Hi, Stupidly splashed white paint on metal tile trim and only realised when I smudged it. Any tips on getting rid of this without affecting the black trim? (Paint is zinesser mould resistant paint)

Hi all, Looking at buying an L-shaped bath double hinged screen. Just wondered if anyone has any experience or thoughts on these? My main worry is that it looks like the only point of support is at the wall. But the hinge section where there's most 'swing' force doesn't seem to be supported...

Hi guys, I was going to tile to the side of the bath panel but as the panel is a snug fit (box at the end of the bath and is a corner bath), I was thinking it may be hard to remove the panel if I do so. What do people normally do? Just silicone the side of the bath and paint the wall there?

Hi all, Finishing stages in bathroom Reno and only realised the wall is not square. Got a tapered gap at the back of the vanity and wondered anyone had any ideas on any quick and easy solutions please? (I.e. not rebuilding the wall so it's square?) Gap at the top is approx. 9mm

Plumbers fitted this and says it's the most it will screw on. Is it ok for the tread to be exposed like this?

Cuts far from perfect as you can see but wondered if this is ok if I fill on with caulk/flexible wood filler?

Hi, I know, I should have double checked but partner bought the basin bowl she wanted and only realised the hole on our vanity unit is too big for the fitting. The bowl should sit on this silver plate, waste pipe going down the hole and then clamped to secure. Problem is the holes too big and...

Hi, I read so many people say glazed tiles don't need sealing but the instructions on the box to say seal before grouting. Just wondering if there are any recommendations for a sealer please? Tiles in question...

Hi all, Plumber has cut the shower feed pipes flush with the wall brackets with the connectors on. Afterwards, I noticed on the instructions for the shower, it says to just proud of the brackets and then the connectors go on at a later stage. Any chance the manual is wrong? Or get the...

Bought these porcelain tiles from Wickes and have given them a good scrub with scourer and HG intensive cleaner and warm water to try and get rid of any transport wax. Every time it dries, it still looks a little hazy/dusty. Looks nice and rich in colour when wet. Is this normal and only way...

Hi all, I've installed Hardie backer boards in our bathroom and tanked using mapei waterproofing kit. Just wondered if I still need a primer to plaster over this? (Plaster section won't be in a critical wet area)

Hi, Due to walls of the bathroom not being square, I had to build out one side of it. This resulted in a thin edge protruding out. I was thinking about tiling just past where the shower screen would be and then plaster the rest - or can tile all the way round. But I was wondering what the...

Hi, Couple of questions please: 1) originally, I was going to use 12mm hardieboard for around the shower niche but trying to use 6mm instead as my leftover piece of 12mm got wrecked by the kids. As can be seen from photos, the gap is quite big and was hoping to have one tile to fit the space...

Hi, all, got a couple of areas where Hardiebacker cracker off (my fault I know). But wondered if it's best to: A) use their scrim tape, and fill it it deeper when I go to to do the joints with tile adhesive B) find small bits of board and patch fix it with adhesive/filler C) just use toupret...

I have a thin cavity wall. So the plastic end of the elbow joint will be flush with the Hardie board. Is this ok? I see normally it should just be the copper pipe through the HB board but I was hoping I can just make sure the hole is big enough and as there'll be adhesive and tiles to go, the...

Hi, Done one wall of Hardie backer and realised the walls not square. This leaves a little gap on one of the walls (depending on which wall I square it). I was hoping that as normally, you'd tile over the bath lip, it may help cover the gap. Tried placing a tile against the wall and I'm...

Hi all, I was going to add a vertical noggin to the paramount wall to help support the shower screen. Is it best to simply screw through the Hardie backer (12mm) and into the noggin. Or make a hole into he Hardie and noggin and use a wall plug?

Hi all, just dry fitting my bath tubs and shower. Just wondering how to position the water feed to the shower thermo bar? The stud is near middle of the bath so works well with the overhead shower column - assuming this needs to be screwed into the stud. But then I have a problem in where...

Hi, Installation manual says to apply 6mm Hardie backer onto plaster, it's best to find where the studs are. I'm doing a shower niche which is built between the studs. I was thinking of putting. A small piece (370mmx310mm) of Hardie backer straight onto the plasterboard. As it's a bedroom on...

Hi on my bathroom wall which is part of an external facing wall, it seems like it's a mix of masonry and plaster. So wondered whether to use internal filler or masonry filler like this please? https://www.screwfix.com/p/toupret-masonry-repair-filler-1-5kg/572pp
