You said in part two you would mention the cost of refurb getting someone else to do it vs doing it yourself. Could you tell me as I think you forgot to mention it! Thanks
Awesome mini series!! At the end of part 2 you mentioned you'll tell us the cost of doing this ourselves vs hiring someone to do it. Did I miss this in the video somewhere?
Cracking job mate. Couple of weeks pointers. The easy fix for the shower. The copper shouldn’t be popping out. It should be cut flush or slightly behind as the copper can stop the connections sitting flush and may cause a leak. The fixings for towel rad. I would have the screw that’s showing facing downwards. Gives it a cleaner look and sometimes can start discolour after time.
Ive been binge watching loads of your videos! Quality content! I've bought a house with my girlfriend, which we will be moving into in the coming weeks, so will get to use these videos! I m an engineer by trade but i love learning new skills so anything hands on im all for!! Thanks again for the brilliant content!! Keep them up!!!
Hello mate big watcher of your content great stuff you do classic request comment if you ever have scope can you do a tutorial on built in wall niche ? I’ve seen these go by various different terms but essentially putting a shelve / cover internally into a wall via plasterboard or the self made niche coves
Great content. I’m not trying to be a smart ass but when fitting taps to sinks the crescent shaped washer is designed to be used from the top - fed into the tap hole with the lock nut already loosely fitted to the stud. No more fiddling under the sink trying to start the nut. Adjust the crescent washer to clamp the tap correctly. Easy! Looking forward to your next videos.
Hi Cam, great job as always and you are a natural at demonstrating. I call it a win for you, every room I do there is *always* one other thing to finish 😅 thanks for the video 👍🏻
I've just had my bathroom dot dabbed and skimmed. When running 15mm copper shower mixer pipework in the wall, once the hot/cold pipes are clipped into the raggled sections, what's best to use to fill the raggles in and conceal the pipes? Plaster? Also, should the copper pipe be protectively taped, as I understand the copper can react to certain agents?
Your bathroom make over turned out 110% perfectly, congratulations on a job extremely well done, why should you not seal the inside of the shower? Best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
With the popularity of cold-plunges, and considering a refrigerator outputs 32-40F (0-4C)... I'd love to remodel a bathroom, such that with a flip of a switch somewhere, 30-minutes later, ice-water will come out of the shower-head (2gallons/min for a few minutes)! Any thoughts if this is do-able , or is a shower's water flow too much for on-demand ice-cold? I'd also like to add heat lamps.. in the winter nothing like getting out of HOT shower, and having a nice warm towel and some heat to dry off!
Cracking Job ..so neat and thoughtful workmanship 10/10 all round .🎉 Learn alot from your vidoes . I like that , compact drill . is that a combi drill . Not sure to go for 12v or 18v but dont want a big heavy ting
Great job as always. I don’t think you’ve done a video on plastering walls? Apologies if I’m wrong, be great to see how you do that, tools required etc 👍
Shower screens are extremely fragile!! I once took off one and placed on concrete and it shattered into little pieces which fell on me. I guess I learned from experience
I wondered the same. I assume the logic is to allow water to drain from behind the fixture into the tub. However, I see this an eventual point of failure. Water is extremely resilient at finding ways into everything. So if you don’t silicone the inside, water will certainly work behind it & eventually into the screw holes and into the wall. Personally I’d seal it all or do the opposite approach. Protecting the side exposed directly to water & moisture. Or just load the back of the metal w/ silicone, allowing squeeze out around all edges, then quickly cleaning up and refining the bead. I am interested to hear other’s opinions. Edit: I’m only speaking about the metal fixture supporting the glass, not the glass itself.
@@ZanDeeMan I recently re-siliconed my shower and I did indeed silicone the metal and the glass which meets the shower tray. Maybe I wasted some time but I certainly don't feel ive made a mistake which will lead to issues. Better to be overkill right?
@@prodical666 Exactly! I feel like he was actually talking about silicone the bottom of the glass to the tub in the video and it was an editing oversight. Because you definitely want to encapsulate that metal fixture in silicone. Basically anywhere that the "waterproof" membrane of the wall is punctured by fasteners. You also want to make sure you use high-grade silicone rated for bathrooms/showers. Overkill is my approach when it comes to anything structural or waterproofing. I over-build decks, stairs, and I try to add an extra layer or redudancy when patching a roof, installing a shower membrane, etc.
It is to allow drainage, as someone has eluded to above. If you seal behind you have a chance of creating a 'reservoir' of stagnant water inside the shower screen fixture.
@@normiedeathsquad40 Ok so with that logic, I believe we should only silicone on the inside of the shower screen? The side the water hits. But he does say we should only silicone the outside... still a bit confused.
2:04 wait…before you cut the pipe, you had installed the compression fitting WITH an olive….and when you cut the pipe, the compression fitting had been removed? How did you disassemble the compression fitting?
@@TheDIYGuy1 Hi I did checkout episode1 but it only shows you fitting shower taps etc. Whats behind the wall water feed, whats it connected too? combi or power shower???
9:04 9:0410:40 Since we've had the Olympic Gymnastics dipping into their bags of chalk today, is that what you're doing here with the tile bit? P.S. 11:30 Fancy pants toilet pan screw covers I note. None of your standard wafer thin white plastic clip-ons which go rusty brown and fall off as soon as look at them. Not for this client!

Ah sure. If you use it on the inside, you will find that any water that gets trapped behind the silicone in the frame will cause mould as it cannot escape from the frame.
What series do you guys want next? Let’s go big?!
how to fix a pipe if youve drilled through it
I would love to see a complete upgrade of my house. I reckon most people would enjoy that :p
Loft extension or garage conversion would be quality!
Would love to see the rest of the workshop build, but I'm sure you're busy with it?
Dorma or a full wrap around extension

Yes I would like to know that to.

The finished bathroom looks fantastic! And I would think Mrs. DIY and your family were thrilled with the results, and that's the most important thing.
Not a failure at all another great job Well done

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series!
Looks great! Would love to see you do like an office setup.
Thanks for the idea!
Super job as always.. wonderful ability to explain the most difficult jobs in easy terms that even I feel confident doing it 😂
You can do it!
The part for the tap can be pre assembled and put in through the top so you don't have to fiddle as much under the vanity
👍 good point
@TheDIYGuy1 to be fair it's a lot easier to do when don't have a basin or pipework in the way :) can't wait for next project
Now that's a bathroom to be proud of 👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧
Where do you lead off of the hot and cold pipes for the shower and bath? Is there a junction below the bath taps? Loving this series!
Fantastic workmanship & attention to detail
Thank you very much!
Another top job, an avid subscriber for several years now.
Fantastic refurb and high end finish, well done mate
Many thanks! Glad to have you following for those years 👍
Amazing job. Love those wall panels. No way would say you have failed...
That’s a success. Looks great.
Appreciate it 👍
First class job, by my standards I don’t think you failed. It takes me for ever. Enjoy your videos.
Glad you like my videos. Thanks 👍
What an amazing series that was I thoroughly enjoyed it thanks a million.

Hi, thanks a lot! Always good to leave a little something for a rainy day lol

Well done! Takes longer having to film it and it looks like a quality finish
Looks lovely! Great job on getting it done. Shoutout to the guy helping with the shower screen 😅
Haha that’s Chris, he gets all the fun jobs 😂👍
You've done a cracking job mate you should be proud of doing all that in 10 days. Remember that 70% of the time goes on that final 10% :)
Looks fantastic, your family must love it. really enjoyed watching and learning.
They do, glad you learnt something
Would love to do it. But alone it would be difficult 😢
The floor in that bathroom bust be very high up now compared to the next room? how did you blend the difference in heights across the door area?
Great Job
Thanks 🙏
Quality work DIYGuy, greatseries!
Excellent series Sir
Great job looks amazing mate .....👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Hello neighbour! I wish he lived down here.

Thanks, Silicone on the inside traps water in the frame which cannot escape anywhere and will mould over time
Nicely done and a lovely bathroom, nice work.
Thank you! 😊
cracking job fair play
🙌 nice one
Will those brackets support the radiator? I am sure they will if you are using them but they look very small and its just one screw and plug?
They will 😀
4:55 anyone can help me out, and explain why on the outside? thanks in advance.
Great job with the bathroom! What did you do with the bathtub wall how did you install that and tile it
Quality work, doesn't look like a fail to me
Brilliant cheers 😊
really great job and 10 days
🙌
Brilliant job mate!! 👏🏼
Thanks a lot!
Fantastic effort! When do you use locktite vs jointing compound???
Jointing compound is for compression fittings mostly to lubricate the olive when tightening 😀. Loctite is for sealing threads
Cheers
Another perfect job! 👍

Great video !!! thanks
Glad you liked it!
Imagine maintaining the flush valve now it's all been sealed in
Most parts can be accessed through the flush plate. Anything else shouldn’t need to be accessed.
Excellent job 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Good job 👌
👍👍👍Top Job. Thank you
Thank you too!
Great video series. Do you not have to fill the bath again to fit the shower screen? Love your videos. Thanks for posting.

Thanks. I can do a little plastering but not good enough to teach you guys 😀
Well done mate, i'd not get away with 10days to do that. lol
Haha it’s tough going!
10 days?! I had 2 Romanians do mine in 5.....but that was 6 months ago and I'm beginning to repair all of their failings myself now 🤦♂️😭😭😂
Top job, great vid
Thanks 👍
Shower screens are extremely fragile!! I once took off one and placed on concrete and it shattered into little pieces which fell on me. I guess I learned from experience
It happens unfortunately
Out of interest how did you know the height for the first fix waste pipe so it neatly lines up with the trap? Keep it up, good work 👍

Hi why did you use loctite thread rather than ptfe tape?
Lovely old job

I thought you were going to tell us how much this whole project cost
What was the shower system behind the wall? Did you cover this in previous series?

Oh no! Thanks
Don't do yourself down, you would have finished easily if you hadn't been filming with setting up shots, moving the camera, explaining things and doing retakes.
That’s a very good point 😊, cheers
you got away with the shower! the copper pipe shouldn't protrude the fitting. some showers wouldn't go onto that.
I have the same shower in our new build but I know they got it from B&Q
May i ask, when you said only scilicone the outside of the screen and never the inside, whys that?
Silicone on the inside traps water in the frame which cannot escape anywhere and will mould over time
Why silicon on the outside of the bath screen and not on the inside too?
Snagging dont count. It can be used and IMO it you won
