Hi Justin.. Shame this is just the pan as I'm in the collection area next week.. The broken tail won't come out, it's stuck in solid . The diameter with it in is 90mm and 108mm if it wasn't there, the clay collar has a height of 70mm. Could I cut the clay collar to floor level, if so what's the...

Hi guys, We were wanting to give our tiny bathroom a bit of a make over. The first project is a new basin. The current basins depth is around 25cm and it's a vanity. I removed the vanity cupboard as we're keen on a wall hung basin to make the room seem larger However the pipes are coming up...

Hi guys, Just moved into a new house and my wife is worried I'll leave the front door unlocked (which I probably will). She wants me to replace it with something that will lock itself once closed.. I don't really want to pay for a locksmith or drill holes and retro fit self locking locks . I...

Hi guys, I have an old table lamp that's stopped working. The wires are fed through a hole that goes from the base to the top and then connects to a lamp holder at the top. I decided whilst I was at it to change the lamp holder from a plastic one to a brass one for aesthetics. I then brought...

Hi, So we had a leak from the upstairs bathroom that's ended with a big hole in our kitchen ceiling. Inside the hole there's some weird lining. It looks as if at some point there was a fire and one of the joists has been scorched and this has been used to wrap the joist, does this sound...
