Needs redoing from the top down. Years of neglect there really. Will it slow up your bathroom makeover?

Few repairs and plenty of tanking and I rekon it will be ok.

Interesting - a decision to come for us. Thanks

You know it makes sense.

will the HMRC be on the look out for the income in the future?

all carefully designed to confuse & exclude those not in the know.....

cut new tile - not time to start short cuts now. You know it makes sense.

self levelling compound

no idea but the JCB branded drills I bought have been very good. Lasted ages when drilling RSJ's.

I'm done with cheap drills - they just loose the edge so quick. Bought some jcb ones last week - just fantastic.

What about a small drain hole into the cavity just in case it does leak? Just trying to help.

Right, I'm going to give that £50 drill doctor a go. I will report back once I've used it in anger. Thanks for the discussion. W

Well I've finally had enough of forcing blunt drill bits through wood / metal. I've not got a grinding wheel & I've never used one to sharpen a drill bit so I'm tempted with one of those all in one jobs like https://drilldoctor.co.uk/products/drill-doctor-500x Does anyone have any experience of these? Cheers.

Shared drives only bring trouble. Reduced house value as well?

Is coving normal in a bathroom?

Progressing now @Onoff. Not been near my bathroom for ages. Busy putting a long garden fence in, should have done it in the summer!

it looks OK to me TBH.

Tanking membrane.......

mains gas here so will need a diverter to harness the pv generation.

as per Dave - we've been told we need to complete the house before FIT becomes an option. If we put solar PV then we won't bother with FIT.

will it 'crack' off using a broad blunt screw driver blade?

good news there then.

it breaks up easy - you won't be there long!

so you've got a solution - are they both out by the same amount?

Ive not used them. Patience is what I use for tiling + plenty of time.
