I have had a new bath fitted but pulling off the old tiles pulled away some of the plaster on 2 sides of the bath on the exteneral walls. See my photo here: I spoke to a plasterer who quoted £80 to do it. He said he would do a rough plaster layer, let it dry and then a fine layer on on...

I would like some Pier Caps that look like these and in the same size: http://www.metalmaniafabs.com/image_library/library/m/met/metalmaniafabs.com/orig_DSCF1870.jpg Do any of the main builders merchants stock them? I would also like the same bricks used for the pillars, anyone know...

In the video he just calls them "Special lugs". There is one type for the bottom panel and another for the top panel. I would like some. See: http://youtu.be/s4SHYM52vhY?t=2m11s

My cold water pressure is OK (all cold water taps are off the mains) but the hot water from the hot water cylinder tank is weak pressure all around the bungalow. I just want to increase the pressure of the hot water from the water cylinder (which is about 18" off the floor in the airing...

I have just had a new hall carpet fitted but the fitters had to take off the door to the toliet room. :oops: I want to change all the internal doors anyway (they are currently totally flat and a dark wood effect) and I would like to change them to modern white 6 pannel doors that you'd...

I notice that the Grohne 1000 thermostatic mixer showers have "Built in non-return valves". Does this mean that I could legally use it with: Cold water: from the mains. Hot water: from tank (possibly add a pump to it)?

I would like a new toilet with a concealed cistern to fit the recess (shown in my photo) and to hide the pipes. I want it to look posh but for as little money as possible. The recess is W660mm x D240mm. I have seen toliet units of 600mm wide but that would leave a space down the...

I live in a bungalow that has terrible hot water pressure. We don't have a proper shower only a rubber hose connected over taps. The water flow from it at shower height is 2 to 2.25 litres per minute. All of the cold is off the mains, there is a hot water cylinder tank and gas boiler...

I need to paint some skirting boards but I have heard somewhere that some white gloss paints go yellow quite quickly. Does anyone have a recommendation for a very good gloss or silk paint that is readily available from DIY stores at a reasonable price, will stay white, and is easy to use...

I have a bungalow 7m x 11m. None of the internal walls are load bearing. I am told the existing foundations might support a second story. How much would you expect it to cost to take the roof off, add a story, and then put the roof back on?

There isn't a shower in the bathroom so I am starting from scratch. I want one with lots of power like a hotel. My hot water pressure in the bungalow is terrible, but I am told the cold water to the bathroom is coming off the mains. An electrian has told me that it would be very easy for...

I have a bungalow but there isn't enough height space in the roof to convert the loft. I was wondering about whether it is worth taking the roof off and building upwards. The internal depth of the house is about 20' 7". Could I even put a roof on with a steeper pitch?

I live in a bungalow and I have a old single door opening in the living room onto the back garden. I would like to replace the old door with UPVC mahogany French doors with a width of 1300mm to 1400mm. Obviously, the existing doorway would need to be made wider on one side, and a new...

This is my first post and I'm a novice so please excuse me. I live in a 1970s bungalow, the floor is concrete with plastic tiles stuck on top. I have seen some flooring that I like the look of...
