Ah I see. The cable isn't interfering with the float valve though as it's normally on the other side, and the toilet doesn't refil even if I've lifted the lid and everything is out of the way when I flush. Looks like a replacement of B & E may be needed?

Thanks Rosie. Can I ask why that needs to be done? Was it installed the wrong way around? The flap thing at the bottom of E def isn't resealing properly as I managed to have a feel around and could push it down and shut properly.

Hi all. I have a problem with my loo. It was fitted about ten months ago and has been fine up til about 2 weeks ago. It was a cheap trade screwfix one. Problem is toilet is running after long flush. (short flush was ok, but that has stopped working now) The push button won't rise up...

Hi, thanks. So do I need to be pushing the blade into the side where I have arrowed (but in the middle) or the part of the bead next to the glass? Any do I really need to force it in there? I'm worried about breaking something. Many thanks.

Hi Could someone let me know if I'm trying to remove the beading on this door in the right place. I've marked where I am trying to get the blade into, but it's extremely tightly fitted, and I'm getting nowhere. Do I need to use a fair amount of wellie?

Thanks for your reply. My heating is on at the moment so I can't check if the radiators get warm when I run the shower, but I will later. I've just tried running the shower with the cold tap in the sink basin running, and it's defintely hotter, but not hot enough for me to want to get in it...

In the last week (since the start of this really cold weather) my shower only gets warm at best. Before this I was having piping hot showers. I have a combi boiler and the water to the kitchen and the bathroom basin is fine, lovely and hot. The shower is a Mira element and stands above...

Thanks all for your suggestions. The worktop is square edge. The friend who did is 120 odd miles away but he'll be up again in a month so I'll ask him to either help with the offcuts or use an oak strip.

Hi I've come to a complete stop in installing my kitchen, and can't go any further until I solve my problem. I have oak worktops which are lovely. A friend visited to cut them to size (to fit the width of the units exactly), and he did a really nice job. The problem is that I failed to...

Thanks for your fast reply. I'll try mixing it as you said. I'm really hoping to get it down tonight so I can do the sealant tomorrow and finally have a bath the day after!

Afternoon. I've just started to grout the tiles around my shower using unibond anti mould power shower grout. The instructions said 1 part water to 4 parts grout. I used a tub with a line drawn on as a measuring jug, measured the water into a bowl first, then added the grout. I could...

Thats brilliant. Thanks both. No mould or condensation in either rooms, so will do with those then.

Morning Just had my kitchen and bathroom boarded and plastered. I don't like shiny or sheened walls so can I use normal emulson paint for a mist coat, and then would it be fine to then use normal white emulson for the ceilings and dulux diamond matt for the walls? If not what would you...

Hi thanks for your reply. I know that it can cost from £700 to £1000 each if I replaced them,so was hoping renovation would be cheaper. Many thanks
