Unfortunately the screw in the hole is a bit of a corroded mess and I cant unscrew it. It will not grip in the cross hole. Am I going to have to dismantle this with force and replace the whole thing? Why does water always wreck things apart from gardens. Thanks for your help moggridgeplumbing.

Hi there. The overflow on my bath leaks whenever the water reaches it and soaks the ceiling down below. It's a twist bath plug mechanism and I've attached a couple of photos to show. Looking at the overflow it's only plastic. Should there be a rubber seal on it, or some sort of seal, and how...

Hello all, I'm new to the site and this is my first question so please be gentle. I'm decorating my living room and stripped all the disgusting wallpaper away to the plaster(I didn't put the wall paper up in the first place, it was already here) but when I stripped the wall paper from around...
