    Bathroom door/shower glass issue?

    Hi folks. Are there any other solutions to stopping a door handle from hitting the shower glass other than a door stop and swinging the door the other side? If I use a door stop on the floor it would be near to were the shower entrance is. Any good suggestions welcome. Cheers

    Need to install kitchen sink in bathroom

    Hi. I need to install a kitchen sink in a bathroom. I’d like to use a standard bathroom sink drain/stopper but the hole in the sink is too large. Is there some sort of oversized flange or similar I can use to reduce the size of the hole to accept the smaller drain? Thanks!

    Hi, I took off the aerator on my bathroom sink. When I put it back on, it caused problems. When I turn on the water with the aerator in place, the water backs up into the base of the faucet and runs on to the floor through the hole where the rod for the sink stopper is. I'm not sure that is...

    How do I shut off a bathroom radiator with angles valves?

    My bathroom radiator is very hot in a small room and I would like to shut it off but can’t work out how. There are two valves one at each side at the bottom with a small prong sticking out of each one. I don’t know what the difference is between them or even if that is what I have to turn or how!

I've seen online that if the hot flow is 'too much' lower than the cold, a mixertap won't work well. How do I know if it might be an issue? (Or what the cause of difference is?) (I can't say for sure...
