Hi I have just fitted a shower screen, screwed the frame to the tiled wall, however due to an uneven wall, there is a large gap at the base 1 cm wide at widest point, 30 cm high- So what should i use to fill this gap, bearing in mind i need to make it waterproof and have a...

Lol im an amateur yes but not Frank Spencer....! It turns out it was the taps, got a brand new set and fitted them no problems Cheers for the advice all !

Cheers for the good advice all done and dusted.

Yes Tickly i tried fitting the nut with the taps off the bath and it still wouldnt tighten, and it was straight on, no crossed thread. This is both hot and cold taps so im sure it was the taps. I can put the old ones on and off no probs, so i conclude its the taps I took it back to the...

Hi all I need to replace one of my bath flexi supply pipes: Would this do the job: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/96407/Plumbing/Flexible-Hoses/Flexible-Tap-Connector-15mm# I've also seen these 'easy fit' ones...

Significant leak, but its pretty hard getting in position to really tighten it. I've bought some dodgy taps i'm sure, I've just tried using a different nut and it still jams. Im sure they havent been finished correctly,it looks like the thread area has been chrome plated, possibly altering...

Heat I didnt replace the red washers, i should do that i presume. I dont think i can have overtightend them as i can only do about 1.5 full turns, whereas with the originals it took about 3.5 turns to get them undone. Would it be an idea to put something on the thread to help lubricate...

Hi I recentlly had an new fusebox fitted. It is sited next to a radiator (about 4" to one side.) The radiator is pretty old and the plaster round it a bit lumpy so i was looking into fitting a decorative box radiator cover. I was thinking of getting one big enough to cover the fusebox...

Hi Recently picked up a set of mixer bathroom taps, ex display, from a closing down shop. Just got them out and realised theres no rubber washer/seal (what is the correct term?) to go between the base of the taps and the top surface of the bath. Should all taps come with these, is...

Just to say thanks Rico and all, for the advice Couldn't get the exact part you suggested but got a new valve, fitted it fine and all is well again :D

Cheers Rico Would you recommend any sealant when fitting it, i notice the original seems to have a little white glue/cauking where the pipe sticks up from the bottom of the tank? Also is it ok to leave the water turned off at the stop cock overnight, to prevent too much water leaking out...
