    Fitting a hinged shower screen on an L shaped bath

    We have replaced tiles on end wall of our L shaped bath and have a new hinged bath screen to go on which obviously means drilling into the tiles. Is this a DIY job or does it need an expert? Thanks.

    Bath Sealant Problems

    I'm having constant issues with the sealant around my bath. When I bought the house, it had not been sealed, the tiles had been grouted against the bath. I took this out, cleaned and sealed. But the sealant keeps failing, going mouldy and we've previously had leaks in to the room below, it also seems to leak through the shower screen as well. The tiles sit just over the bath at the tap end, where the problem is, and butt to the tiles at the other. I need to remove the sealant again for the 4th time but need to know what I'm doing wrong. I am removing all sealant, rubbing down with white spirit and weighted the bath last time to account for movement. Only a little water is getting behind, but the plasterboard is slightly damp so it needs sorting properly. Thanks

    Replace radiator

    I want to replace a horizontal radiator (I think it is 600×1200 Type 11 → ~4,000 BTU) with a vertical double radiator (probably Urban Vertical Radiator – Anthracite – Double Panel – 1800 × 532 m BTU around 6,000). I had an extension build which is open to the kitchen and it is too cold in winter (total cubic meters 40 for kitchen plus 20 for extension). The house is three storeys and the upper floors are already too hot. Modern Ultracom Condensing Boiler. Is this a viable plan?
