Came home to find that my wife had had a problem with the push button on toilet (sticking). She had taken it apart as below. I understand that the button should push down where I've drawn an arrow and the cable...
Hello everyone,
I moved into a condo unit and it came with this nice glass enclosure shower. Its one of those with 2 sliding glass doors on an acrylic base.

Hello all,
newbie here so be kind please. We have a leaky tap in our bathroom and not 100% sure how to go about fixing it. It’s the cold tap that’s causing the drip, but not sure how to take it off and service it. Any help is greatly appreciated. See pictures for the tap 😊

I already posted a question about this to the MyBuilder.com Ask a Tradesman section but I'm unable to post follow-up questions. Someone has kindly replied that the fix made to my system is dangerous and should be replaced and I'd appreciate it if someone here could validate this advice.
I have...
Hi, new to the forum and looking for some advice if possible. I had an engineer out to look at my combi boiler (potterton performa). The power light is coming on, but no response to demand for hot water or central heating.
The engineer had a look inside and found the PCB was getting 240V in...
Hi,
I wanted to ask you guys for some advice. How would you advise to run radiator pipes in new build flats? The floors are all concrete, someone advised to run them in the floor before the screed goes in?
Your advice and help is appreciated.
Thanks
Hello everyone, I hope you can help..I'm a total dunce when it comes to all things plumbing, apologies if posted in the incorrect forum too! Sorry this post is going to be quite long/descriptive but I was just hoping to get a second opinion on the methodology the plumber used to fix our boiler...

Hi!
I bought a house with a boiler installed Ideal Logic 30 Combi. I don't have warranty on it, although it's rather new, of 2015. The whole system has been drained flashed and resealed.
When I moved in I was just using hot water. When I switched on CH mode, boilers makes a noise before...
Evening all,
I've been to service a gas fire and found it had a flue damper plate which isn't permanently fixed. They only want to keep the gas fire for a short while until they get a wood burner. My question is: how do I fix the damper plate in a 'permanently open position'? Is there a...
So me and my partner bought our first house in May. The previous owners skimped out on every part of the house possible, bodge jobs galore. We have remedied the majority of them. The last area to look at is the combi boiler, it has given us a few problems since we moved in and now coming up to...
I have the job of trying to remove the fittings for an existing soft-close, top-fix, toilet seat.
The problem is that I cannot get the 2 existing bungs and one stubborn machine screw out of the holes in the porcelain. The screw just goes round and round in the hole - it won't unscrew out and it...
Hi,
Was hoping to get some advice... When I moved in the central heating was not working (they didn't tell us), paid quite a bit of cash to get it looked at, everything pointed at flow problems as the "Ideal" boiler would display flow error code. In the end, the plumber let me down, so went...
