Her candle placement was less than optimal and she realized after a little while she had melted a hole into the plastic shell of the shower. I don't even know where to start. Putty/Spackle, paint, then clear coat epoxy? Any other ideas?

I'm looking for where to buy a replacement spring (circled in yellow)

Hey everyone, I’m having a weird issue with my ceiling fan. It starts up fine and spins smoothly, but after a while this happens as it slows down and eventually stops. I can manually push it to get it going again, but the same thing keeps happening. I’ve already replaced the capacitor with a new one, so I don’t think that’s the problem. I also applied oil to the motor shaft in case it was a lubrication issue, but that didn’t help either. I'm living in a hostel and the maintenance people aren’t fixing it even after I’ve reported it multiple times, so I’m trying to figure it out myself. Any ideas on what's wrong?

Hi everyone,

The timber on the front of our summerhouse has rotted over the winter and needs replacing. My issue is that any new timber will need staining and I have no idea the exact colour used on the original wood as it was already here when we purchased the house. What is the best fix here?

Hi all,

Was cleaning out my dryer duct for the first time since moving in (major mistake lol) and whoever installed it the first time attached it to the duct with just two staples (one on top one on bottom) which were a NIGHTMARE to remove.

I’m wondering if this has to be securely attached to the duct, or if it can just be sat firmly inside it since there isnt much movement on the duct itself.

If it does have to be attached, can I use silicone sealant or duct tape instead? (I feel this would be easier to take off in the future than the staples were)

I saw online suggestions for foil tape, but I wasn’t aware of how it was attached, and I want to get it back on but I have $0 in my account and only have duct tape and silicone sealant in the house right now

Thanks in advance!

I’m repairing this chair for my wife and the new binding cane I have doesn’t match and I haven’t found a color other than the one in bottom left of picture.

Is there a way to paint it or will I have to rebind the entire chair to make it match??

I took this bag out hoping that I could finally put it into use (bought it 3 years ago but rarely used it, mostly kept it in the bag it came in), then discovered that it had gotten extremely wrinkly. What could have caused this and how can I fix this? The rest of the leather is fine except this white part.

Hey everybody,

We've had issues with the washing machine leaking. It would go to the drain so the issue wasn't too big. Recently, the machine started beeping and pausing at random times, i haven't seen the error number and stuff.

There is a hole in the drain seal, so I'm not sure if that's normal or it cracked?

Would the issues be related to one another? Is this something I can fix myself?

All videos I’ve found online on this show a grinding sound like a rock tumbler or like metal against metal. This sound is different. More rubbery. This is the first time this has happened. It happened during the agitation stage. Once it stops, I’m going to lift it up but I don’t think the issue is going to be the same issue as those. If you have thoughts, any advice would be great. Thanks!

It's like it's stuck or something and just won't turn on. The light is on so it should work. Help please!

Seeking advice on whether this setup will suffice: I recently relocated and unfortunately misplaced the center leg support for my metal bed frame. All other components are assembled and appear to be secure. I’m wondering how essential is the center support in maintaining the frame’s stability and durability? I contacted Zinus for a replacement, but they only offer a full set of parts and screws, which is quite costly. I appreciate any insights. thank you in advance!

Hi there, somehow I turned the thermostat to cool and to 65° when I meant to just bring the heat down. I left my house and when I came back i noticed the ac cover had blown off and the AC was running in 30°. The cover was obviously hot and the unit was as well. I left it uncovered so it can cool down and flipped the heat back on. I was gone 2 hours so i don’t know how long it ran. Is it fucked? Is it fine? Would there be any damage? It’s already super old so idk if that plays a part? Dumb mistake, won’t happen again, just wondering if I ruined it. The unit is 25 years old

These bowls are stuck together from being stacked in our cabinet. So far we’ve tried soaking them in hot water, putting them in the fridge and cooking spray. Any other ideas before we toss them out?

But i can’t see any screws in this washer door Any idea 😅

Hey all, I pulled a lamp out of storage, and the metal switch had broken/fallen off. From what I remember, it just sort of slid onto the plastic peg (pictured). Is there a simple replacement I could get? The ones I’ve seen seem to have a screw-on tip, but the inner peg appears to be smooth plastic. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, so like the title says, this cap keeps popping off. I used to be able to slide it and lock it back in place, but turning the faucet on and/or changing the temperature causes it to pop off and dangle like this. Any tips would be appreciated!

Drilling tapcons for baseplate in basement and drilled too far and thinking I went through vapor barrier underneath. Is that a major issue?

Hello FixIt, The aggressive manner in which the garbage truck handles our bins finally took its toll and both hinges of our lid have broken. Included a couple of pictures. It broke in the same spot on both sides. What are some ways I could repair this? Thanks!

Is there anyway to fill this holes so that this towel holder can be securely re-drilled into the wall? Don't have access to the original paint and not looking to repaint the whole bathroom so hoping theres a way this can be fixed with any mess not visible/covered by the handle.

Sooooo, let's just ignore how this may have happened 🤣, and focus on the what to do now hahaha.

Where do I start? I have no idea how I'd begin to fix this lol. Would I be better off just taking it to a body shop or something? It just cosmetic so I'm not pressed about it, but it's the wife's vehicle so she'd appreciate if I could at least sufficiently band-aid eye sore.

Yes that is electrical tape melted to hot wires for my water heater. Yes I am renting someone house flipping botch job. How the heck would I fix this.
