the gap is just over an inch. 3cm - ish. We have the same toilet installed in a different property and that sits flush against a tiled box. What's complicating it here is the skirting. Or maybe I'm just overthinking it and it will be fine with the skirting cut out!

Hi, We have had this toilet installed, but there is skirting board around the room. I was expecting the toilet to sit flush against the wall, but I didn't even think to ask about the skirting board. Is cutting the skirting board where the toilet will be considered best practice? Is there a...

I hear what you're saying, and with that logic, I should expect poor workmanship. The reality is his rates are far from "peanuts"... and I've dealt with many tradespeople: "professional" bathroom fitters/kitchen fitters and no one has ever blown me away. There's always something to correct or...

I'm not confident that the smell will go away once the holes have been covered... it seems to be coming from the white plastic pipe going in the ground.

it's on the ground floor. The hole is around 20cm deep. On the other side is just a wall and the stairs.

thanks all. He isn't a full time plumber, he is a handy/maintenance man. Yes he is being paid for this. Really nice guy and hard worker, but I'm disappointed with the pipe work. I have accepted that a perfect end to end job is never done (no matter how much money you pay, people are always...

Hi, Not sure if this is the correct sub forum, but we've had a new vanity unit and basin installed in our WC. The fitter has left 4 gaping holes around the pipes in the wall. Who would I need to call to get these covered as much as possible. This is currently a big risk and an invitation for...

good to know, thanks guys!

I think it was emulsion

thanks both, will give it a go.

We are getting quick step LVT installed in our utility room. We are now panicking and wondering whether we should've gone with tiling. Isn't a washing machine too heavy to be resting on this floor? Won't vibrations cause issues? Also if there's a leak the water can technically get trapped...

someone accidentally dropped some paint on the road yesterday and I drove over it in the road. It must've been quite fresh as it splattered across the side of my car. I've removed the paint from the body of the car luckily just using my nail. But I'm not sure how to tackle the paint removal from...
