    New electric shower or replace with mixer shower?

    I've recently bought my first house & the electric shower has started to smell like burning. I've turned it off & won't be using it. I've never had an electric shower before, would it be a costly job to replace the electric shower with a mixer shower? If it matters the shower is at the opposite end to the bath taps. If I was to replace the electric shower, it's a Triton 3+ 9.5 watt. The new ones I've seen in my budget are 4.5 watt, would this have a, lot less pressure than my current one? I'm on a budget & have no idea about these things so which option would be cheaper to install & also cheaper to run long term? Thank you

    Rendering garden wall materials required

    Hi, Im looking to render part of my garden wall. It's not huge and I'm pretty sure I could do it myself. I'm just looking for some advice on which materials I should use and what the ratios should be in the mix. Will any sand do the job? Do I need to add any additives in? I know i'll need plasterciser but should this be in the final coat too? How thick should the coats be? Any advice would be appreciated.

    My entire wall is damp, will it need replacing?

    Hi, I recently cleared out under my stairs and found mould growing along the back wall. After clearing it off with mould spray and bleach, I found in the plaster peeling off in the corner. Using a moisture meter I found it to be very damp at least 1.2m high. Will this wall panel need replacing? I also checked moisture content along the skirting board and I think all of it in the cupboard will need replacing. mAlso, is this question better for a plasterer or a builder? Maybe I'm asking the wrong people!
