    Fixing Bathroom Mixer Tap

    How do I shut off a bathroom radiator with angles valves?

    My bathroom radiator is very hot in a small room and I would like to shut it off but can’t work out how. There are two valves one at each side at the bottom with a small prong sticking out of each one. I don’t know what the difference is between them or even if that is what I have to turn or how!

    Will my bathroom sink take a mixer tap?

    Hi, My bathroom is getting redone in a few weeks. I have the option of 2 taps again or a mixer. I've seen online that if the hot flow is 'too much' lower than the cold, a mixertap won't work well. How do I know if it might be an issue? (Or what the cause of difference is?) (I can't say for sure...

    URGENT Smell in Bathroom?

    I have a recurring bad smell whenever I use the bath or shower. It's not all the time it takes time to build up and then when you get home from work you can smell it when you open the front door. It doesn't smell like farts, it smells like some sort of chemical and spreads through the flat.
