You can’t polish a turd.
Especially if the turd is in a horrible loft.

No, returning customer. Have done their ensuite, now this bathroom and next one will be the other ensuite later in the year.

Busy at home with the hall and staircase. It was all dark wood, all sanded and now white satin finish, 12 doors grrrrr. Lining paper throughout with coving downstairs. 2 walls with a feature paper and 'elephants breath' emulsion over the lining paper. Just put the new vinyl laminate down in the hall and through into bathroom.
Only been on with it for the last 2 years

Are they the covered ply type?
I have only used the all plastic type with the hollow centre, was for a budget shower area.

Williams had both
Got an 832 in my garage ready for next month

Yeah. I'll only use the marine ply wood ones. Stay well away from the MDF as they just end up swelling.

I've used the plastic ones and they're OK. But they're easily damaged.

I don’t know about Baxi but worth trying Williams if you havent already. They seem to have Vaillant and ideal

[Deleted member 120897]

Same stuff, different week for me same boilers, same faults, might get the odd curveball. Nowhere near as fancy as some of what you lot carry out.

 

[ShaunCorbs]
