    Tiles not adhering to wall.

    Without a doubt, a light skin of dust will easily create a skin between the adhesive and the wall. Similar situation to when you you place cellotape on the carpet, and pull it off, and then when you try to stick it back on, it doesn't have the same strength? Tile adhesive is not liquid, so it...

    What to do with this ceiling?

    It's not a poor photo. Looks like someone's painted over wooden effect ceiling. Depends on your decorative taste I guess? If you have the time, and long ladders, and a few basic tools, you could emphasis the design and create A focus point on the ceiling.

    Yet another "Which Cordless Drill" ...

    If you have the time, and know how? Do what I did; I bought my dcd985 drill body, 4.0amp battery, and charger seperate, and ended up saving £90.00 on EBay.

    threaded anchors - dry wall fixings

    It's a tricky one. Ideally you would repair the hole with new plasterboard cut out using the right filler and starting from scratch. I'd recommend picture handing strips, if they work for your mirror? Each pair of small strips holds up to 450 g Each pair of medium strips holds up to 1 Kg...

    Bare Plasterboard Bathroom Ceiling

    Johnstone's bathroom kitchen paint. It's got good consistency, but not as good as Dulux. Depends on your budget; I'd recommend looking at your local diy trade desk, and having a chinwag with the person behind the counter; they'll give you a good brand without the high price. I would recommend...

    Flood caused by shower pump flexible hose breaking - any advice?

    I stand corrected. You're right. But it's the 'pull a fast one' culture that is making it hard for others.

    Flood caused by shower pump flexible hose breaking - any advice?

    Where possible don't have flexible pipes installed; find a competent local plumber, who (doesn't drive a Mercedes to work) and get his to fix in copper pipes, or plastic ones if needs be so. standard rules with Flexible pipes include: keep bends to a minimum, use quality rubber inner pipes, and...

    Please help identify bathroom mixer tap.

    Hi Sarah. Random guess, but there is a good chance you won't be able to get the same design tap, as they are constantly upgraded or 'replaced' by the manufacturers. It should cost the same as renewing the inside, or less, to simply swap taps. I did a search, and the closest one I came up with...

    amtico vinyl floor boards and double sided tape??

    Amtico is a good make; just how much would need moping up though? Dampen the mop, and don't push it too hard against the surface, and I don't see an issue; heavily soaked mop, with rigorous pushes will make the joints 'bloat'...

    Treatment for new decking

    http://www.screwfix.com/p/thompsons-water-seal-clear-5ltr/52043?cm_sp=Search-_-SearchRec-_-Area1&_requestid=128042 I'd suggest jet washing the decking prior to applying two coats of this. Let it dry and apply with a brush on the exposed ends, and roller it on the top surface.
