Great news everyone, to keep the momentum going I blocked the toilet up this morning. One of the few man skills I have in the reserves (Both unblocking and blocking toilets I consider manly). The missus didn't get quite my enthusiasm for either.

Please assure me you haven't blocked the toilet with your missus |

Assuming its an upstairs toilet, just go and get a metal coat hanger and rubber gloves.
Uncoil coat hanger and bend it into a shallow u shape poke around until released? Roberts your dads brother
Try flushing too whilst creating air release hole with hanger

Whenever we have a shower downstairs there is a pong eminating from the drains. Any advice?

Blockage in your stench pipe? |

It looks like this and the top is open (Except for an anti bird-nest cage) to allow smells to escape.  |

Blockage in your stench pipe? That so sounds like a euphemism |

Blockage in your stench pipe? I'll have a look. Cheers. Drain cleaning rods probably required? |

This seems like the right thread for a question.
The dishwasher drawer is metal coated in a plastic to protect it from corrosion. Part of this plastic has split (looks like something hot melted it) and exposed the metal underneath, and this has started to rust very quickly as you'd imagine in the hot and humid dishwasher.
So, what's the best thing to use to re-seal it (the bit that's exposed is about an inch long)? Some sort of plastic heat-shrink? This is one occasion that I don't think gaffer tape will quite cut it.

Try Isopon Bumper Filler. It's tougher than a Scottish pansy. |

Try Isopon Bumper Filler. It's tougher than a Scottish pansy. Got some of that in the garage. It'll be OK with the heat in the dishwasher? |
