I've got an old 50/60's fireplace surround that needs smartening up but the tiles look like they maybe non porous. Any ideas about what undercoat/paint I could use?

Thanks fido....at least I now know what to tell the service engineer

Ive got an indesit washing machine that won't rinse and the latest wash has been going on for 3 hours without rinsing. A lot of suds and it seems as if there's no heat as it's on 90 degrees. It will rinse though if I close the cycle and start with a rinse. Any ideas please? :cry:

Errr....point I'm making is that you have to buy something on credit and make regular payments in order to get a credit history. The point being is that companys like Dell can see your good at repayments. I'm so good I don't make regular payments - I pay credit bills off in one go as to avoid...

Got a leaking tap. Trouble is, it only leaks rarley....heard a drip drip and thought it was the tap. It wasn't but held my hand under the basin where the tap is and caught the drips.Any ideas what the prob is?

Errrrr......missing the point here. Rather don't make yourself look an idiot as opposed to a novice. Clipping the pipes means that they don't move which means putting clips on them...ho hum :roll:

I recently had a Baxi combi boiler installed but it keeps making a continous clicking noise. Should this be normal

Polystyrene is a good alternative

Had a new bathroom fitted but a leak has occurred at the base of the toilet on the left hand side. Any ideas where this leak is coming from and what needs to be done to resolve it? Thanks in advance for any help.

Errrrrr...dunno if anyone can help on this but I've lost my bloody keys to the windows. Do these pvcu windows have standard replacement keys or are they all different? Before you ask....the bloody company went bankrupt! :roll:

Thanks kevplumb but what I'm trying to say is, does the non return valve have any sort of block that would stop the sink waste entering the washing machine hose rather than making a loop.

I've had a non return vavle fitted to the pipe coming off the u bend pipe under the sink. This valve is connected to the washing machine hose. When thw waste from the sink flows out, and passes the non return valve, is there any chance the waste could flow into the washing machine on its way...

thanks for your replies....me thinks that the washing machine hose is too close to the base of the sink trap so ill have to get a larger trap with the hose conection lower down :roll:

Hmmmmmm….I had a problem with Dell recently. They advertised ‘pay nothing till 2005’. Yeah right. I phoned up to place my order, gave them my credit card and bank details. They then phoned back to say I couldn’t have the pay later option because they couldn’t get a credit rating for me. It turns...

I have recently had a new fitted kitchen installed but the plumbing for the washing machine goes directly into the u bend for the sink and an explosion of suds always appear in the sink when using the washing machine. There is about a 2 " gap behind the washing machine.Can anyone tell me if...

Thanks shaggy, but what do you have on top of the chipboard as I'm thinking about either laminated flooring or lino
