Thanks, glad I asked, I'll get some dedicated mirror adhesive.

Am getting a mirror about 800mm wide by 600mm high, probably 4mm thick. Also need to put a demister on the back in central section about 300mm wide and 600mm high. but can put glue on it as well. Will Gripfill do, or do I need to buy special mirror adhesive? Thanks.

I've just had to do this so thought I'd give something back for once. It's a horrible job though so if there's even a slight chance you'll have to take a tile off for god's sake get it off while the cement's still wet... But if like me you don't, this method worked pretty well and left the...

Hi sorry away for few days, haven't done it yet. It doesn't rest on a back wall. The basin is about 550 x 340 in total but the are in contact with the counter top is about 250 x 170mm, so quite a big overhang and mostly at the front. Thanks

Hi, I've tiled a countertop for a basin and am ready to glue it on, but not sure what the best thing to use is? The countertop is marble mosaic (50mm x 50mm with 2-3mm grout lines) but the basin is one like this that does not support its own weight...

Thanks for that. Will I definitely need to take that cracked one out? I was hoping I could just get away with a few coats of sealant. The tiles are on 12.5mm Aquapanel, and are 457 x 305 x 12 mm - and I put them on with Keraquick with Latex Plus, which sets pretty hard. I could probably...

Have just put marble tiles for a shower. Hasn't come out perfect but not too bad and it's my first ever tiling job. - One tile has some quite bad chips in it (max 3-4mm deep), just didn't notice before it went on the wall. Should I just seal it and live with it, or should I fill it with...

Am just doing my finish carpentry white, satin finish. Have been using Johnson's but they're very expensive, so am tempted by the 'Flag' stuff at Toolstation. I know Dulux has had problems with their solvent-based white, but should I still fork out for the Johnstons. Also have a Wickes...

About to start tiling bathroom floor and shower area, and kitchen floor and am spending lots on swish tiles and all the adhesive and cleaners and stuff that goes with them. Will this work: Floor: old floorboards with some ply sections too. Will make sure all roughly level and sound...

This sink looks good in the photos and can't argue with the price. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p84541 But if it's going to be glued to worktops I don't want to have to replace it. Anyone ever tried it? The stainless steel is 0.8mm thick, which is about 22 gauge, but think I read a...

Am building my kitchen and about to fix the base units, but not sure how much drainage plumbing I should put in before the worktops go on and the undermount sink is fitted. The drainage feeds into a macerator in a corner that I'll only be able to get to through a slimline dishwasher (450mm)...

Am doing my bathroom and it's going to be very tiny so thought I'd try to make it a bit classier with some natural stone tiles on floor and in shower. Topps Tiles do a cappuccino marble that's quite nice but they won't come down under 40 quid a square metre for the 305x450ish mm ones. There...

Hello, I've just done my second fix electrics and found that there are some nasty gaps around some of the lightswitches (see the photo). The plasterer should have swept the multifinish over the hole more. What's the best way to sort this out? I'm guessing some sort of filler but...

Have got some double and triple dimmers. Each module just has a common and an L1 and L2. The way my lighting is wired then both the neutral and live comes into the lightswitch back-box. The live needs to be switched with the dimmer, but the neutral wires need to join inside the back box...

First up, what's the deal with trade vs. DIY paints? Travis Perkins will sell me trade paint without an account but I bet it's double what a pro would pay (what does a pro pay for 5L of Diamond?). How come the DIY paints are so much worse? I want the longer lasting paint, but is Diamond in...
