Looking to fit a new acrylic bath but will need to drill a couple of holes for the tap bath filler. I assume there's special drill bitsfor this job? Anyone know what these are called or is it just a regular holesaw? Any tips on how to do this... I guess I only get one crack at it :shock:

yeah that's what i'm thinking. it looks like the bath would square up and fit into the corner of the room but i think it may look a bit weird being a double ended bath. then adding a show screen to it is going to make it look even more strange! i mentioned a shower curtain and the missus...

We bought a Henley double-ended curved bath a few weeks back, see pic below: Shortly afterwards my other half said she wants to put it in the corner of the bathroom so we can stick a thermostatic shower above it! Being the type of bath it is the manufacture doesnt make screens to fit this...

We have a Candy built-in, single, electric oven. It looks like a fairly modern model, however, it must be at least two years old as it was in the kitchen when we bough the house a few years back. We removed the oven and put it in storage for a couple of weeks while a new kitchen was fitted. I've...

i was more worried that the ply may not be exterior grade and that it could warp/bubble when the adhesive is spread on to it. the floor is pretty solid/level (new'ish house) so although id have used 12mm i think 9mm would be ok. do yuo think the primer/sealant would prevent the ply (assuming its...

im laying new ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen next week. i've already picked up some flexible adhesive and grout for wooden floors and was planning on purchasing 12mm exterior ply sheets from the local timber mearchant tomorrow. however, a mate at works just told me he has a load of 9mm ply...

thanks for the confirmation, ill print off that build regs document and show it do the fitter when he gets here ;)

I'm having some old wooden bedroom windows replaced with new upvc ones next week. The existing windows are 50/50 split double top openers (see photo below) and i've asked that the replacements are the same so that they're in fitting with the others. Anyhow the fitter just called me confirming he...

We have wooden 4 panel oak veneered doors through out our house. My other half is always going on about how the house would be so much brighter if the top panels were glased, particularly in the kitchen and living room. I've had a look around the DIY stores/chains but couldnt find any glassed...

I'm wanting to replace my old wooden kitchen window and rear door for a new upvc one. The window and door is combine in one large unit/frame, see attached to get a better idea. I'm pretty confident i'm can install it but i'm a little nervous about measuring up accurately. Also, is there any...

I'm looking to replace the internal doors on my property. Ive just gone around measuring up and it seems i have 24", 27" and 30" (all 78" high)door ways. I've got a price on some Oak 4 panel veneered doors (as you'd see in Wickes, Homebase, B&Q, etc but they only have them in 27" and 30". Where...

I purchased a semi frameless glass shower door from Focus DIYT (UK) a while back and just got round to installing it . As I'm fitting it into an alcove I simply bought the door (i.e: did not require side-panels, etc). Anyhow, having just fitted the door it became apparent I was missing a part...

cheers thanks for putting my mine at reset ;)

Are the temprature control keys (ie: + and -) supposed to light up? I've just swapped my old honeywell stat for a Salus RT300. It seems to be working fine but only the LED screen lights up. However, the keys look like they're supposed to illuminate too? I dont know why, but its bothering me :)

We have an old Honeywell thermostat downstairs to control the temprature. Upstairs (in the airing cuboard) we have a digital programable control to turn on/off the c/heating & hot water. We'd like to replace the Honeywell thermostat with a more modern digital model. There's 3 wires (red...

Sorry, forgot to mention... i managed to remove the toilet fairly easily as there was a compression valve already installed.

Hi all, this is my first post on the DIYnot forums so please take it easy on me :) I’ve done a little diy plumbing in the past but I’m still very much a novice. I need to replace a pair of radiator valves and remove a basin/sink in our cloakroom, however, our central heating system is...
