    had the kitchen painted 2 weeks ago . Last night knocked over her full glass of red wine over leaving splashes all over the back wall :headbang:

    Luckily the blokes who did it used some paint normally used in commercial settings as it would be very durable and they seemed to be right as it all cleaned up fine :emoticon-0141-whew:

    Yeah looks really well, we’ve got something very similar (might even be the same stuff) in the hall, and it’s been sound.

    I got my new mixer tap and shower rigged up today mate, was a bit of a pain undoing the old ones mind, that took about 45 mins of "Fuxake" "how's that supposed to fkin come off" "what the **** is that" "owww" "what's this fukin for" ect....

    All working and no leaks so job well done that is, I'm 100% certain it's gonna be fine.

    Just need a longer hose and a better shower head tbh as the one she bought is cheap ****.

    Go for one these pvc coated ones. They won't rake against your shiny new taps like the metal hoses do. PVC Smooth Shower Hose 2m(79") - Chrome Universal Replacement Anti-Twist Long Shower Cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089CYYG9N/?tag=not606-21

    Bought this shower head to replace a very expensive very broken grohe shower head.
    It's way better than the expensive one.
