Thanks for the Sunday Tiff therapy again. Enjoyed that one. I changed the waste in my bathroom basin and it was an absolute pain with the pedestal in the way.
Another great Sunday video Mark. You can’t beat those basin mates, always get you out of trouble. Good luck in your new job Dave, hopefully see you in Tiffs plumbing adventures. 🙂👍
Another great video M,i'm renovating at the moment and recently plumbed in 2 toilets and basins and all i could hear in my head was your voice saying "do this do that" so thanks for the great info 👍👍👍
Give Dave my best wishes he's been a good sport on your channel. I love the basin mates work a treat. And ive had the joys of an ideal flush valve washer change. Nice simple job. 😊. Just wish I could afford a tappex kit been struggling changing 20 pairs of taps in some boxed in basins with a 12" square access in front of each one.
New subscriber after seeing you on matt Armstrongs channel. I can’t believe that the first few videos i have watched you have help solve 2 problems that i have had recently. Number one i have the same sink unit with the same leak. I have fitted 2 new complete units and it’s still leaking. I guess i just need that cone shaped seal. Number 2 my toilet was leaking in the same way. I replaced the whole mechanism. The seal had perished and it was only 3 years old. Now i believe that it was my fault as i have put bleach in there a few times.(i won’t be doing that any more) if only i had known i could have just replaced the seal. I like this sort of content and it will help me in the future.
Any basin taps I'm doing.... always use a " split Klick " centralising washer before backnut saves the tap spinning later & tightens up a dream ...even with plastic back nuts....regards.
Great video mate mainly due to a lot of relatable content.......i've been using basin maits for years now and wouldn't contemplate renewing a waste without using one also the ideal standard washers i buy by the dozen as nearly all properties built in the last 10 years have them and lastly is Dave going because of the impending Huws Gray takeover ? because that's what happened at my local Buildbase.......Keep the van intro.....you like it i'm sure the majority of us do so 😝
Dave’s been saying he’s leaving for years so I guess he finally decided to go…. Yer basin mates are brilliant….. and your right about the ideal washers
Good video Mark. So you don’t need any silicone on those basin wastes then wow that’s a plumber’s dream as there’s always that we bit of tension as you open the tap to see if it’s leaking. Must get a few of them. Who’s makes the flush valve is that Tom Dudley as well. Good luck Dave it’s very hard to find anyone in a plumbers merchant that is pleasant and helpful. In Belfast there’s one particular merchants that I avoided like the plague because they all sat on chairs behind the counter with their arms folded, they only spoke to a certain click of plumbers and they would only serve plumbers. They didn’t like the public going in because the public were never too sure or knew the exact name of the part they needed. They also charged a fiver just to get through the door the time of the big freeze in 2011 as well as hiked up the price of 22 mm comp straights. Yes Dave you are complete gold, and sets the benchmark for customer relations. Superb content.
Yep the Basin Mate is a must have for the van mate… get a few as they pay for themselves.. Yep Dave is what we call a “proper plumbers merchant” guy….. will go out his way to help
Great video again Mark. You mentioned in this one that because the customer has a combi that you weren't bothered about fitting isolation valves. Makes complete sense to me especially when it makes for a fiddly job. Is it ok to do this if it's a combi set up? Just been to a job where the set up was the same but my initial thought was to get some isolation valves on?
At that basin mate job, it looks like tape has been applied to the threads of the shutoff valves instead of/as well as the olives. DIY job I'm guessing. I love basin mates, better than mastic and no drying time. You can buy them separately without a click clack. x
Plumbsave Dave: it even rhymes! Definitely the end of an era… but the start of a new one as well. If I did enough miles to justify it, I reckon I’d have an electric car. We’ve got a couple of Lotus dealerships and I had a go in an Eletre the other day. It’s a lovely motor but that whirring noise you can hear is Colin Chapman turning in his grave!
You can buy the basin mates on their own been using them for years on whatever waste you want and never had a problem can't understand why I still see people messing around with silicone or plumbers mate its such an unnecessary waste of time and mess
Good shout, when Tiff said about these a while ago I did think to myself I'm not going to go out and buy another hole when I've got one but will be stocking up on these. Cheers
Hi Mark, some nice jobbing jobs there, easy and quick for a man with your talent. Sad to see Dave going, all the best to Dave in his new job, will he be the new manager? Have a great week and as always, take care, regards Chris. 👍👍👍
good work mate not a fan of those pop up wastes as eventually they seize up depending on how hard the water is or how cheaply they are made and you have to put your fingers into what ever mess you made in the Basin to get it to drain away. i have a few of those Dudley basin rubbers ive yet to try them
For tight spaces under a basin i use my basin nut spanner, i understand u cant use it on a basin mate though, however just do it the old fashioned way 😳
F**k the plumbing....Dave's off! Sad news Mark as he is a legend. Every plumbers dream, a plumbing supplies manager who bends over backwards to help is tradesmen. Legend...All the best Dave.
Whilst we have not seen so much of him lately, Dave, we missed. Go back to your old style videos where you had far more banter and trips to the merchants and other stuff on the channel as well. And keep the van intro
Them waists just don't have enough flow i recent swapped the same in the bathroom that replaced the like for like years ago , problem is the pipes ect get blocked and u-bend over time even using sink cleaner ect sorts it but the issue still comes back so i just went for the Rotative type and now there is monsoon flow when fully opened, u-bend and waist were really blocked when i removed them even after using strong cleaners, oh and EV the people in power think Ev is the future yet they never done a days work the Ev vans and tippers ect lol with range nothing will ever get done as they must think everyone just uses a pen, oh i forgot look at Toolstation's Made4Trade waists as they come with a sealing kit you like its the one i got very good seal kit supplied

Get yourself the basin waste box spanner mate. Good for situations like this 👍🏼
Yep someone else mentioned this… will get one this week
@@MJTiffPlumbing I’ve got a spare one I can send you if you want to try it out before you get one mate
Thanks for the offer mate…. However they are about £10 from toolstation so I will grab one.
Genuinely Appriciate the offer though buddy…..
Any basin taps I'm doing.... always use a " split Klick " centralising washer before backnut saves the tap spinning later & tightens up a dream ...even with plastic back nuts....regards.

If it’s easy enough to drain down etc… no harm in it

Yep basin mates are brilliant
Well done, and good luck to your mate. Sorry if me being dumb but i seen the two fibre washes with the taps, but where do they go ?
I fitted new ones 👍🏼
Pity Dave is going best of luck to him in his new venture hope you have a good new manager
Hopefully I will still get to see him now and again where he’s going….
And the new manager is coming soon so we will see😉👍🏼
They make a box spanner for basin waste nuts. It's perfect for these scenarios.
Yep someone told me about them earlier… need to get myself one
U can get box spanners for basin wastes,like taps
Yep so I’m hearing… will be getting one this week
Plumbsave Dave: it even rhymes! Definitely the end of an era… but the start of a new one as well. If I did enough miles to justify it, I reckon I’d have an electric car. We’ve got a couple of Lotus dealerships and I had a go in an Eletre the other day. It’s a lovely motor but that whirring noise you can hear is Colin Chapman turning in his grave!
Colin Chapman would never ever of let Lotus go electric…… really can’t believe what they have done as a company…
Yep, Plumbase Dave will be missed
You can buy the basin mates on their own been using them for years on whatever waste you want and never had a problem can't understand why I still see people messing around with silicone or plumbers mate its such an unnecessary waste of time and mess
Great things to keep in the van ready to use 👍🏼👍🏼
I always keep 3 on the van. quick and easy never had one leak👍
Yep always carry some spare Thomas Dudlet Basin mates…👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
Good shout, when Tiff said about these a while ago I did think to myself I'm not going to go out and buy another hole when I've got one but will be stocking up on these. Cheers

Loafer's top tip.
A garden hanging basket liner, makes a handy Donald Trump wig, for your upcoming Christmas, fancy dress party.

A good merchant is worth spending money with for amateurs (like me) and professionals too! Good luck Dave.

Top lad dave, one off the originals. All good before you went global.🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
They do make a box spanner for them waste nuts….doesnt fit em all… but might of saved you removing the panel
Yep I need to get one in the tool bag 👍🏼👍🏼
That original waste seal was the wrong way around was it not?
Are you asking me or telling me….. 🤣🤣

Glad you enjoy them buddy👍🏼👍🏼
I remember in 80 as an apprentice sparky plumber used window putty then 90 silicone through the gaskets away there useless
