I don't mean to act stupid but do you mean the ballcock or something else which I don't understand! thanks for your reply. Chris

Hi All, In the last month every time we fill the bath within a couple of minutes the pipes in the loft start to vibrate and make a din. The cold pipe to the bath is also connected to the tank and when this is turned on the vibration starts again. The ballcock seems to be functioning OK. If I...

I'm not sure what paint it was and I was told that this would go straight on, evidently not !!

I've just painted the bathroom ceiling with Dulux bathroom paint and it has reacted with the old paint and looks awful, what have I done wrong and more importantly, how can I fix it? regards Chris

Thanks mattysupra, all sorted and good now :D regards Chris

Thanks mattysupra for the advice my shank nail spacing is about what you recommend, but there are only 3-4 places of approx 5"-6" in length that are this gap width, I was thinking of filling them with tile adhesive or silicon sealant, could I not get away with this ? Chris

Go on then, what's the punch line and has it got a recommendation for a sprayer :?:

I've got 10 panels of 6X6 close board fencing to spray before installation, can anyone reccommend a good fence sprayer, I've got a small compressor if needed or an electric sprayer, I don't mind. My budget is up to £40ish Chris

I think this is worth mentioning, if anyones got a 3 cylinder Polo or seat equivalent 2000-2004yr go and check the oil level and make sure it is topped up to the limit, as a friend of mine has found out to his cost :evil: £2k+ if the oil level drops a bit the hydraulic timeing chain tensioner...

If you are going to use SBK brushwood,mix it with washing up liquid and brush it on all the greenery, it takes time and wear 2 pairs of rubber gloves!! It sticks to the leaves and not other plants you might want to protect :oops: also it doesn't blow away/evaporate in the wind. But you are...

I used to put garage bases down and erect pre-cast concrete garages, use mastic on the inside, the panels should touch together on the outside and taper with a gap on the inside, that's where the mastic goes, also knock up some mortar and make a fillet round the bottom of the panels to the base...

Sorry forgot to mention it, :oops: yes I've fitted an extractor and it stays on for about 5 mins after using the shower or bath, this never happened before I redecorated the bathroom and we didn't have an extractor then ! Chris

The 1400cc 8v engine is the better than the 16v as far as head gaskets go, if it does go it usually means overheating so a head skim might be needed, then you've got to get a solid copper thicker head gasket and the whole job will probably cost about £200+. Having said that my daughter has had...

I had thought about condensation, but rightly or wrongly discounted it because it was only on one wall and doesn't seem to feel wet, I've just repainted the offending wall and the door and windows are open and will be for a few hours

Hi All, I've recently finished redoing our bathroom, the whole lot,new suite,shower retiled etc. I've painted the top half of the walls using as always crown/dulux, crown in this case, after a couple of weeks on one wall under a slopeing ceiling the paint started to darken in runs from the top...

Hi All. Quick history ! I have this year fitted a new bathroom,walls down,doorways blocked up/new suite and power shower,retiled,underfloor heating+tiled etc etc. BUT I never expected the hot flow into the bath/basin to be so miserable, :evil: :oops: it's OK until you try to use the headset...

After all the problems we have had with our barcelona and not being able to sort them. also deciding to save up for a replacement boiler, Vaillant, definitely not a baxi .we have tried to ignore the explosive ignition, lucky that the boiler is in the garage !! We have suddenly realised that...

Ssame 'baxi' different day!! I went to supplier to collect door seal and burner box,Baxi had sent the wrong part , instead of a burner box they sent the base plate it is mounted on , after looking at the parts list at the suppliers for baxi we found more than one part under the same number and...

I hope someone can help me , our baxi barcelona is starting to develop faults. The first was a lockout which I found to be the flow sensor corroded from a slight leak from the joint coming off the elbow it was fixed to , a clean up and replacement costing under a tenner sorted it. that was 2...
