I have been advised to try bedec MSP. I have looked and the colours are very close to what our tiles are painted I am just not sure between the 3! There is soft lime gloss, pompadour and lagoon. Also I need to only paint approx 4-5 tiles and so wont need THAT much paint but ideally want to keep...

Well I am happy to say last year we replaced the oven and my dad wired it up and all is well!! Yes we do need to sort electrics in general in the house what with the shower and cooker on same trip switch but it has been like this for years and we havent had any issues (apart from they trip when...

Hiya We have storage heaters in our property which are old and bulky. If we wanted to replace them with newer ones are we allowed to do a diy? There is no heating in the kitchen so none required there, we have an open living room, stairs and landing. There is 1 big and 1 small in the living...

Hiya We have an old cooker hood which I would ideally like to replace. Basically last year while pregnant I broke our old old whirpool oven knob and had to replace the whole oven which was done successfully. Now I need a hob to match as the new oven is black and hob is an old white one :D...

Hiya Our kitchen tiles are a lovely sky blue which were painted by the previous owner. The few near the kitchen sink the paint has become damp and has peeled and so the paint and the seal needs replacing. If I cleaned it all up etc can I patch up the paint without it looking too pants? How do...

Thanks. I will have to try get some from somewhere. Was going to use cable off my old one which is 2.5mm (looks a bit thicker than a bog standard appliance/electrical cable) approx as that is what my old oven is using which is 2.4kw new is 2.3kw. Not sure if that will make a difference...

Okay so I am going to leave this discussion to it I think. Lol. All I know is that my new oven arrives today between 2-6pm and is going to be connected to my current set up and hope for the best. I dont have the cash to have it any other way so just hoping it really works!!! Just not sure if...

Thanks eflimpudence. Thats good to know.

Bit of tweeking? Lol. The junction box is what says 30amp 250v. Do i need to check.the fuse in the main boc/consumer unit to see what that is? So our old oven was running on.this set up anyway soif the 30amp was too much we havent had any problems until i managed to break the knob so should...

Olay I am confused now. Lol. When I have looked at some sites re installation ot states hard wiring required. What will happen if the new oven is connected and wrong amp etc? I know our current oven is a 2.4kw and new one is 2.3kw. How do I find out amp of old oven? Is it safe to swap wire...

So does that mean when my dad fits the oven we need to notify someone a new oven has been put in?!!!

Lol. I totally agree!!! There are other parts available for the oven model but sods law the part that breaks is no longer available!!!!!!!

Thanks I did find information stating it needed hardwiring like the 22300, will try find the link. - I am not sure what current the hob is, the manual I have states 230v 50hz 5kw (not sure if any of that suggests. Lol) - What do you mean by protective device on the circuit at current? Is...

Hiya I am confused. We have a built in oven and hob. Above our sideboard is a cooker flick.switch which we have to flick on to use our oven or hob. Our oven has broken so I have ordered a new one which requires hard wiring. Behind our current oven we have a black circular junction box with a...

The junction box is 250v 30amp. It is running our current oven and hob and as the new oven I want to get is 2.3kw (old is 2.4kw) am I right in saying the junction box is okay to run this?

It is a 2 bed semi detached. Not sure if shower is connected to hob or oven. Basically we have built in oven and hob with a flick switch above sideboard if we want to use the hob and/or oven the flick switch has to be switched on. At back of built in oven (when taken out) we have a black...

Thanks for the reply. I am not too sure how they are connected. If we were needing an additional smaller consumer unit or a bigger one and also if they needed to access the wires if they are connected under floorboards etc or just swap at the consumer unit what could possibly be the costs we are...

Hiya Our shower and cooker are currently on the same trip switch and have been since before we moved here over 5 years ago. We dont use cooker and shower at same time as trips. What posible price could we be looking at to get them put on seperate switches? At the moment on our box from...

Thanks jj4091 - do you mean the cooker and shower on same trip? This has been like this for years (before we moved in) we really dont have the cash to get it sorted as I can see it costing £100's and as I am on maternity we are struggling! Also I need an oven as we dont have any other means of...

Sorry one more question the space for an oven is 61x61x61cm our current oven is 59.6x59.5x54.5cm (HxWxD) would the space we have be adequate for the above oven? Thanks again
