    Hi, we have this corner bath (see photos). The side panel cracked over a year ago, and we had to remove it anyway to lay flooring. Where can we find a replacement. There doesn't seem to be a model number anywhere on the bath, or panel. Also the jet covers and eyes are all missing. Where can...

    Leaking chimney. Flashing fixed. Ceiling fungi. What now?

    When the roofer came, it turned out it wasn't flashing that was fixed, the flashing was all okay. He said there were massive holes in the chimney itself, so he cemented it. He has supplied pictures I had already removed the mushroom before I saw your post below. We have since removed all the...

    Boiler Pressure Stuck at 0.4, won't turn on. Glow Worm 30cxi

    Thanks guys, after leaving it at 0.7 for the morning and letting the family have showers, it is now at 1.0. Is it right that it goes up hours after I was releasing? Is it right that the pressure release valve is so loose? It looks like it should be stiff?
