Hi, I'm after some advice on painting the rendered blockwork wall in our back garden. The previous owners have tried at least a couple of times but, as you can see from the picture, they haven't been very successful. The top layer of cream coloured paint is pealing off in large...

I'm looking for some advice for re-tiling a corner shower enclosure. I'm replacing the shower enclosure, and when I started taking the old one down it became apparent that the tiles were very badly fitted and were falling off in places. I've stripped them all off and now need to re-tile. The...
