A property manager asked me to sort out a Bilinga rental where the bathroom and toilet fittings had worked loose.
I took down all ten loose items, including towel rails, hand towel rails, toilet roll holders and shelves, put new fixings into the wall at every point, and refitted each one with the right size screws so they stay firm.
The sliding flyscreen door was also hard to use, so I repaired it, serviced its corroded locks, replaced both roller wheels and adjusted it until it ran smoothly and lined up properly. Everything was tested before I left, and the property manager received the invoice with completion photos.
How I refit loose bathroom fittings
- Remove the fitting and check what the wall behind it is made of.
- Use the right wall anchor for that wall, not just a bigger screw.
- Refit with correctly sized, rust-resistant screws.
- Check it is level and solid before moving to the next one.
- Clean up and photograph the finished fittings for the property manager.
