Water comes out of shower fine but the drainage function has just stopped. This has happened before and a plumber fixed it immediately. However, I didn't ask them how they did it because at the time there were several other problems with the shower. I've tried long pressing the shower button...

In my shower wetroom there's a tiled cabinet attached to the wall that is used to store a shower pump. This cabinet is rotten through on the inside and needs to be removed and replaced. It's a council property and workmen and scheduled to come round in a few days to knock it down. The thing is...

Hi all, I was hoping I could get some thoughts about the ceiling in this airing cupboard. I'm suspecting possible Artex based off its appearance and the building's age. The area in the lefthand corner looks uneven and different. I remember that corner looking patchy when I first moved in...

I'm cleaning the plastic pipes underneath my kitchen sink and would like to remove this white plastic part. I've tried twisting it and pulling but that hasn't worked. Would this part be detachable or is it integrated? Thanks.

These circles go along the piece of wood above the window recess where the curtain pole is attached. I was wondering what they are and if they can be removed. Thanks.

The left image shows hot water the right image shows cold water. In both images the handles are turned the same amount but the hot water comes out in a narrower stream that splashes water outside the sink and it stays narrow even when fully opened. I would like to adjust the hot so that it flows...

I'd like to buy an individual box spanner rather than a set of them to remove this backnut from a small bathroom basin. What size box spanner would do the job? Thanks

The water is draining slowly during use and leaving a large puddle. I've tried: liquid drain unblocker, a drain snake and boiling water, two packets of baking soda and white vinegar, but nothing has worked. Could it be a problem with the pump not the drain? I remember having a similar problem...

Hi, in the bathroom where paint is flaking off the walls there is green paint underneath. As it's an older council property I was wondering if this wasn't old paint which might contain lead. It seems odd to have had bathroom walls painted pale green. Is this even paint or something else?

A plumber came round to check a radiator that wasn't working and turned off all the radiators which fixed the issue. Now I'm noticing that the combi boiler and all the radiators are making a continuous whooshing sound even when turned off. How do I fix this? Thanks.

Is there a way of preventing mould from forming inside the overflow hole and what is the best way of cleaning mould that is already there? Would it be fine to use a mould remover spray and are they generally recommended for use in and around hand wash basins (on tiles above etc.)? Thanks

Hi, I need to remove this light fitting as I want to clean the inside of it. Do I simpy press the button to detatch and will this make it all come off straight away? Or is there something else I will need to do? Also, is it straightforward to reattach? Thanks
