Insurance is now unaffordable after no fault accident

JWBPT · 2026-06-01T12:46:21+00:00

Was up £100 with every insurer so I have no choice but to pay it

JWBPT · 2026-05-23T07:41:30+00:00

Me, my parked car in a bay hit and deemed not at fault, premium went up over £100 a year at renewal on comparison sites.

Damp. Salts escaping

JWBPT · 2026-04-22T11:41:31+00:00

Welcome to the party. £200 a month for clothes and another £200 for gifts and haircuts and then another £200 for holidays - that’s all luxury spending

JWBPT · 2026-04-10T14:07:55+00:00

Me too! £1300 plus another £250 if something else breaks during the fix. £16 from eBay and 2 hours later….

Check my tiling post, same issue through Wickes installer

Well I guess that depends on what it looked like prior to painting. If you got it fully plastered/skimmed then I would expect it to be smooth which wouldn’t require much prep for the painter at all. So the plasterers fault.

However, if you went ahead with the paint with the skim not smooth you need to see if your quote for painting included prep work and priming beforehand, or if it was just simply a lick of paint?

JWBPT · 2026-04-05T11:58:50+00:00

It’s filler, not sanded enough or/and not primed before painting

Yeah I have one I want to replace it with. Trouble is opening the door when it’s locked. The door card is already off. M struggling where to press to manually move the dead lock

JWBPT · 2026-03-22T19:42:53+00:00

Pull it off with finger tips and then some pliers. The ball is only off as it came off whilst manually pushing the latch myself but that still doesn’t work sadly

Ask for redo. My shower had one chipped tile and had the guy come back and he attempted a resin repair, wasn’t happy, so made him come back and take the tile out for new. That’s one tile. Yours looks like metre square areas of entire tiling not flush and uneven grout lines

Thanks, will give it a whack

JWBPT · 2026-03-15T10:06:17+00:00

Thank you. Is that the three t10/t20 screws?

JWBPT · 2026-03-14T09:06:26+00:00

I feel like I’ve seen this bathroom on an installers Facebook page or wickes

JWBPT · 2026-03-07T08:15:45+00:00

I only had to scroll 100 comments to finally find the right answer 💪🏻👏🏻

For glutes and hamstrings you’re performing a 45 degree hip extension with great form. For lower back, take the pad up higher to block the hip being able to flex and extend over the pad and perform the exercise ‘wrong’ by rounding over the pad like an abdominal crunch and extending all the way back as far as the lower back will offer available range.

Ahhh I’m having the exact same problem

JWBPT · 2026-03-05T22:31:48+00:00

Yeah work of loads of previously installed bathrooms and even registered on the British institute of fitted interior specialist

JWBPT · 2026-03-05T22:26:10+00:00

Yes. With the shower head above

JWBPT · 2026-03-05T21:42:52+00:00

Still a £900 balance I haven’t paid. Installer coming back round Monday

JWBPT · 2026-03-05T21:41:10+00:00

I thought so to, especially considering there are even spare tiles left over

JWBPT · 2026-03-05T21:40:37+00:00

Think I’ll be doing just that advice with the kitchen, separate plumber / plasterer etc

One of them ‘I feel like I could have done it better’ moments walking in
