If there's a leak can it be repaired from below? Or are there not panels that can be opened? Edited January 8, 2021 by Quiet Riot 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 If there's a leak can it be repaired from below? Or are there not panels that can be opened?The waters got down the side of the bath due to the shower curtain. It’s leaked into a bit where the sealant had came away and basically soaked the underflooring. Will probably actually just be the flooring and panels replaced, but its a pain and i am shit at diy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't rush into replacing the floor unless you know it's rotten. If it hasn't been damp too long it's probably still sound. Seal the bath then take the bath panel off and let the flooring dry out for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still (i think) have panels up the attic to replace on the bathtub. Not sure we have the lino to replace the stuff that was there. The water that was showing up downstairs seems to have dried up, which i suppose is a good thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get professionals in to look at that - damp left untreated under a bath can lead to all kinds of problems in the future. Also check your home insurance - you might be covered for that kind of damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, of course he says it'll be that. That way he can charge you for replacing it whether it needs it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only there was a poster who could swoosh in like a post-leak fairy and sort out all that nasty leak damage, kill all the mould, patch stuff up and make things habitable again (work in progress btw - paint was still wet and woodwork not yet painted..) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If such a person does exist, especially if they are in the Kingdom, then send me a DM as we haven't been let down by all manner of people who have said they'd make good the water marks etc. on our living room ceiling. Seriously, I'd be happy to get a message from someone who could do this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It's been a few years this has happened now, but every time MOTD has FA Cup games the goals aren't put beside the team names in the top left unless it's a featured game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonD Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Couple of things I've noticed during coverage of the US Presidential elections. The POTUS is described as "The Leader of the Free World". Wait, when did that happen? I don't recall being consulted. He's leader of one country which happens to be the biggest and most powerful, meaning they could impose their will and bring Amurrican values to other nations (God help us all) but then you have to wonder where the 'free' part comes in. When they give his full name, in official circumstances. the current President-elect is referred to as "Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior". Junior? The man is 78, FFS! How old is Joseph Robinette Biden SENIOR? And if he's dead (he is, he died in 2002) why does Biden have to continue to use the Junior part? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
