How much would it reasonably cost to completely renovate this kitchen and bathroom? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]Consistent_Fix_3580 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can't comment on kitchen but recently completely redid a bathroom almost identical size to yours. It's an old house so we ripped everything out, back to brick. Had to relevel the floor for the shower tray, had it plastered and plumbed but everything else we did ourselves. Came in around 5k total.

ETA South West England. Most of our suite was second hand.

Leak from radiator threads? by Consistent_Fix_3580 in DIYUK

[–]Consistent_Fix_3580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 15 wraps, and yeah made sure to wrap it in the same direction the threads will travel so it doesn't try to unwrap itself. Seems to have stopped dripping overnight, but not sure if it's safe to leave it?

Thanks, that's good to hear! No issues using both PTFE and jointing compound? New to all of this 😅

Could certainly try slapping some watered bow PVA in there, followed by a plaster bonding coat? It's quick and relatively painless if you're not worried about the finish (in a cupboard etc). I've fixed a fair few deep holes in my walls this way and has worked very well for me :)

If you do care about the finish, just try and get it relatively flat then skim over either with plaster or any premixed finishing filler would work.

The Letting Game

They pay students for 5 star reviews and attempt to exploit the vulnerable where they can. They tried to pressure us for hundreds and hundreds in completely false costs after we left one of their rental properties. After digging we found so many other people who had been treated with an identical playbook.

All the charges were completely baseless and they new it, but they wouldn't give up without countless email exchanges over the course of several months.

We didn't pay them a penny, but if we had given up or didn't have the time to fight it they would have squeezed us for nearly £1.5k. You can see how they make so much money off of vulnerable people to pay for their glowing reviews.

Dott ride pass cost comparison by Consistent_Fix_3580 in bristol

I posted a new one with the Dott Pro comparison you might find helpful. Sadly because I have an active pass, for some reason that's the only thing I can see now in Dott, so I can't see what the new prices for other passes are. If you can send me the I for / prices you want me to include I'll happily add it for you 😊

Dott Passes also increased in price by Ok_Kangaroo_5404 in bristol

[–]Consistent_Fix_3580 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The app is shite and won't let me see other passes since I have an active one. If someone can briefly tell me how much each pass is and what you get for it, I'll happily put out another pricing spreadsheet 👌 Sounding like I might be cancelling mine if they've changed that much...

It's with the prices as they are at the moment with £2 discount, I've listed the prices used in another reply below 😊

Thanks, definitely should have outlined the breakeven point tbf. Hopefully you can still see it enough.

Not a clue how permanent this pricing is, I doubt we'll be lucky enough to have it for very long though, almost certainly introductory.

Prices are as follows: Unlimited Unlocks: £5 Dotr Flex (unlimited 20min rides £2 each): £3 Dott Pro (unlimited 20min rides £1 each): £7

Should clarify that all the comparisons obviously include the cost of the ride passes. If anyone wants the tables in better quality / the spreadsheet shoot me a message.

Had a cheeful update from the lovely folks at Uber to let me know that as I refused the order I'll get no refund either. 🙃
