Tbh I think I'm going to buy another fill valve with a brass connection I'm having no end of trouble trying to reconnect it, it keeps going on at an angle no matter what I do I think the threads worn.

I'm in the process of putting the toilet back in and noticed the silicone or sealant that was around the flush valve is peeling away. Can I put abit of 820 sanitary silicone around it and leave it 24 hrs to cure?

This doesn't look good, alot of rust. Is it worth taking a few radiators off and flushing with a hose? Drained it all down this is the best pic I could get without having a fountain of water, I'm wondering if that black tvr would fit as a replacement.

Radiator seems to be filling up again. Got all the water out then turned it off to have a look later and it's draining water again.. ..... I've worked it out I thought the lockshield was the same as an iso valve so was only turning half the way, I've turned it fully clockwise and it's stopped

I'm waiting for the tiler to reply he's used charcoal grout for the floor more annoyed as I chucked a load of it away that had gone off after he finished. So if I used toupret filler could I then paint it the same colour as the wall to blend it in? The tiler has got some of the charcoal grout...

Thank you ill use a marker pen to hide the little bits of adhesive. So for the gaps around the back of the trim it's best to use grout?

The plumber from a few years ago took the small radiator out and replaced.

We've just had our downstairs bathroom tiled and the tiler has cut the same tiles to be used as a splashback. The left side looks fine with the edging, but the right side the edging isn’t quite covering the tile and you can see the adhesive slightly. I’m going to silicone the back & sides of...

Thank you once again!! I'm going to pick up a plumb tub in the morning. To refill it's the black valve in the pics further back? My only concern is the towel radiator in the upstairs bathroom I've no idea which ways off so ive turned them both anti clockwise.

I'll have a look tomorrow. So turn off all tvrs on other radiators & the one I'm working on then drain that down and I should be able to have a look what reducers Inside? Also hoping if I undo and have a look how it's connected I can seal it back up again.

With the bottom pipe being push fit again I take it any 15mm tvr and lockshield should fit? Possible looking at something like this

I wasn't sure how to do it and would I have to drain the system? Or can i isolate the water and change them?

After painting the radiator black,can we switch the current tvr to a black one? Is it just a case of getting a 15mm one? Our current one is a myson petite Other than changing it I can paint it and maybe use a white pen to keep the markings.

With regards to solvant weld ive seen some vids suggesting to only cover the connecting pipe, where's some say to put SW on both parts?

Yes I've had abit of a play and come up with this... Hoping it's okay I'm going to weld the bottom 45s but can't do the rest until the tiles are done Friday.

Thank you yes saw the metal end and wasn't sure. I've cut the pipes, the cold is still a problem but it fits just underneath the waste pipe going to the trap. I might have to change the pipe at the bottom from going to the corner towards the front

Can I just check are the 15mm pipe supports supposed to go in? It looks abit tight and I thought I'd check. Or is it ok to just use the ISO straight on with olive? It's got me slightly confused as the picture looks like it's got a pipe connector in

I think I understand now yes the pipe is 10mm. Im off again to screwfix to pick some flexi taps up as I can use the shorter ones once I've done the new pipes. Once again You're a Star (y)

I ended up getting the 10mm reducers, for the coupler as the 15mm were too big. I'll watch a few vids as I've not used this type of connections

I did wonder about the links not opening thought it was my phone. https://www.screwfix.com/p/hep2o-plastic-push-fit-stem-coupler-f-10mm-x-m-15mm/7947f?ref=SFAppShare Yes the stems and key are the same just checking the couplers are the same. I'll get the key it'll come in handy for future...
