The plumber said that it's how all these taps turn today. Is that right? Any way to change it?

It's a single hot water tap that is leaking. I took the front cap off but the gap is really small so I am not sure how I get into the tap to change the washer?

Hi When I flush my toilet the water, and even parts of the toilet paper, is coming out from a break in the external concrete stairs that lead to my garden. Obviously it's probably a broken pipe? I don't just want to seal the stairs but deal with the issue. What needs to happen? My home insurance...

I have an Ideal Esprit Eco combi boiler. I turned the central heating off but later I noticed the radiators were warm. I went to the boiler and the central heating was on with "c" on the display to confirm this. The dial was turned to off and definitely not on a timer. I turned it to on and then...

It comes and goes. It’s from the outside pipe that the toilet waste travels in (see attached) It’s blocked a few times but this time the toilet is not blocked. It flushes fine. Why the smell?

My shower/bath and sink share the same drain. No water travels to the sink when the shower is on. However when I have the shower on the water in the sink trap starts to bubble. It doesn't come up the sink but I can see it bubbling away in the trap. Is this an issue with pressure? What would...

Any ideas on how to fix this? As you can see from the second image, you cannot get the screw on one side in due to the missing part. I can't find it anywhere. The walls have been tiled so going to be a pain to replace the entire box..

Mostly in the middle part of the tiles. Best to cover with grout? Could just leave them but worried about safety.

Any ideas? I don't want to have to get someone to replace the door. The door won't close due to the hinge.

Our bathroom sink is slow to drain. It takes about 5 minutes for half a sinkful of water to drain. I did stupidly pour down a bucket of tile adhesive water which we were using for our new kitchen (from the bucket I used to clean the tools while tiling) so I have hope it hasn't solidified...

Hi We removed a radiator in the upstairs bedroom to do some plastering and we will install it a new location later in the summer. We remove all water from the radiator. We couldn't cap off the pipes as we didn't have the right size plugs but planned just to do without central heating, as it is...
