Loose handrail

My handrail is coming off at the bottom of the stairs. I’m debating what to do. I think the plaster has crumbled under the force of me holding on to it, it has been a bit damp there so it could be that which has caused it.

Anyway I’m going to try using a strong adhesive. Possibly by glueing the rawl plugs in place first, then using it to glue the plate in place and screening up the screws back into the wall. Does this make sense? Fingers crossed!

Repair tape

This morning the bottom door shelf of my fridge collapsed when I put the milk carton back in it. When I checked the bump on the door that sticks out had broken off…! I looked at the broken piece. It was about a centimeter by three centimeters and stuck out by about half a centimetre, but it wasn’t solid. It was only about half a millimeter thick and it looks like the whole inside door panel is just vaccuum formed!

Wnhat to do? I tried an epoxy glue but it wasn’t holding it. I put the shelf back in place but you could see the crack where it was pulling away. I’m NOT going to buy a new fridge (shades of my broken door catch). So I went out and bought some transparent repair tape. It’s not pretty, I can’t get the tape very flat, but it’s holding, for now.
