    Changing lights to LED - can I increase wattage ?

    How to check for water leaks in bathroom

    I have unscrewed the screws below but I can't seem to pull it out. previously I broke too suction pads to get them out and am not keen to repeat the process. Furthermore the foam inside is even harder to take out. Maybe you can advise me over the "proper" way to get the panel out. Thanks !

    i would have prefered silicon caulk but the developer used this plastic bit which curled outward and downward. The bath has sunk a little and there is a reasonably large gap which I think will be difficult to cover with the silicon, but given that I have now placed a caulking strip, will that be...

    caulking where tile meets bath

    I have just finished tiling the bathroom and would like some advice about caulking over where the tiles meet the bathtub. I bought the caulking strip from focus and basically just stick them on the tiles and then the bath. My concern is that in between the tiles (grout line) there is a small...
