    How do I secure this shower mixture cover on the wall?

    Yes I see what you mean! Yes my part does not have it, maybe mine is an earlier model. I did phone the UK hansgrohe helpline but they weren't much help! I dread to think how much a new cover costs, looking at the price of the whole unit £550..

    How do I secure this shower mixture cover on the wall?

    Maybe a silly quesiton but I've got one of these shower mixers and it keeps popping off the wall, when you press the shower buttons, so water gets behind it. How can I get it to stay securely on the wall? (I'm thinking silicon it on but not sure it'll work...

    Leaking kitchen sink

    Maybe I'm being an idiot but how does a threaded part like that come undone? (Maybe just the pressure of the water). I'll get my friendly neigbour to take a look and save me £150 a plumber will no doubt charge me :D

    Leaking kitchen sink

    Hi, So I'm currently abroad and my place is renated out on Airbnb. A guest messaged me last night to say there was a small water escape in the kitchen. I suspect one of the fittings has come undone. I have two quesitons. I know it's hard to tell, but looking at the photo do you suspect...

    Help refitting Geberit Flush plate

    So I removed my Geberit Flush plate (to have a look behind) and now I cannot fit it back on. It doesn't seem to clip on anywhere. It's an Omega 20 model. Wonder if someone could advice me how to attach it? (I did find a manual online and it shows you attach it from the side, but that doesn't...

    Bamboo not growing in raised planter

    Hi, I had my garden made over a couple of years ago and had some bamboo planted. Some of it was planted directly into the soil and has grown very well. However I also had a raised planter created and it's hardly grown at all, even though it's rained lots recently and I've added fertiliser...

    Front door sagging

    I've noticed my front door is sagging and you have to push it quite hard to shut. It looks like it's leaning slightly from right to left (see photos). I have three pencil hinges (I think they're called looking on google). Each can be adjusted by an allen key at the top and bottom. I tried...

    Wetroom disaster

    I'm having a bit of a disaster with my wetroom. I've separated with the tradesperson who was doing the work after he bodged the tilling. The background. Underboarding the shower former was not an option as there were too many pipes there. Therefore we got a 'Tough-X' which can be placed...

    Worried about holes in joists

    Well the plywood floor, adhesive and ditra mat is now down so to remove this will be a big expense, however I guess a smaller expense than worrying about it. On the toilet it actually backs on to plasterboard which itself backs onto a breeze block wall. So I'm hoping it somehow connected to...

    Worried about holes in joists

    Hello, I've recently had a plumber in to install a wetroom in. He did have some good reviews on a well known website and is gas safe registered. However I've gradually lost faith in his ability to do the job (after many moments of incompetence) so kicked him off the project. The chipboard...

    How to secure floating floor on beam and block floor

    I'm actually now looking at UFH :LOL: I'm looking at something like nu-heat lopromax. Don't need to use screed with it and I can put engineered wood direct on top of it. Yea the flex in the floor isn't really a disaster

    How to secure floating floor on beam and block floor

    I should say I'm not actually planning on doing this myself but I want to be sure the builder is doing it a way I understand. I've attached a photos of the BB floor. If I jump up and down I can feel it bouncing slightly (I've not introduced it). I'm now thinking maybe engineered wood will be...

    How to secure floating floor on beam and block floor

    That's interesting. Well I want to put tiles in the kitchen and solid wood in the lounge. For the solid wood the supplier has advised to use an underlay with glue on it and not to physically nail the wood to the subfloor. Now I have a few more questions (always the way). What are the...

    How to secure floating floor on beam and block floor

    Hi, I had a water leak which meant my existing chipboard floor was removed, along with the insolation and DPM over the beam and block floor. The chipboard wasn't screwed in the concrete and was always a little bouncy. When this is replaced by my insurer should I expect them to screw the...

    Remove floating chipboard floor or overboard with ply?

    Well I already know the floor will be fixed with new, dry chipboard. So how does waiting help the decision process ? I think I'll just use a trial and error approach as the advice on the forum (however well intended) isn't much use.
