Further proof there's no such thing as a 5 minute job. Excellent recovery James!!!
As the engineer of a major London theatre, we had around 50 toilets. If one of them broke or developed a problem, we had 15 minutes to replace it between performances. The spare was already assembled in the workshop and the plumbing was in a duct behind. Simply turn the water off, undo the cap and lining in the duct, unscrew the pan, pull the old one out, replace with the spare, refix the pan, reconnect the water. Job done.
All the screws were either brass or stainless, so their was no corrosion to worry about and being close coupled, we did not fix the cistern to the wall. We also had a cutout of damp proof felt, to avoid the need for sealing
We could also replace just the cistern if the pan was fine.
The old unit was then taken back to the workshop and refurbished for next time.
With 2 guys working together. I have seen the replacement completed in less than 5 minutes. In public buildings, it was just the normal way of life.
Needless to say, I hate domestic work. Replacing a toilet for a friend took me the best part of a day. LOL
sooo many times my 5 minute jobs turn into me focusing on the work for 5, the prep and thinking took 10-20 min
Exactly how life goes, well documented job that went a riot. No fake bullshit or trying to make it look like everything is always perfect, real life plumbing. Great video mate
Been watching your videos for a few years now. In that time I've replaced a few toilets, a few radiators, all of my taps and done a few minor repairs. You've saved me a fortune.
Hit the thanks button then and send me a fortune! 😂😂😂 Seriously though glad to help. 👍

Freebie Plumbing? No wonder things went wrong!
That was a brilliant video!! Good to see things go wrong for even the most confident of plumbers!! Good work!!
Thing I love about this channel is you show the good and the bad. As a chippy, I’ve done this a few times, cutting cables is easy fix, cutting or drilling into pipe work is really not fun.
but would you charge the customer money for repairing the cable or pipe work like this guy did? I took my car into a garage for repairs once and they blew the engine. They paid for the replacement engine themself because it was their fault.
@@MarkLikesCoffee860 no
A beauty of a video to show the apprentices. How a straight forward job can go tits up 👍🏻
😂😂😂
Little advice (strangely not related to the “incident”) if you have been hands deep in urea and are washing them in the kitchen sink, remove the baby bottles yes they are probably going to be disinfected but just a little precaution. 9:31
Omg, yes correct. If I ever did that the mother would have beat me senseless for endangering her infant! And bury my under that broken pipe!
Great video James, shows what can go wrong,and, shows that even when things don’t go to plan it can be fixed! 😅
Glad to see you put the old bog on the front drive, as is tradition.
Lol, why is it tradition? 😂
@@Teqnyq No idea, but it's what a lot of people in England do - presumably, to advertise to the neighbours and passers by - most will find it funny - a few will find it distasteful!
@@mikebashford8198 nice. I'm going to look out for this 😂
I see it all the time in the UK and makes me giggle haha .
@@Teqnyq Its the front drive toilet that people put out for passersby to use.
Best vid I’ve seen in ages. Total respect for showing even experts sometimes encounter unexpected problems. Really good to see the recovery method you used. Keep them coming.
I love you more than ale....!
This guy is not an expert😂😂😂😂
That’s what your Mum said! 😂 Happy Crimbo!
@@plumberparts whats my mum got to do with it? Doesn't make any sense.....
@@plumberparts no answer? No more insulting comments?
Any more jokes about my deceased mother? Kind of proves the person you are tbh, i really hope we meet some time in the future. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great Video and Well Done for showing what can happen to all us pros. Being an "Old School" In the bad old days we fitted those S type pans through the floor and upturned the pan and filled it with mortar with a hardboard cover, turned it over again and laid it in position then slid off the hardboard. Left the job overnight and it was set to the floor in the morning. Post Fix would have done us proud. How many guys have struggled to remove those. Cheers Buddy
Oh wow I've always wondered how that worked. I hate trying to remove those toilets. And I come across so many where the hardboard wasn't removed but left in position for 30 odd yrs
I’ve always wondered how those pans were fitted without making a mess. Thanks for explaining how the big ball of cement got there I’m chipping out when ripping them out 👍
We removed a cemented pan, obviously have to smash the pan to bits but once that's done a few good wallops separated the cement from the floor in one go.
These are the best types of videos because anyone who does DIY knows not everything goes to plan. Knowing where the stopcock is located is number 1 priority 😂
Great vid. Good to see it’s not just us DIY’ers that have these nightmare situations. Lovely recovery.
Cracking video, good to see the solution for the problems that can happen. I wouldn't expect anything less from a pro, cheers.
So glad i seen this video. I've been watching your videos for years and this one just proves that not all jobs go smoothly, even for the pros.
The air would have been bluer than the blue roll if that had happened to me! Well done for carrying on and showing how to fix! Great video 😊
Brilliant recovery , expertly handled, I was instantly freaking out, that floors got a come up.. what a pro.. you should have a few more disasters very entertaining 😂
At least the bog was on the ground floor. You would have been right in the Sh1t if it was upstairs. It happens to us all but it was nice to see you handle the situation in your usual way. With a smile on your face and as cool as a cucumber. Great video.
Great video James it’s good to show even the professionals don’t always get it right the first time . Keep them coming
Happy Christmas
Mark B
Brilliant video .just goes to show you how easily things can go wrong very entertaining good job done
You are absolute class. Nice to see even pros have issues on the job:)
I'm just re-routing the mains cold under my toilet and this video popped in my head, good shout this video, made me think a bit more about route and taking a photo of where the pipes are before the finish floor goes down.
Love watching you do these jobs. Great work
Big respect to all plumbers out there having to deal with the cowboy work / diy efforts of the person in before them.
Thanks for sharing this! Lucky you that you didn't do this in Sweden. Our plumbing standard does not allow hidden joints on mains water, e.g. no joints in the wall or concrete, you have to be able to inspect them. Normally , it should be pipe in pipe so you just replace the inner pipe without tearing up the floor. But if you are unlucky, you would have to redo the entire bathroom or lay new visible pipes all the way from some adjacent room where a pipe is accessible. But on the other hand, you are not allowed to drill in the bathroom floor to start with, everything is fixed with adhesive.
The best piece of content the man has ever posted 😂😂 Good man James!
What a great job you’ve done there under the circumstances I’m well impressed with how you coped with the damaged pipe you are “ super plumb”
Great job, this is what sorts out the men from the boys, when things go wrong 👍🏻
Your attitude through that was impressive. I'd be cussing up a storm. Nicely done.
Pans all siliconed down since 2010. Learned this lesson long time ago.
UFH wet or electric was also a consideration. Fair play for posting this one 👍🏻
Thank you so much for capturing this moment on video, I genuinely haven’t laughed this hard all year 😂😂😂😂
Haha! Cheers!
Amazing what a feeling when shit goes sideways. Good to see how a professional fix’s things in the heat of the moment. ( had to laugh tho bit I did feel for you in that situation)
Thanks for sharing. Great to see that things don't run smoothly for even pro's
Well done chap, especially working under that pressure. The (gone wrong) vids are especially interesting to watch 👍👍👍👍👍😂
Forgive the crying emoji, my fingers 🤦♂️
I genuinly laughed. Such an honest video! And interesting to see the improvised reaction! You got yourself a new subscriber
The solemn 'I hate my life' with head bowed, shoulders slumped and on wet knees was comedy gold❤️⭐
i feel the pain,stress kills too,great video ,good job,i happened to drill a hole for condense pipe and went through a 22 mm hot supply ,the loft was above the flat upstairs and they wernt in...lucky for me the boy i was with climbed up the outside and got in through a window,while we used the washing up bowl to deflect the hot water .
Fantastic video James and fair play for posting. I would love for my wife to watch it so she'd understand that it's not just me that these things happen to 😅
Indeed! 😂
James lad! I'm I spark came across your video. You're funny as with your videos. Well done, bud
last job yesterday was fitting a wc onto a concrete floor , pipework in the concrete , it got siliconed down :) excellent video outlining the pitfalls , keep em coming ,have a great christmas
Great informative entertainment right there..drilling through concrete floors always has some risk and finding the stop tap quickly can up the panic..well sorted in the end even if it was at mates rates…
Good lesson to always find the main water water shutoff location before working on plumbing.
I know right! Good lesson for a plumber!
Yeah isolators for each component are overrated. I’m going to stop fitting them from now on!
It is lucky for this case, they didn't turn off the water main, so the issue can be identified right after it happened.
You dont turn it off...Its just nice to know where it is before anything happens@@Koh-Wei-Jian
@@Koh-Wei-Jian..yes that's exactly what I thinking..put the raw plug in and the screw and a very slow leek then he would have to rip it all aut again so he was very lucky really could have walked away..and then get the bad news...total nightmare...
Happy Christmas and a happy new year to you James and thankyou very much for helping us Wannabees for all of your skills and tips. 🙂👍🇬🇧
nice finish. thank you this video
always good to change the pan connecter as not all toilets are exactly the same so could start to leak if you dont replace awesome vid as always unluck with the pipe had that a couple times lol
No good deed goes unpunished. Great job keeping your composure and getting ur done ✅
As a spark with all the great sparking content makers on youtube, this is still one of my favourite channels.
In future when the shit hits the fan on a job im on, im going to tackle it with a smile like you, James.
Always great videos jimmy never stop
I'm sorry but your just amazing for showing us every step for the install and especially how to get out of trouble
Mate so many new builds have pipes hiding underneath. I was securing a toilet the other day and went through a gas pipe. Luckily I knew what to do so I lit a match and legged it 🙂
Loving your sense of humour 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please leave your contact details so I can recommend you to my mates! 🤣
Ha!
On a serious note, I don’t think a detector would have picked that pipe up, it being plastic. Perhaps a test of different ways of finding pipes/cables would make a good video. Cheers mate.
@@hoog111 yeah I agree
You could easily have scrapped that video. Glad you put it out! Had a good laugh - nice to see it sorted quickly. 😊
"No Richard on that," 😂😂 that was funny stuff. 👍you're not right in the heed , luv it .
Your videos are great. This sort of thing usually happens to me when I try DIY.
Now. That was funny... 🤣🤣🤣
Jimmy's new moto... "bodge it with silicone", ....... "oh yer - & hold tight".
Such a plumber thing to do 🤣🤣🤣😊
Nice one jimmy - really acknowledge your honesty on the screw up though I did find it funny in seeing you getting someone to help you until you got the supply cut off. Missing the "Ale Army". How is the engine going for the aeroplane? Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Love to Ems
That's a great video and a tidy fix up. I had a similar looking situation in an understair toilet replacement. I suspected the water main ran right under it as it had no screws or glue. Taking no chances, I used Evo sticks like sh**t turbo on it. It never moved.
Tbh mate it’s the best video, this is what people want to see 😅
I shed a tear for you when that water came up through that hole!!! From one plumber to another I know that heart sinking moment when something like that happens 😅😢 really is a cruel game at times!
WOW! That even got my heart racing
That's some quality watch'n!
Great video!
Subscribed!
happens to the best of us top bloke for showing it
I had a lock shield fail on me on a secondary circ hot water system.... I could hold it back with a rag but I knew I was in bother because at some point I had to leave it and find isolation valves.... A few deep breaths and off I went leaving hot water spewing out of a valve in a ceiling space.... I found valves in about 4 minutes..... The best plumbers are 1s who can cope with shit like this happening without panicking... Great work 👌👌
Hold tight the plumbers here.... Great video cool an calm under pressure 👐🏾
Best video ever! What a man! 👏🏽👏🏽
Brilliant video, you made me laugh no end with your jokes. I lobe these videos and your mannerism is really funny. Top bloke, also helped me with loads of plumbing jobs too.
One of your best videos. 👌
Great bed time viewing, did make me chuckle, great video 😂
Always a night mare when jobs go like that feel for you James reallife plumbing at its best 😂
That cheered me up!
Did a downstairs cloakroom and a basin replacement recently and practically everything you never would have thought of happened.
Regrouped.
PS. Couldn't find the link for the Bosch tile drill bits
HOLLLLLLLD Tight 😂! Love it , great vid 👊
Bring back more of the olden day you tube video James!!!!
Just used push fit and it worked very well. I have worked in the building industry and some of the things that go on you are left amazed. Was once fitting a lighting unit, two sockets in the ceiling. All power was off, fuses taken out and in my pockets. I plugged the unit in and got around four hundred volts. It turned out that the electricians had bye passed the electrical unit, fuse box drawn a line directly in
Honest vlog.great recovery😅
Best video I've seen today, bravo!
Such a great video - this is how you respond to a mistake - contain, improve, move on :)
Drill or dig enough holes into the unknown then eventually you get a surprise.
Good recovery! I can’t work out why a pipe was under there. The sink is to the right of the toilet, surely you would run a pipe from that direction? Possibly using the boxed in section to hide it in.
How great to see a video showing what to do when sh** happens ... instead of a perfect set of circumstances....which is real life. The last house I owned had "diagonal" wiring and plumbing in places. You could drill in places there was absolutely no reason for a wire in particular and ... 💥
I was traumatised the whole video waiting for a dark corn cob come flying out the flex pipe 😬😅
I thought plumbers always located the main shut off valve before starting the job at all 🤣
But then you don't realise youve hit a water pipe until the end of the job hahaha
FEW THINGS: I DID USE AN INSERT - Also I'd not normally pop JG under the floor, but it held fine under test and can't pop off because it's bagged and cemented in for gods sake! I look forward to all your moaning though...you old gits!

This is the real world, and uncovering unknowns is always a test. Great recovery sir.
😂 I love doing DIY on my own house because I know where everything is.........I think 😮 and I hate bodgery......unless it's really necessary.
Top entertainment value as ever James.
Shame the job went to shit but its good for people to see the everyday struggle of plumbers always something fighting you
I like to see a JG speedfit connector on your videos. I have been using them for 38 years. Not a single leak. Which is more than you can say for a compression fitting! In a world where JGs exist, why does anyone use a compression fitting?
Real life plumbing at your phone. Great video fully enjoyed
Great vid mate, Not a plumber, I'm a sparks but I fixed an electrical fault on some under floor heating the other day and the customer was unsure I'd fixed it? Luckily iv got a phone with built in thermal imaging i turned it on to show them the pipes warming up.... It was then I noticed the pipes going right under the toilet 😮lucky for the bathroom fitter he just missed them 😂
Well I know what my nightmares will be for the next week 😂. We've had a few plumbing issues since moving and it's clear the previous owner bodged some things and just didn't do some things right. Having a reliable, professional plumber has been a life saver.
Real world plumbing lol. Thanks for sharing
Awesome video you kept cool and calm throughout even after the water feature had been found 😂👌👌
Love how you've posted this regardless! Pain in the ass for you...but entertaining for us 😂
What a great video, felt for you when that water sprung!
Another great video, thanks, James. Did you put silicone under the pan also or just around the perimeter? Thanks Chris.
Your best video that. Real life problems caught on camera 😂
How calm was you when that water starting coming up I would of cut filming and panicked 😂👏👏 fair play mate, bog fittted, drama sorted…just another day in the life of a plumber 😅👊
He was calm because he charged the customer money for the repair. so he made money from it. I would have panicked because of my loss of time and money because it's not fair to let the customer pay.
OMG. I really felt the pain of that. Couple of things from my years of suffering in this trade: Always put those cistern bolts on first as the flush and fill valves sometimes obscure the holes. Also, i always keep a couple of those brass compression burst pipe fittings on the van. They are about 10cm long and at least one end is a slip coupling. They can bridge quite a large removed section. That retailer you went to sells them item no. 85529.
Yeah kudos for showing everything. The only comment I'll make is for any job (maybe just because I'm a bit of a pessimist) I'd always find where the main cutoff (or the equivalent for the job) are just in case. Backups for PC stuff. Bucket or water at the ready for other stuff etc.
Real life plumbing mate 😮💨😂
Brilliant job. Accidents happen its how you solve the problem that counts.
Absolutely love this video. I like plumbing DIY but wow, I hope this doesn’t happen to me for anything.
Amazed how you kept smiling i would be going bloody bananas 🙂great repair .
Well done mate for keeping that in video.🤣
I love cowboys like you😂😂😂 you done every possible shortcuts 😂😂😂
Great video as always, the moment you hit that pipe brings back memories, great that you show things like this - not sure about washing your toilet hands in a sink with baby bottles in though 🤮😂
Quote of the video
“If i had glued it we would be going home now”
We all have our what ifs when it goes wrong
This is real world plumbing as which one of us would have scanned the floor before we drilled that hole? None
The way you said oh dear 😂😂😂
Your a legend in this game 💪🏼
Ha! Cheers man!
Done the same fitting a new shower unit to the wall pipe went vertical but then turned horizontal right across the new fixing position. felt your pain the joys of our trade either pipes or cables to hit.
When I saw gayser of water shooting from the floor I start laughing, but in the same time I was dying inside. Great video!
