OK sorry if I havent explained properly. I ordered a bath panel at 1200 but it is too small. The bath shape is a corner bath. The two straight edges which go into the corner are equal measurements of 1200 mm. The front of the bath is a straight forward curve. I dont know how to get the...

Even if I was to make one - I'd still have to know the measurements. Anyone able to help please?

Hello The taps (plastic) are missing from the connectors on the filling loop and there is a rubber gromit missing - identified by Homeserve. They want to charge me the earth to replace. Can anyone tell me where to order these parts please? The boiler is a Vailient EcoTec. Many thanks. George

Hello 5 years ago I had the interior of my dads bungalow skimmed. Two years on we had really bad rain that penetrated an external wall and came into the bedroom. We used a dehumidifier and eventually it dried out. But some of the plaster became damaged with sort of raised bubbles in a few...

Thank you. Appreciated.

Hello I have to redecorate my fathers bungalow. He has lived there for 5 years and it was freshly decorated for him. He mainly smokes in the one room - between 20 and 30 per day. Is there anything I should do to treat the surfaces before painting? Also, all the woodwork is oil bound gloss...

We used an SDS drill. The house was built about 1948. My husband suspects that the lintel could be concrete as he said dust was coming out when drilling (but I guess that could be the plaster). We probably used the wrong drill bit. What is the best drill bit to get. Also, the curtains...

Thank you - appreciate your response. The back wall is aqua board - I think this is the same as hardiebacker. I will put hardiebacker on the floor and tape the joins. Which tape should I use?

Thank you. The wall surface is plastered rendered. We have no idea what the lintel is made of. The patio doors are very old metal framed sliding doors. I'd say the lintel is definitely not wood because we hit the lintel but the drill bit didn't penetrate it.

Hello I am getting ready to part-tile the bathroom and would appreciate some advice on preparing various areas. At the top of the bath I have created a small stud wall to hide the shower pipes. The face of the wall is Aquaboard so I know I am good to tile on this. The side of the stud wall...

Hello I have been having trouble fitting a wooden curtain pole above patio doors. Finally got the pole up but a week later the fixings have come out of the wall and the poll fallen down. I used the screws and raw plug that came with the pole. There is a lintel above the patio doors. I'm...

Hi We've got a bit further now. The instructions say 'lubricate the rubber seal before conecting to the toilet'. Lubricant not supplied, please use a suitable plumbers grease. I've had a look on-line screwfix but can't see any product. Can anyone give me a link or product name? Many...

Pads?

The cistern sits inside a mdf unit.

Yep, lol, I did mean cistern. Just taking pics now.

Hello We have just had the downstairs loo walls done with dot n dab onto brick wall. We now need to fix the water systen which obviously needs to go through the plasterboard. We don't know whether the fixing has to go in really deep to get a fix on the brickwork or not. Please can someone...

Thanks. I didn't read the manufacturers instructions. All seems well at the moment, no loose tiles. I shall make sure I read the MI in future.
