of the hole in the top of the connector. I've tried all this...
