Oh...is that a thing? What tool would be best, a Dremel or multi-tool?

Hi All, I've been advised to replace our bath shower screen with a new 'flipper' style one but about half way down the bathroom wall is a tile which has a raised rope twist feature. How do professionals cope with this? Here's a picture of the tile in question. Cheers Daz

Ah...you mean something like this? https://www.diy.com/departments/chrome-6mm-glass-reversible-shower-bath-screen-fixed-panel-1433-x-998mm/5056211824589_BQ.prd

Yes. I'm in the process of removing tiles that have come loose and will also grout where it's missing but need to get rid of the leak first. I'm very happy to get this flipper screen but not quite sure what you're referring to. Could you explain please?

I should add that apparently the Mapei Ultimate Showerproof ready made adhesive I have should not be more than 3mm thick. Well that's not going to work as it needs to be closer to 10mm. Am I going to have a problem and if so, what can I use instead?

I should add that I'll be replacing a piece of timber running vertically from under the bath where the front panel goes to the floor as this has rotted away and allows a bit of flexing which doesn't help!

From what I can tell and pouring a very small glass of water on top of the bath near the taps that water is finding its way behind the area pictured below with a red arrow and dripping down.

Thanks for the reply. If I remove the bottom bracket from the shower screen, give it a huge clean to remove all traces of limescale, etc and then use silicon all around and behind it including where it touches the bath, do you think that'll solve it? I should add that the shower screen is one...

Hi All, I need to stick down one tile in the bathroom that has come away from the floor due to a leak over time. The tile is around 250mm x 150mm and had around 10mm-15mm of rubber based adhesive from 30 years ago. I've managed, with a heat gun, to remove 90%-95% of it but a very thin layer...

Here's a pic (sorry about all the mess and limescale). The silicon deffo needs replacing where the vertical part of the bath meets the tiles as when I press on the bath I can see a crack in the silicon so I'll remove it all and fill again but need a solution to stop the water otherwise it'll...

Hi All, Our bath shower screen is letting water through the edge of the bath (tap end) which then drips on to the floor. I've replaced both seals on the shower screen but it still does it as there's a tiny gap where the water finds a path. Is there anything that can be done or should I just get...

Hi All, Our Beko integrated heat pump tumble dryer is around 3cm taller than all our other integrated appliances and therefore I need to fathom a way of fitting the cabinet door to the hinges they supply by drilling new holes in the door. I already had to remove a decorative pelmet in order to...

Hi All, I want to stick a single gang plastic surface mount box on to a painted interior wall. What grab adhesive would people recommend? The box will only house a single data outlet. I don't want to risk drilling into the plasterboard wall in case of mains cables in close situ. Cheers Daz

Thanks John for the reply.

I should have added that the wardrobe affected is only around 600mm x 600mm x 2.1m tall. The Dimplex model does have a stat on it but is cranked up all the way currently.

Hi All, Our bedroom wardrobe (fitted) backs on to an outside wall and one part of the wardrobe wall had black mould which I've now removed. I've installed a Dimplex 1ft 40W tubular heater at the bottom of the wardrobe. Is this sufficient to keep black mould at bay? Cheers Daz

makes sense!

No. I do want a pan head. Just can't find an assorted bunch of them

yes, pan head...didn't know the terminology. Is there a mixed pack from Screwfix you can recommend for general household usage?

Hi All, Bugle head screws aren't flat and I want a flat base to wall mount a bracket into a wall. So I'll put a wall plug in but now need to know what type of screw I can get that has a flat base. Sounds like a lame question I know but would like some advice as to a mix size pack of these I can...
