The toilet seat I need to replace is on a back to the wall WC, which does not allow access to the fixing nuts on the underside. The WC is cemented in place, and I do not want to remove it to get at the seat retaining nuts. Is there a seat which can be fixed from the top of the pan, using...

The existing sink drain 1.5" is set into a saucer like depression, which is 4.75" maximum across, which seems to suggest that it is capable of taking the larger drain size, without water not draining away. I think Q-max cutter would be the best and safest option, but where would I buy or...

I want to fit a 3,5" strainer type waste to my existing sink, which means I have to cut a larger hole. How can I do this, and what tool will I need please

I am trying to find a bath to fit in a narrow space between a bathroom door and the wall. The length of the space is 1700mm, but the width of the space is only 660mm. I have found an Ideal Standard Spacemaker, but am not too keen on the wedge shape. Does anybody know of a normal shaped...

Dear Agile I don't appreciate your put down comments, I am looking for help. Why do you suggest putting two valves on the pipe work, when the original equipment was effectively one. It only turned off the central heating anyway. If you put two valves on you would possibly be turning...

Dear Agile Thanks for the response re two gate valves to replace jammed manual diverter valve. Surely, as the pipework is supposed to supply both hot water & central heating, or just hot water, there is no need to fit two gate valves, only one. At no point should you need to turn both...

I have just inspected a jammed SERVOWARM manual diverter valve, which is jammed in the open position, so that hot water and central heating are both working. These valves, I think, are obsolete. Or can you still get them ? Perhaps I could simulate hot water only, by inserting a full bore...
