Repairs were made to my a/c unit and the repair man was supposed to make them to another house. Pay him?
Q. Compressor was replaced in my a/c unit - but the repair man had the wrong address. Do I have to pay for repairs? Don't really want old compressor put back in - was probably thrown in the back of a pickup - who knows what type of condition it is in.

How to repair rust damage on my car?
Q. This summer I bought a rust-free Toyota Tacoma in California and drove it back to Minnesota. After driving on salty roads for a few months, I've recently noticed a spot of rust developing on the door. I've tried to repair rust damage in the past with various "anti-rust" paints, but never had great results. I love to hear suggestions on how to repair the spot this spring and have it last a few winters.

How do I repair the damaged paintwork on my car bonnet?
Q. Last summer I pressure washed my car with an industrial machine and the paint started to bubble a bit, then bit by bit, my bonnet has now lost half of its paint which makes my car look like a wreck. I would really like to repair it. Is there any way I can repaint it myself (in which case, what products do I buy?). If not, how much might it cost for it to be repaired professionally?
Asked by Olive - Mon Sep 21 11:57:07 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Not really a simple job unless you have access to a compressor & spray-gun. If these tools aren't a problem the main thing to bear in mind is preparation. The better sanded, filled & undercoated the better. Applying the top coat is a little more skillful as runs or orange peel effect ruin the final outcome. The best thing to do is remove the bonnet & prepare it for top coat yourself, then pay a professional sprayer to finish the job for you. They will get the correct colour match & you'll end up with a great job for a fraction of the cost.

How can I repair the cracked bottom glass of my fish tank ?
Q. My fish tanks glass cracked from the centre, the crack is around 1 feet long from edge to edge. The water leakage started therefore I have evacuated my fishes to safer place. Now is it possible to repair the cracked bottom glass or I have to replace the whole glass with a brand new, which I suppose would be a costly affair, as the size of the bottom glass is around 7 ft x 1 ft. . Please suggest if there is some fool proof method to repair the cracked glass. Kindly note, I haven't separated the bottom glass from the fish tank, its absolutely fixed.

A. Get a piece of plexiglass about 2" smaller all the way around than the entire bottom of your tank. Put a very thick bead of aquarium sealer (silicone) directly on top of the crack (inside the tank). Now lay a bead all the way around the crack about 2" from it. Next put a bead on the bottom edges of the plexiglass (all the way around). Now place the plexiglass in the tank. It will distribute the downward force of the water so the crack will not widen. Put gentle pressure on the plexiglass all over so the silicone will spread out and seal against both the glass of the tank and the plexiglass. I have sealed a few tanks with this method. You may have to drain and reseal a spot or two if the silicone does not spread evenly around the… [cont.]

How do you repair a leaky bathtub faucet?

A. Typically all modern tub/shower mixing valves are built around a removable cartridge. They need to be removed and replaced with new. It can be difficult and lead to other more taxing, more expensive problems. Best to call in a professional plumber who will remove old, flush out the system and install new. If the valve body is severly corroded then the entire unit will need replaced.

Just ask for TSP. Then, get the loose plaster off. If you can take it off with your fingernails, it is gonna fall off. Use 1/2" thick drywall board. for the large hole over the fireplace take the plaster off to the 2x4 studs as you have to screw the drywall onto the studs. Also if it is an outside wall, insulate before the drywall goes on. Then once you have the board on, if the plaster is still alot thicker, you can get thinner drywall board and glue it to the 1/2" board to bring the surfaces up to the same level.

What would you expect the term "repair" to mean in a home construction contract?
Q. Say a homeowner wanted some dry rotted trim that had come loose on a house repaired and hired a contractor. The exact word in the contract is "repair" but by the homeowner's definition it means replace the rotted wood with new wood and paint it. But the contractor only nails the old rotted trim back in place and paints over it. Apparently the two parties have a large difference of opinion as to what "repair" means. Who is more correct by what it would be reasonably expected to imply.

Of course You are the more correct, even using the standard dictionary meaning of "repair": To put back in good condition after damage, decay, etc. To mend, fix! Either have the contractor repair the job, or return the money, or report him/them to the police & possibly take the question to court!

I don't suggest trying to repair a cracked tank. Body weight and temperature variances may cause it to grow or expand over time. And you don't want to be away from home with a leaking tank.

You won't fix this by repairing drywall (or at least the fix won't last.) There can be way too much stress on a handrail for drywall to hold it alone, even if they at least used toggle bolts to install it. Now, to be fair, sometimes *some* of the screws will be into wood and others just into drywall. Or perhaps you are only seeing the drywall and haven't looked to see if a stud is underneath. If there is a stud or wood blocking that you can drive a screw into to secure the railing, use it. If not, you could use toggle bolts -- these are the bolts with 'wings' that spread out on the other (invis [cont.]

I'd prefer to buy a new one, but some of my friends advised to jus keep it anyway...cuz it can still hold water although leaking a bit.. So i wanna ask on how to repair it... If I have found the crack, does anyone know how to seal it safely and strongly, yet will not poison the drink that I will put in the dispenser? (super glue? or what? and how exactly?)

How to repair a hole in a fiberglass boat when it continues to seep water?
Q. We have a small hole on the bottom of our boat. It will not stop seeping water to fix it. It has not been in the water since last fall ! We have a bondo fiberglass repair kit, We thought it was dry and put one layer on. Went back the next day to do another layer and it was wet and still seeping water. We have been waiting forever for this boat to dry to fix it. Is there anything that we can fix it with while its wet ?

A. Do not use BONDO..(which is polyester resin) to repair...You need to use Epoxy resin. Polyester resin is fine when you build a boat, but for repairs get a West systems epoxy kit. The nice thing about expoxy is that it generates heat while it cures which will help dry out some of that moisture. Before you start tho, I would put a heat lamp on the area, or a heat gun, (use care to not get anything too hot) to dry our as much moisture as possible. Make sure you rough up the area where the leak is so that the repair will stick. West systems has video and phamplets to show you how to use it. You can use filler to thicken the epoxy and even lay down new fiberglass cloth to reinforce the area. Epoxy can be blended and sanded with grinders and… [cont.]

How to repair a hole in a bedroom ceiling?
Q. Hi, about 2 weeks ago I was in my ex boyfriend's attic (with his permission! lol) and he noticed a crack, which turned into a hole when I slipped and almost fell through into the bedroom! If you lie in bed you can now see right through to the attic; while it could be considered a design feature, my ex isn't keen on it :-) It's not very big, probably only 1.5ft square if that but obviously the plaster is missing, one of the lathes (think that's what they're called; the thin pieces of wood just behind the plaster) is broken in half and poking throught he hole and little bits of the fibreglass indsulation are falling down. My ex told his landlord who said it would cost 150 to repair the damage, but I'm convinced my ex could do it himself... [cont.]

How do you repair a sliding glass door wheels?
Q. We have an unknown brand sliding glass door. The door will no longer glide smoothly. We've tried picking up and swinging out the door but there is not enough clearance to remove it to repair/replace the wheels. Any suggestions?
Asked by DDD42 - Fri Jun 26 15:19:17 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Somewhere on the edge of the door frame there should be some screws that either hold the frame together or that adjust the tension on the rollers. Or, there should be some kind of access hole where you can stick a screwdriver in there (slot or phillips) to adjust the roller height. If not, I would have to see the door itself and play with it to figure it out.
