Hello I'm moving a radiator a few feet and have been researching on the internet. I'm fairly confident I can DIY it but have found various methods. A couple of questions please? 1. What is best ... to drain the system or freeze the pipe? The freezing method does sound easiest. 2. Are...

Hello First thing many thanks for the tutorial in "Wall and floor tiling basics" it really is helpful. I am replacing the chipboard floor with ply prior to tiling. I'm having problems finding 25mm ply but 18mm is readily available. I was thinking of adding more batons/supports between...

Hello I've made a black natural granite shelf for the bathroom basin sink to sit on. It looks quite nice but it needs sealing. I've looked at various products and they are either mental expensive and/or far too much in quantity for my needs. All I want to achieve is water repellant, darkening...

many thanks for the reply Mick

Hello I'm fitting a wall mounted toilet and frame. Straight foward so far :) I have noticed that when the bowl is eventually fitted it will sit about and inch and half higher than the previous toilet. I have tested it/sat on it and it doesn't feel any different, infact it's fine. The...

Hello I'm refitting my bathroom and in the process of removing all the old stuff. I intend to hide all the pipe and drainage when I fit the new stuff as I'm going for a minimalist kinda look. I've noticed that the sink and bath have their own seperate drainage running into different points...

Hello ... just got a good deal on a roll top bath. It's acryilic and psuedo victorian in style. It's not got any feet. So I need to get some from somewhere. I'd prefer to have wooden blocks/feet that I have seen on some baths, giving them a modern twist. I'd appreciate a bit of advice...

Thanks for the reply. It's only a small area and I spose waiting for it to mature is the obvious solution. But I would like to gee it along a bit :)

Hello I've recently had a new boiler fitted. When the old boiler was removed it left a hole on the outside wall. I easily matched the Scotch Common bricks as they are quite common. I'm quite pleased with the end result. However, the bricks and mortar have a chalky/dusty look to them...

Hello I'm planning on fitting a basin sink a nice oak table/shelf in the bathroom. I want to hide the pipes and drainage as much as possible so I'll be hiding them in the wall, no problems there. The only problem I have is concealing the ubend. I've seen the neat looking chromed ones, but...

Hello Thanks to the forum I fitted my shower pump yesterday. I believe it went quite well. My only slight concern and I'm probably being premature here. I fitted a Surrey flange. Of course when I was taking out the old flange etc there was quite a bit of water and I had to syphon off the...

Hello We have a porcelain bathroom sink that we quite like and it's perfect for our bathroom. However, it's a pale yellow and not right for our recent decorating scheme. We have shopped around to find an identical replacement, but no joy. Therefore I would like to spray it...
