Many thanks for reading. Can anyone possibly suggest a way to either *fairly easily* remove a tile "border/frieze" (tiles approx 2.5 inch x 5 inch; one line of tiles; 25 total tiles in border) from my bathroom wall, or else conceal it somehow. The border is a ghastly shade of green in an...

Many thanks for reading. Would anyone be able to offer some advice? Basically, due to the passing of my father I am having to sell my mother's house so that she can downsize. The final room/job to complete before putting the house on the market is her bathroom -- which has a horrible avocado...

Footprints, many thanks indeed! I will give this a whirl for sure -- as you say, little has worked thus far, so perhaps it's now time for something as limescale remover. Thanks again.

Many thanks for reading. Basically, having re-grouted/re-masticked my bathroom and around the bath itself, everything looks bright and shiny white... except the stubborn stains on the bath itself. I have read the odd forum on how to remove stains/scum/this kind of thing from baths/sinks, and...

Great advice, John! I will give that a whirl for sure. And you're not wrong -- it feels about as rewarding as forced labour in a Siberian camp. :)

THANKS A LOT, JOHN, FOR THE ADVICE. And you're right about grinders having a mind of their own! ;)

Thanks so much for this, DIYHomefit! What you've written certainly provides a lot of food for thought and information I'd not been aware of. It's very interesting, too, what you say about tolerances, something I was completely oblivious about. Many thanks again. Simon

Many thanks, Ladylola! That gives me a few ideas for sure. Simon

Many thanks for reading this, first of all. I just wondered whether someone could point me in the right direction? Basically, my father died quite recently and I'll be readying my mother's house for sale in the next few months. The house is in reasonably good nick, but the roof tiles look...

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS, ALAN -- THIS IS MASSIVELY USEFUL AND SO GREATLY APPRECIATED. SIMON

Many thanks for reading my post. Basically, I am trying to replace a series of old kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts (replacing the doors/fronts only, I mean, as opposed to the whole cabinet "carcass"). Thinking that it might be as easy as going into B&Q -- which I did -- and giving...
