Brilliant, something here will surely do the trick! Thanks all

Old one. Foamy!

Thanks all. You weren't to know, but I have tried some of these. The euroflo was too wide, the donut kit was too tall (that's the one I ended up shaving). The amazon option looks interesting, maybe I'll try that next. The one I removed felt like a foamy product rather than rubber and was...

Had a leak from a close coupled cistern on a savoy toilet. All the howto's I've seen replace the donut washer with a lovely domed washer which fits snuggly into a domed recess in the bowl. My bowl doesn't have that, it's pretty flat. As a result if I put a 1.5" donut in it the cistern sits too...

Great, thanks, worked well! I'm not typing "silicone finger" onto my work search engine though... Just in case!!

Thanks. I now know that they are called o-rings and the ptfe temp fix has worked. Not sure how old they are, we've rented the place for 3 years and I reckon the previous owners did it maybe 7 years ago? The orings still seemed nice and squidgy, but I guess they only need to let a tiny bit...

Hi all. I've taken this tap apart to see what's occurring. When installed it leaks just a smidgen at the swivel point when you knock the top section. I was thinking perished washer, but it seems not so. The pohotos show 1-where the leak happens and 2 the top washer which seals the tap chamber...

Hi. The sealant between the sink and the underside of the countertop died! How would you replace it? It's about an 8mm gap all the way round. On the left and right the cabinets form a sort of backing, but pretty far back! At the back there is no backing, just a black hole of mystery. I have some...

makes you wonder why people ask doesn't it?! No, i know my limits. I came here with a straightforward question about a leaky pipe and i'm leaving with a much better understanding of the regs; all for free and no one gets sick! Only £29.99 spent on a bidet gun which i'll put on my church tea...

Actually what I'm willing to do is listen to the advice I've been given! Thanks all, back into the box with it then.

Thanks for the warnings - although a newb to the nuts and bolts I am aware of the legislation (or at least I thought I was) and I was under the impression that it is not a blanket NO, just that you have to have sufficient provisions for non-return. Both the T-valve and the flexi hose have...

Hi all, As a newb to plumbing I thought i'd start small by installing a bidet gun sprayer to the toilet cistern feed! It has been problematic. The only leak I have left (after several leaks) is between the T-valve and the entry to the cistern. Both are male 15mm. The cistern is your usual...

Thanks Ronnie, that's really helpful! I've attached an image here. My frame has holes where the green arrows are, but how does the water get through where the blue arrow is? If I pour water into the top hole it doesn't seem to drain out the bottom one. Perhaps the perforations between the two...

So i have this exact same issue (obviously didn't look far back enough in my search results to find this thread!) Did you drill through in the end? Any ill effects? The difference in mine is that the outer and inner chambers seem to be separated by an internal floor rather than an internal...

Hi all, The bottom rail of my UPVC doors has filled up with water and leaked inwards with the wind and rain we've had of late. There are two small holes in the inner cill, and two larger holes in the outside of the frame. The outer holes are about 15mm lower and 30mm horizontally offset from...
