Rather their price than a water softener install.Have you used them yourself?

Due to family, I can't move house. Softeners are expensive to have fitted, take up significant cupboard space which we can ill afford, plus the ongoing cost of filling it with salt. They also need replacing every so many years.

I have a hot water cylinder, the immersion has failed twice already and out of good will they've replaced it. I live in a hard water area total hardness (330ppl) and ultimately the warranty of my cylinder, as well as most manufacturers have terms to the effect of 'must be below 220-270ppl'. How...

Saw this stuff in Homebase, with a lifetime guarantee! I wondered if anyone has used it and if so, how it is? It’s the only ready mixed adhesive that even mentions porcelain tiles.

A decent manual tile cutter (Rubi TX max) can cut porcelain well, cut what about cutting tiles to go around the face of a window cut out? Any tips? Tile nippers don’t give a straight edge, nor do electric wet saws that I’ve seen.

Same issue. Any results for you?

Had some French Doors installed last year and I remember the weather strip along the bottom of the doors kept pulling the strip out from the groove it sits in, so the installed came back, and trimmed it back so it cleared the metal piece along the bottom of the door frame it was catching on...

I’ll be renovating a 60’s bathroom soon and am looking at using 10mm insulated backer boards to increase the thermal properties of the room as a towel rail and need to vent the window after showers and baths means it’s never the warmest room! Is a vapour barrier advisable, or could that cause...

I'm going to be fully tiling the walls in our bathroom and wondered what would be tried and trusted method to giving the external walls extra insulation. Our house is cavity walled with insulation in the cavity, but based on our old house (same construction) the bathroom wall was always cold...

Concrete.

What kind of resin? Something in a silicone like tube?

I fitted a stone resin shower tray and levelled and fixed as instructed on a bed of mortar. Nice and solid to walk in 48 hours later. Have now tiled on to and around it and when stepping on the tray there is a slight ‘rock’ from front to back. Any possible solutions to fix it without removing...

Thank you. Had tested with cold but put 10 x 4 pint milk bottles of hot water down it now. All is well.

No easily no. Base is cemented to the ground.

Advice please. It seals it drains and it’s connected. However it’s slightly off centre with the indent in the tray (nearest to the the camera). Any implications other than water will always sit in that little area?

Does anyone have any makes/types of a C2 based adhesive for dot and dabbing Aquapanel to a brick wall? This info is from Knauf's requirements - I know I have to use screws also.

I've tried an Argos old cheappo electric, and two different Einhell battery powered jigsaws and I just cannot cut a straight line! I've been using it to cut oak floor pieces, the electric one is the 'straightest' but still very wonky, the battery powered ones veer off to one side. What am I...

I'm going with a 10mm expansion gap around the room, but am currently starting at the door way as I want a full plank to start as you come in to the room - mainly for strength as it will get the most hammering! The planks will run from left to right of the door way. I've cut the door...

We've decorated 4 rooms this past year and have noticed there are a few areas that need a bit of TLC. Obviously it would have been easier if we'd have noticed before we'd painted, but we didn't. There's a few bumps from moving things after decorating, as well as areas where the paint/plaster...

No lime based paint, just emulsion and yes it does look like there was no 'mist' coat applied at all. Thanks for the tips!
