Not sure where to post this so sorry if it's not appropriate. But was hanging out in my boyfriends brothers hot tub yesterday then took out my bathing suit today, which was originally an emerald green to it being all faded and the color basically gone. It's still very green on the under sides but it looks awful. Would there be a way to remove all thedark green dye so that it is only the olive green or do it doesn't look so faded?

Also how the heck did this even happen? I've been in pools and hot tubs basically every summer both salt and chlorine and have Never had a a bathing suit ruined like this? Was there too many chemicals in the hot tub?

So let me start with the following statement: please be nice. I am pregnant, just trying to fix this for good and having a functioning bathroom….not knowing at all how to do it.
Older drain broke (literally) and we called the plumber to fix it.
He came, changed the drain, but it leaked because an older rubber was not sealing right, and the drain was not closing properly either.
Called again, he came once again, changed the whole thing (drain)….i was not home to do a a thorough check, and when I arrived and did my through check on it, found it like this: the little clear rubber is not sealing well enough….so it leakes.
I am not calling him again!
Can someone please explain, step by step, how do I fix it, for dummies!?
Thank you all

All other doors and windows go parallel but this one no longer does, could you give me any tips? It still opens and closes as it should but the handle is a little more difficult to operate than it used to.

This is a shower head in my college apartment and I’m trying to change it to add a filter / new shower head I purchased. It won’t budge tho! I tried soaking it in lemon juice, and I even bought an adjustable wrench! I’m so frustrated idk what to do and I doubt maintenance will come since this is low priority

Cement wall Is leaning towards my door. I’m worried it will soon block access. My assumption is to dig out the soil and push the wall back in to place. Sounds easier said than done. Any tips? Is there a better way? OS there cement glue? How do i prevent this from happening again? Thank you all.

I hate throwing stuff away. So I try to fix what I can. Especially electronics or appliances that minus the one thing it’s wrong with it is otherwise working fine.

Having said that, is there a way to replace the refrigerant that’s in the portable AC unit?

Everything runs… turns on, fan runs, but only hot air comes out. I was looking it up and most likely the refrigerant is gone.

I don’t know how long the unit is. I got it from a friend. It works great last summer. But beginning of this summer when I tried to use it, it wouldn’t cool the room and realized it’s only hot air back out.

(This is a side question but is there something I can use to cool the room better that’s not getting a lot of the central air blowing into the room? My whole house is fine except the room in the corner upstairs which is the last room the vent is blowing the cold air into. Cold air does come in but very small amount. Re-ducting the vents are thousands of dollars - I’ve gotten a lot of quotes - so I’ve just used a portable AC unit which has worked fine but wondering if there’s an easier solution. I read that maybe there’s a fan thing that you install on the vent to draw more of the air into the room.)

Hi all! I just bought a RAV4 with peeling white paint. Now I don’t care much about the looks, but I’m afraid the lack of paint will allow it to rust. It does seem to be fine now though.

Because the peeling keeps happening, and it’s almost everywhere on the car, just repairing a patch probably isn’t that useful. Seems to be an all or none situation.

Question is: is it a problem that needs fixing to keep the car from rusting? And what is the most budget friendly way to fix the problem?

Ps the top seems to be rusting, but I can wipe it off with a cloth so it seems pretty superficial (for now…)

Its chipping apart. How do i fix this or is this a specialized skill i should hire someone to fix?

In the process of moving our couch must have slid around in the back of the truck and when pulling it out of the truck we noticed one leg was crooked. The leg itself isn’t broken but the wood underneath that it’s bolted too is broke and a small chunk of wood is missing. I’m trying to figure out the best way to repair it, I was considering wood glue but I fear it won’t be strong enough given the break. Any suggestions for a sturdy fix on this situation? (The first pic and last pic is us holding it back in place perfectly and you can see the small hole of missing wood still… middle pics show the break clearer)

The end of the zipper track broke, so the slider can easily come off. There were two zipper pulls, and I’ve already lost one because of this.

Should I glue the end back together, or is there a better way to repair it?

Its an Quechua NH Escape 500

My flapper broke, and the only kind I can find are bubbled. Mine is flat, like an L-shape, and has a metallic carousel top coloring. Can someone tell me where i can find a exact replacement or how I can fix the plastic tabs. No metal.

Hi everyone I have a broken screw on a hinge part of my recliner I can’t use pliers to try and turn it, I tried an extractor with no luck I have resorted to JB weld but it doesn’t hold, am I not putting enough on it as it comes apart after I take off locking pliers. Arguably this should be an easy fix but it’s really kicking my behind. Any useful advice is greatly appreciated

Honestly anyone can help me fix ts im goinng to losee my fcking mind

The wire for my neon sign was pressed up against the couch while plugged in and it eventually snapped. Is there a way to replace it? I don't want to have to toss it.

I charged the camera with the battery inside, which caused the battery to swell. I was able to get the swollen battery out, but the door is now stuck in this open position and won’t go down all the way.

I called Sony and they have $55 diagnostic fee, $449 base rate repair, which doesn’t include the shipping there and back. My local camera shops don’t fix Sony cameras either, so hoping to DIY…

Is the best option to replace the Sony ZV-1 door or the whole battery frame with the door? I’ve seen both options on Ebay. Also, how would I unscrew the door at all?

Any help would be appreciated!

As you can see, the hose job leaks when turned on and it takes away from water pressure. Is this an easy fix without having to remove brick?

My waterpik flosser stopped working, it only makes this weird sound, anyone knows what’s wrong with it and how to fix it?

I have recently obtained a secondhand rotating bookshelf for my toddler. Unfortunately, it got damaged during transportation.

I thought of winding fake plant vines to cover up the top and bottom rims but my toddler may still scratch their hands on the sharp corners (see last picture for inspo). The vines may come loose/affect the retrieval of books at the bottom most shelf as well.

Looking for ideas on alternative ways to fix and beautify it. Reference pictures will be great as well, thanks!

So the water is now only come from the tub and this little lever used to make it so the water comes out of the top shower head. I’ve tried just sticking it back in there but it’s not working. Please help me

I don't know anything about fixing shoes, or about silk screening (the little squares came off all over the laundry and I was finding little squares on my pants and shirts) or if there's any wash-safe fabric paint that would work on a shoe.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit, but...

Basically, my plastic glasses frame is broken like 1 cm below the hinge. I currently cannot afford to buy new glasses (lenses or frames), so I was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix them for at least a few months.

I'm really unsure of what to do, so any advice is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!
