I've recently had these tiles installed, and would like to smooth the top somehow so I can then paint the top the same colour as the wall (I do not want to use tile trim). The tiles are quite 'rugged' hence the jagged line. I've applied primer. What's the best product / process for smoothing...

I'm not sure how to describe this quickly (sorry): We had a lot conversion done. After a time (quite a long time - don't remember how long exactly) a number of holes popped out - where the plaster board was screwed into the rafters. I assumed this was fairly 'normal' settling of the new...

Bottom of front door has had varnish worn away. The wood seems hard enough but on the fixed threshold bit there are grooves. Can this be filled with filler before painting? Or would appropriate paint be enough after sandpapering? I'm not a DIYer but money is tight at the moment so I'm hoping...

Hi we've a few of these around the house and I think there called screw pops? What's the best way to deal with these,as I'm wondering if I fill over them will they just come back again? Is it worth taking the screw out?

I have a U turn staircase. There is a large gap (18mm) on one side between stringer and plasterboard wall, while the opposite side is cut about 12mm into the plasterboard.
