filler

Hi all I need to (at least try) fill gouges/fissures in factory-made 12 mm / half inch thick terracotta floor tiles in home living room, with as close a visual match as I can get. (I know it will not look perfect. The tiles are thirty years old, imported and no longer available. No spare...

Hi all, Long story short, a lead pipe in a wall got damaged (not by me!) and sprung a leak. Plumber chiselled in to access the pipe, replaced the damaged section with two Lead-Locs and two copper pipes connected with a small copper sleeve. It has done the trick and is staying dry. Need to fill...

We moved into new place and have been having some work done. Today we had the coving removed and some plastering done on new fireplace and started on the ceiling. Something we hadn’t noticed before is that the room is painted over wallpaper. Very annoying! As you can see from the pics, the...

Hi guys - quick one... I have a boiler cupboard with a plasterboard wall, that looks like it is using some sort of re-inforced string style scrim tape to adhere it to the brick wall. Problem is that when the ceiling above was removed the stress of the the board removal and renovation of the...

We have recently had some doors replaced and due to the old wooden frames I'm left with a gap between the door and wall the length of the door. What is the best way to fill this so I can paint it but so it sits up with the wall

Hi all. So I have a wall that is plastered which meets a ceiling that is plasterboard. I need to take the ceiling board down in the future to run some pipes so don't want to joint tape and fill just yet but also don't want the horrible plaster colour for a couple of months so would like to...

Hi, we're prepping the main wooden stairs in a 1930s semi for painting as the finish. There are cracks and gouges in the wood, some shallow, some perhaps 5mm deep. Please can anyone recommend a suitable filler that won't fall out and that we can paint over. Thank you

Just patched up a lot of cracks and chips in the plaster of my walls and realised I was using a lightweight coving filler/adhesive, for polystyrene coving. I've done the entire room, so I don't really feel like going back and chipping it all out! Thoughts? Will it last? Will I be able to paint...

Hi, Me and my husband moved into our house back in 2019. When we moved in we noticed that two walls had been fixed up with filler, but it had been done really badly. At the time we didn't have the time or money to get it sorted. We are wanting to repaint but these walls look like an absolute...

Hi, we’ve had issues with permeating damp in an upstairs bedroom (think due to dodgy guttering above) over time and it’s come back again after having the gutters ‘fixed’ a while ago. We’ve got someone coming next weeks to check them again. The lining paper on our wall started to come away so I...

I have a brown UPVC front door with a bit of trim along the exterior of the threshold. It's about an inch wide It tilts back slightly so water gathers there. Wondering if I could fill and paint over it, if so what kind of filler to resist the weather and a bit of scuffing? Or, maybe cut out the...

Hi all, Quick background, recently had a galvanised steel water bar installed at base of garage door to help stop water coming in during heavy rain. However, there is a gap between the bar and the garage door tracks. Probably 3mm or so, but of course it does allow water to come in (see pics)...

Afternoon all, I'm having some work done following subsidence - there are numerous cracks in several rooms and the man from the insurers has asked for them to be filled with resin. The guys are using Gyproc Easyfill 60, which I suspect is not resin... Is there much a difference? Does it really...

I may have made a mistake and would appreciate some advise from the more experienced folks here. I have already applied two coats of Gardz sealer on my walls and was planning to apply filler once the sealer has dried, sand smooth and seal again. There are a few holes i need filled, and also...

Hi all, i found a small piece of my lime plastered wall (2 years old) had fallen off onto the floor. The piece seems to have come away right next to the window frame. These old houses flex a bit with the seasons but can anyone recommend what filler to use? Thanks
