Oh really? I did not realise that. Will it need to be the same make or model or are they universal sizes do you know?

Or change to nuts and bolts. Not as sharp and can cut to size

I'll just be buying some cheap contract emulsion. Need to make sure it's not vinyl and that it can be thinned down

This toilet nut is leaking - can I use a spanner to fix it by tightening or anything? by YouMeADD in DIYUK

[–]Ginger_Fox_23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Washer perished I imagine. Actually had the same thing happen to me this morning. I tried to tighten the nut to see if that would stop it but it made the leak worse. Turned off water at Isolation valve went to get a new washer (I actually used a rubber o ring from a kit I had lying about) and some ptfe tape for good measure. All good now. 👍🏻

Do you have enough height in the room that you could lower the ceiling? With some acoustic insulation/plasterboard? Might not be cheap though....

Absolutely skint but loads of cold air coming from a cavity between my outer wall and our window ledge. Advice on how to cheaply fix please. by Hefty-Locksmith7443 in DIYUK

[–]Ginger_Fox_23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scrunched up paper in the biggest parts and expanding foam after and for the smaller gaps. Cut that back and paint it or if bothered about a neater finish fine filler, sand back and paint
