I have only become aware of the differences between silicone sealants so want to make sure I use the correct ones when I redo a lot of the sealant in my bathroom. My main issue is what to use to seal around the shower cubicle which is anodized aluminium. Should I use a neutral, non acidic type...

With regard to the attached pictures, is it an easy job to remove this glass shower panel? Is it a case of removing the top and bottom clamps and then easing it from the seal along the right hand edge. The shower was installed around three years ago and I have just read in the fitting...

The gap is about the thickness of a £2 coin, perhaps a little more. (See photos). However, this gap tapers off to nothing at the ends of the frame. I am considering using white sealant on the outside as I think this will look better. The area of mould seems to match up with a badly applied...

I had a new shower cubicle installed (not very well with hindsight) a couple of years ago. I recently noticed there was mould behind the clear sealant between the shower tray and the bottom frame. This is on part of the curved area and at a point where there is a small gap between the frame and...

It's on the top edge, external to one of the glass panels so dry side. Yes, I was gravitating towards paint. Had a look at car touch ups in Halfords and there are a couple of candidates for a good match. It will be easier to do with the glass out so a good chance to clean around the glass seals...

I have some small areas of corrosion on an anodised aluminium shower surround frame. I think these have been caused by soap/bathroom cleaner getting trapped under a section of sealing strip. I have cleaned them out and they are similar to stone chips on a car. I want to fill these will something...

Four years ago we started hanging some 16" half round baskets along a fence. For the first two years we had a really good display with plenty of flowers. However, the last two years have been disappointing with sparse growth and a lot less flowers. The plants are always bought from the same...

Apart from the new phone requiring an update to the installed Samsung Switch app before it would import any data, all went well thanks.

OK thanks. I will give it a go.

So I would do the transfer before moving and cards over? The new phone is SIM free.

Just bought the other half a new Samsung Galaxy phone to replace her old Galaxy. The SIM and SD card are the same size so we will just swap them to the new phone. Will this transfer everything across? We will make sure that any pictures in internal storage are saved to the SD card but is there...

Thanks. Can't see any Alexa skills that I would ever want though. Only use it to listen to Internet radio or Amazon music and as a dynamic photo viewer. However, I think I have managed to disable the notifications locally but if that hasn't worked then I will have to get the app.

I want to disable shopping notifications on my Echo Show 8 so that my other half doesn't see any gifts I have bought her. When I ask the question online, it says to do this via the Alexa app that I used to set the unit up originally. However, having a screen, the Echo Show can be set up without...

Can anyone give me a rough idea of the cost of an annual service on a Worcester Bosch Greenstar boiler? Our boiler was installed some years ago and has been serviced by a WB engineer every year since then. We have a service contract, the cost of which has been creeping up and is now around £50...

Well well! Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water as they say. As mentioned previously, my estimated gas useage on my statement was £5600. I did mention this to Octopus a while back but they said not to worry about it as it was not used to set monthly payments and it would...

Thanks for the advice. I will check.

Right. I had thought about No Nails but thought this stuff might be better. However, reading the small print, I think it is pretty much the same but a bit dearer. I'll go with No Nails then as I already have a new cartridge. Thanks.

Some coping stones on my low garden wall have come loose but not all of them. The ones that haven't come loose cannot be persuaded to come off and the cement course under the loose stones is not in a hurry to come off either. Therefore, to refit the stones without removing the cement course I...

I have seen various tips on how to do this and many suggest using a pressure washer. However, I have also read that using a pressure washer can damage the wood and can wash out preserver from pressure treated timber. After cleaning, I will be applying a wood treatment but want to get the fence...

My wife has been trawling the web a bit more and though she had found what we wanted. However, when you go to the sites, the liners have been discontinued. However, found plenty of rolls of jute for making up liners so might make a cutting template for my baskets and make my own liners.
