My shower started leaking from both where the shower hose goes into the unit, and from the bottom middle of the unit itself, when turned on. When it's off there is much less of a leak, but it still leaks a bit. The shower is a Galaxy 2000LX. Could someone help me diagnose the problem and the...

That sounds like a job for a pro. Is this something a window installer will do? As it happens I already needed someone to come out to fill fix a blown window.

I’ve popped the covers off this handle expecting to find standard posi screws only to find what you see in the photo, and I’ve no idea how to tighten these. Does anyone know? Also how do you get the circular white cover off the handle to tighten that hit as well? I broke a blade trying to pry...

The tools in the shed are on the right side (the side with the lean) so maybe that's a factor, although the ground also isn't level because I checked. The other side is all shelving so not ideal for storing garden tools, but I will move some of the stuff over. I think I'll still need to level...

I have two things I need to fix in my garden, and I would like some advice: (1) I have areas in my garden like in the photo where last summer I put grass seed down over what used to be a flower bed. I thought I got most of the bulbs but evidently not! What's the easiest way to get rid of the...

How do I do that?

Yes they are for babies. The whirlpool function is battery powered.

The bath with the corroded battery compartment.

I took this into a gadget repair shop and they couldn’t fix it, so I might have to try myself. If I just pop off the old corroded could and attach a new one that should work? I guess I’ll need to find a specific type of spring and plate? (These are D battery compartments.)

We’ve had a few of these in storage. Opened them up and found severe corrosion. Can they be repaired economically or are they a write off? I’ve attached one image of a hood one, and one of a corroded one.

I actually already have some Danish Oil already. So sand/clean the bannister and refinish with oil on everything?

Great. Will do. And when I’ve got this wax off the bannister (thanks fully I didn’t put it on the wardrobes) what is best to use to restore the wood to a good state? I did clean it prior to the wax (just with hot water though), so I think I’ll need a product of some kind.

Thanks. When you say washing soap do you mean washing up liquid or washing powder (like for laundry) or something else entirely?

Can’t ask the previous owner as she’s ill. They’re a kind of creamy beige. Glossy with angular handles. I might take a door off and pop to B&Q. I can’t think of any other big kitchen cabinet places? Maybe IKEA?

The woodwork in our house is old and faded, and parts of it have marks from mugs, etc. How would I go about restoring the wood in the images? I've tried the simplest thing so far, which is just applying a new coat of protective wax (IIRC it's a carnauba/beeswax mix), and although it improved it...

We bought this house recently and we're desperate for more kitchen storage space, so we want to put up some more cabinets, but of the same kind as is already in there. Can anyone recognise the make/model/type of cabinet from the pictures, or advise on where/who to ask about this kind of thing...

I’ve got everything I need to do the job and tomorrow should be sunny so I’m going to have a go. Couple of quick questions though for anyone who’s done repointing before. I’ve noticed a few strange things about the existing pointing, which you can see in the pictures. Above our front window...

Maybe it's worth me trying to patch the mortar around the window before I get any more serious work done. Would that just be a case of looking out for degraded bits of mortar, digging it out, and replacing with fresh, all round the window?

Can you tell just from the pics that there are no trays? If that's the problem I'll definitely be getting someone in to do the work. What would be a fair price for that kind of job?

Hi everyone, I could really use some help identifying the source of a leak. It's in my kitchen at the point where the old exterior wall meets the extension roof (see photo 1). It's a small leak and only appears after heavy rain. And I can hear a slow drip somewhere above where the leak is...
