filler

I've recently had these tiles installed, and would like to smooth the top somehow so I can then paint the top the same colour as the wall (I do not want to use tile trim). The tiles are quite 'rugged' hence the jagged line. I've applied primer. What's the best product / process for smoothing...

I'm not sure how to describe this quickly (sorry): We had a lot conversion done. After a time (quite a long time - don't remember how long exactly) a number of holes popped out - where the plaster board was screwed into the rafters. I assumed this was fairly 'normal' settling of the new...

Hi we've a few of these around the house and I think there called screw pops? What's the best way to deal with these,as I'm wondering if I fill over them will they just come back again? Is it worth taking the screw out?

I have a U turn staircase. There is a large gap (18mm) on one side between stringer and plasterboard wall, while the opposite side is cut about 12mm into the plasterboard. The gap is currently filled with foam, filler and caulk. Its uneven and cracked so I’ve removed the filler/caulk and raked a...

Hi All, Had an oak banister installed by carpenter. He filled main bits with this Ronseal light oak filler. Said i had to do the rest as they dont fill every hole. Anyways i brought the same filler and started filling any holes etc. Sanded it back and applied Ronseal Light Oak Satin Varnish...

Hi all, I have been researching plaster and plasterboard wall filler for a number of cracks in my house, some ranging from hairline to wider cracks (around 3 to 6mm, due to settlement after renovating an old house). The web is a wash with different types, all with a mix of reviews. So, I have...

I done some dob and dab and on few occasion the cut off for the electrical box is wider than the cover plate and can see the box. What would be the best and strong way to make good around it? Thanks

I recently discovered Gyproc EasiFill 60 and was initially impressed with it. Later, however, I got used to seeing tiny holes after sanding it. Is this a common problem? Is there a way of avoiding it? I have two theories. Maybe my sanding is dislodging filler or maybe I introduce bubbles when...
