The paint is used is Ronseal Doorstep Paint. It doesn't appear Sandtex do a doorstep paint. Which kind would I go for?

Hi everyone My back door step is made of concrete and I have painted it with doorstep paint but after less than a year it is all peeling off. That's the bare concrete you can see underneath in the photo. Is there any way to prepare the surface before repainting with doorstep paint, or should...

My mum has just had her new bathroom fitted and her plumber has now gone away for the New Year, so she can't get in touch with him. I thought I would post on here with what seems to be a very unusual problem! She has had a new bath and sink installed, with a shower over the bath. The toilet...

They certainly weren't careful workers - it has taken us months to put right their various mistakes. :cry: Everything they did was a bit of a bodged job, to be quite honest. It has taken us four months (since completion) just to get the work signed off by building control. I don't know off...

The previous owners of our house had those little self-adhesive sticky hooks which you use to put up nets. They had attached them to the uPVC frames of the windows and although we've removed the hooks, there are sticky brown marks left behind. We've tried baby wipes, orange oil, white spirit...

I'm no expert, but I believe this is fairly standard. When we had our central heating re-done five years ago, the plumber said they always leave one radiator without a thermostatic valve, so that if the heating's on, the hot water has somewhere to go and circulate - so if the heating's one, we...

We had just finished our brand new kitchen and the paintwork had been touched up, so we were really proud of it. :D We thought one of the walls looked a bit bare so decided to buy one of those kitchen roll holders as we were limited on worktop space (small kitchen). My partner set about...

We were still painting last night, so a bit delayed! :shock: Carpet goes in on Friday morning. Glossing of skirting boards, staircase strings, spindles and door frames was finished early hours of Tuesday morning. Is three days long enough? :? What can I do to speed up the drying process...

We are glossing our skirting boards and having carpets fitted on the 18th and 19th. We had intended to do it well in advance to give the gloss time to harden, but decorating always takes longer than you think it will and we're going to end up doing it on the 11th and 12th instead. This gives...
