Equipment Needed:
Step 1: The first thing you need to do is to remove the old silicone. Using a utility knife create two cuts along the top and bottom edge. Be careful not to scratch your bath, then using a screwdriver wedge up the silicone, then slowly pull with your hands. Use a scrapper to remove the bits still stuck to the bath and tiles.
Step 2: Fill the bath, this is important as it needs to be at it’s heaviest point when you apply the new sealant. If you don’t the sealant may pull away from the wall when having a bath due to the fact that the bath sinks when full.
Step 3: Now it is time to reseal the bath. Cut the top of the sealant gun to the same size as the gap your sealing. Then simply apply the sealant to the bath working around all the gaps. Make sure to take your time to make sure it gets sealed correctly.
Step 4: The final step is too smooth the sealant down. You can do this with many things like a spoon, a specific sealant smoother or even your finger. Then leave the sealant to dry and your bath should be fully resealed.

Ingredients:
*Due to the fact you are going to be using bleach you might want to do this wearing some old clothes just in case you get any on them.
Step 1: First you need to make a thick paste by mixing the baking soda and bleach together in a bowl. This then needs to be applied along the dirty grout lines. Leave it to sit for 30 minutes.
Step 2: After 10-15 minutes scrub the area where the mixture is with a scrub brush. This will help work the cleaner deeper into the grout.
Step 3: After waiting another 10-15 minutes rinse the cleaner off the wall. One easy way to do this is to use a handheld shower head, or you can simply use a damp rag to wipe it away. If you do it that way though make sure you rinse the rag out often to keep it clean with water.
Step 4: Grout sometimes turns darker when wet so you may need to wait a couple of hours until it dries to see the full effect.
Equipment Needed:
Step 1: Decide where you want the holder to go. The ideal placement for it should be around 20-25 cm in front or beside the toilet and around 66cm off the floor. This should make it so the toilet roll holder will be in an easy arm’s reach.
Step 2: Most toilet paper holders come with a template to help you figure out where to attach the brackets to the wall. These are either included on a separate bit of cardboard or can be part of the packaging. Holding the template flat against the wall, draw around the area where the brackets will be. Make sure to use a spirit level to check that the template is level.
Step 3: Using a felt tip marker, mark out the drill holes on the area you are going to drill into. One way of making sure the drill holes are going to be in the correct place is by using the bracket to trace around. If you hold the bracket in the area you already outlined in pencil you can position the drill holes perfectly apart.
Step 4: If you have decided to not use wall anchors you need to drill holes that are slightly smaller than the screws that come included with the holder. If you are using wall anchors then drill holes that are the same size as the biggest point of the wall anchor. The holes also need to be as deep as the anchors are long. Once all the holes are drilled insert the anchors in each hole firmly. If they don’t got fully in use a hammer to tap them in until they do. If your drilling into tile you may find our How To guide on that subject useful. Click here to go to that page.
Step 5: Using a Phillips head screwdriver screw the four screws into the bracket you have positioned on the wall, in the area you marked out earlier. Turn the screws in the hole until they are snug and hold the bracket firmly against the wall. You will be screwing into the wall anchors you inserted earlier, or just into the wall if you didn’t use them.
Step 6: You should now be able to attach the roller holders on to the brackets. At the base of each holder there should be an up-arrow to show which side goes up. After you have slid both holders on make sure to press them down gently to make sure they are in place. This will allow you to screw in one final hole in the bottom of the holders. This will clamp the roller holder to the bottom of the bracket, this should hopefully stop it from falling off. Not all holders have a screw on the bottom though so this will vary with models.
Step 7: Finally slide the toilet paper roll holder into the slot. To do this slide the roll into one side of the holder and then push gently so that the other side can be positioned into the other holder. Then release and it should click into place.
There is nothing worse than a poorly fitted toilet seat. A seat that moves every time you sit down, or a seat that doesn’t stay up. This How to post will hopefully make sure your Top Fixing Toilet Seat is fitted correctly.
Equipment Needed:
Step 1: Insert the screw into the hinge. If your toilet seat comes with an adjustment bracket we suggest you look at the instructions that came with the seat before moving on to step 2. This will ensure you have the hinge adjusted correctly for that style of seat.
Step 2: You should have two top fixing plugs with your toilet seat. You now need to push them through the top of the holes in the toilet pan. These are going to be used when screwing in the toilet seat hinges in the next step.
Step 3: Align the hinges to your desired position and screw the hinge into the top fixing plug. Make sure the hinges are still in the correct position before tightening the screws.
Step 4: To fit the seat to the pan simply line up the holes on the toilet seat with the pins on the hinge. Then push down until you hear a click. This indicates that the seat is secure and in place. If you want to remove the toilet seat, simply press the two buttons on the seat, they should be positioned near the hinge on the back.
