Yup - definitely cats. A pump action water pistol every time we saw one did the job for a while - but we've clearly let our guard slip. Currently our tiny garden is being protected by chilli flakes, coffe grounds and a liberal sprinkling of ant cat stink powder. Effective but horrid.


Really do fancy one of the motion detected sprinklers....

Brought some poo into the house today on my shoes, so not happy. Thought I'd start a thread, but assumed that this would be something that had been aired before. Well knock me down with a feather, what perfect timing!


We use a cat scarer with a laser light and a wailing sound. I then notice a fox in a neighbour's garden who shows a slight bit of interest. Cat's repsond quite slowly but eventually walk away. Obvious problem is that you have to be there. I fancied an air rifle, which I would use against the rats with long furry tails, but they cost quite a lot, and I'd probably get prosecuted for animal cruelty.


We've thought about lion poo for some time, particularly knowing people from ZSL. But hey presto, search it on Google, and plenty of hits, ignore Amazon coz they are scumbags (IMO) and try somewhere like http://www.primrose.co.uk/silent-roar-cat-repellent-05kg-p-791.html?cPath=24_312&source=googleads&gclid=CPPGyoy_irkCFeXMtAodhBEAlA

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
