Hiya guys, our Laminate needs replacing, it's in a long hallway, laid on cement floor. Floor is in great condition. We went to our local carpet store to buy some Laminate with fitting etc, but was told people are using Vinyl now, wood effect Vinyl, when asked he said it's a lot more durable and...

Hiya guys, I need to cover an area in a room where sanding has peeled old dry paint from underneath, it's only a small area, but I'm not much of a DIY person, whats the easiest way to fix this? I painted over it thinking that would work but it didn't. Someone recommended Polyfilla Spray and a...

Hiya guys, our home is filled with 8 of these cheapy doors, on pricing up new doors it's a fair bit of money and we can't afford to replace them all for a long time. Someone suggested spray painting them white, but wanted to ask people with more knowledge on if this would work or not? It would...

Just had some work done in bathroom that included the whole bath area being re-tiled. The whole job is immaculate, except one wall, for some reason the tiles on this one wall lean in to the right, the tile edge isn't straight going up the wall and it's driving me bonkers, I never did the work...

Ok strange one here, I have a Samsung Laptop that's been fantastic, but a mark has appeared on the left mouse button, none of us press in the area the mark is (we press more to the left) all I can think of is something may have been spilt on it and left, it looks like a wear/scuff mark, and its...

We have a chest of draws we bought couple of years ago, and as with a lot of draws, the bottoms keep falling out, due to use, over time etc. I can't afford a new set just yet, and was wondering the best way to repair them? The plywood seems fine, it just pops out all the time. I did a Google...

We bought a black sofa from Argos about 2 years ago, it is the main sofa, but the arms of the sofa have faded color slightly with people leanging on them etc, the sofa is still as good as new frame wise, and 90% of the fabric is pristine, but the arms are faded a lighter black in areas. My 6...

Need to ask a couple of questions before I start the hallway. - Current laminate has bathroom sealent put into the edge gaps around the hallway, I presume cos the front door is directly in the hallway, so rain etc. I will likely do the same, but how can I easily get the old sealent up? Is...

We have decorated here before (rented house) and never thought much of it, but now we have flaking on the edges of our bathroom woodchip ceiling, I looked at all the other ceilings in my home and noticed something weird. Every single ceiling in my home is woodchip, but around the edge of the...

Hiya guys, living in rented accom, and just decorated the bathroom, put emulsion on the woodchipped ceiling, but when cutting in the edges, someone had gued flakey wallpaper back and it started to come loose in areas, the rest of the ceiling is fine but the woodchip is flaking and peeling at the...

I decided to paint the living room 3 days ago, not a pro by any means, but have done my fair share of painting without issue. I decorated this same room 2 years ago and it was fine. I bought some Dulux Apple White paint, this is the same color that was already on, so more of a freshen up...

Hiya guys, happy xmas, over the festive period we decided it would be fun to powerbomb our 6yr old onto the sofa while playing wrestling, great fun was had by all but there was a crack under the sofa, the sofa is only a year old, and we cant replace it just yet, so I decided to have the bright...

These things are expensive, and I often use them, but noticed after a few uses they totally lose their spray power, and become weak, is there anyways to restore them? to make the air come more powerful like when it was new? I have a can here thats almost new but almost useless.

Please delete, all sorted :D

I just painted my mouse with Krylon Fusion plastic paint, this was suggested to me on another forum. Problem is, 2 days after, the grainy feel of the painted surface starts to wear down slightly, revealing the grey original color underneath, is there anything I can do to make it more...

I have a Vax small cylinder vacuum, and the hose has come away from the end (not the vacuum end, the end that sucks up) I tried to reconnect it but it just falls away, on closer inspection it looks like it was held into the black plastic part of the hose with an orange type glue, is there...

My radiators are getting red hot at the bottom, but staying cold at the top, this is happening with every radiator in the house, any ideas? is it a simple way to fix it myself or should I book repair job

We bought this stupid thing off ebay that keeps insects out your windows, but it required to be stuck around the inner frame, it was velcro strips and you put fabric mesh over it to keep insects out, anyways, it was rubbish so we ended up taking it down, but in order to keep it up, it kept...

I feel stupid even posting about this as they are so easy to fit, usually, but I have a strange problem with ours. We bought a Clothes rotary dryer thingy from B&Q to hang the washing on to dry outside, I have put a couple up at previous houses with no issue, but something is really bugging...
