We've just had the bathroom fitted, so the initial thought was an overflow had come adrift or maybe a new pipe joint, as we were running a bath at the time. Took the bath panel off, all the new pipe work was easily visible and all dry, so no problems there. The only other thing I can think of...

A couple of weeks ago we had a leak ( fast drips ), about a cupful of clean warm water dripped through the kitchen ceiling in a short space of time. First reaction was to start lifting the floorboards upstairs to locate source. Couldn't raise the necessary boards without removing cabin bed and...

I'm using BAL Grip - has a green lid. I'll try using this for a couple, if I can pull them off 24 hours later then I'll try something else.

I'm tiling round the bath and shower at the moment with plain white 20 x 25 tiles and have been using BAL Grip adhesive. I've now got to about eye level and want to insert a blue glass border to break up the plain white. This will involve a row of approx fifteen 20 x 5cm glass tiles. What's...

thanks - I tend to use Screwfix as I live about 2 min from their warehouse - looks like Manrose are the economy version, otherwise it's VentAxia or Expelair - any other makes to look out for? Also can you suspend them from the rafters?

I was thinking one that mounts into the plasterboard, but does the ceiling amplify the noise? Also I have open eaves ( i.e. no soffit boxes ) - could I just use some flat ducting to vent it?

Can anyone recommend a quiet extractor fan for a small bathroom - ceiling mounted and venting under the eaves. thanks

Hi - hoping for some advice here See attached pic of my bathroom. A new bath is going right up to the wall and I'm having a shower valve fitted into the marine ply which I'll then tile. The idea is to fit a bath screen, but only tile to where the bath screen attaches to the wall. Q...

Managed to fix another upright 3 x 2 into the wall, I've got six uprights in all to screw into. The whole lot seems pretty sturdy now - I'll still double up on the paltry four screws they recommend for fixing though. Suppose it's not a lot different from a hardwood door weight-wise.

Hmm - i've got a 8 x 4 sheet of marine ply coming tomorrow morning now. :? I'm having a venturi shower mixer fitted so there won't be particularly high pressure water flying about. Received said screen this morning, pretty sturdy to say the least - held to the wall with just 4 x 1.5" size 8...

The batteries have gone on my Black and Decker cordless screwdriver - the replacements cost more than the original tool itself. Is any store doing a good deal around the £50 mark at the moment? I'm not a heavy user so don't need to splash out on a professional tool.

Thanks for the reply. Since the ceiling's probably coming out as well, I may be able to add an extra upright and secure it to a ceiling joist. Can I tile straight onto marine ply?

Hi I'm stripping my bathroom and pulling the tiles off the wall where I intend hanging a bath screen. It's a hundred year old terrace and the wall is a sturdy 3 x 2 partition wall with lath and plaster which I'm going to pull off. Having ordered a hinged bath screen on-line however, I've now...
