Very interesting video! Pretty impressed by how well you coped with that tap on the Belfast sink - you’re now well practiced for doing the replacement!
That green rubber boot - WB idea of a fix for a known design flaw LOLLOLOLOL This and the crispy silicon gaskets in the Kebab heatX is why I would never have a WB in my gaff
Well played on the Belfast sink. Tight space 👍 I don’t reall do call outs but do jobbing plumbing at £70.00. /h for the first hour and then £40.00 plus parts. Cheers for the content!
I would have cut the back out of the unit to make it easier for me, no will see it when you replace it and the client has put back all the cleaning materials in front of it. Used to do work for a kitchen manufacturer who made the backs in all their units removable. Made it much easier for plumbers/electricians for any maintenance. Good videos mate.
Interesting video. I think it would be fair for plumb base to give u replacement tap or at least 40% off on the tap since it’s been use for 3/5 years. Remind me to never install a Belfast sink. 😂 Thanks buddy
Oh yes -I forgot the leaking tap but fully agree that if the customer supplies the hardware its their responsibility and they must pay for a new tap AND the cost of removal of the faulty one AND the installation of a new one! Fortunately new taps do not leak very often.
165 call charge includes parts within reason fixed within the hour if not remedial work arranged for the following day ...South Yorkshire....for the tap job ..
Them taps was easy mate loads of room there 😂 done well with that, £120 plus VAT Saturday daytime call-out for me if I actually go out can’t remember last time I did
Think that sinks older than me! Them taps want changing out really. That Belfast sink id be raging when the new one leaked 🖕. Quality of new stuff now is shocking all made as cheap as possible.
The Belfast sink. Removing the tap was fairly easy but you didn't show how you got the metal and rubber retaining washer into its correct position. In a normal sink its difficult enough making them stay in position so that the nut can be fitted to the thread.!! I would have told the customer I would remove the whole back and replace it rather than doing the job through the small hole! But well done you did it. Your basin tap on a Saturday I would have charged £120 ie time and a half.
Cheers Richard, with the nut and rubber etc I managed to reach up the back of the unit but I couldn’t film it. Should have said really. 🤦🏽♂️ and £95 I charged for the Saturday visit 🙏🏽
I find I need 3 hands for even a simple sink so how you did it must have been a masterclass in acrobatics and contortions!! £95 was a good price for a simple job I agree - you forgot to charge for the washer (5p) !! The last basin job I did which was very similar I just turned the washer over and a bit of grease!!
Nice one. Its hard to see but it looked like that tap spout wanted to be pushed further in the tap body. Isn't the white collar usually down inside with the cut out bit towards the back of the tap? Then the bush would sit down on the body without any thread showing . But its not your problem anyway, so no worries...just wasted your time.
Dan, I only install grohe kitchen tap which I buy from Costco for £85+VAT and I charge the client £150 + VAT. They never go wrong and if the do Costco refund within 3 years 🤷 If the client wants their own tap even better.
Sounds like a decent deal. From a decent manufacturer that mate. Yeh thankfully the customer supplied this tap. However i obviously supplied the shit one from Plumbase 😂😂😂
@@Heatking I've bought taps from plumbase and they are made in China and break in no time 🤦 The client calls you back upset why it broke in two years or in this case sooner. Just fit German 👌
Thanks mate, this is a medium, but I’m tiny haha and it’s bloody best hoody I’ve had in a long time. Only paid £25 for it offline. (Can’t remember where) be too thick though for summer I recon.
Weekend call out 1.5x - x2 rate so I'd have been £150ish for that tap washer. Also I changed the washer in identical bath taps to those basin taps, I couldn't get the head off them either, and struggled getting in with a spanner.
@@Heatking oh Stoke on Trent too, I feel bad doing it but I'm always honest when they call me and I state if they can wait until the week I can do it cheaper, family time is more important :)
Great video as usual Dan, did you include the price of your tetanus shots in that call out? Why do people not empty out their cupboards for trades coming?
No chance replacing a 3 year old tap for free just cause it has a 5year warranty. 5year warranty is off the tap manufacturer If it had failed in the first 12 months then fit it for free if you supplied it but after that it's a chargeable job What if the tap had a warranty for 10 years and it failed 5 times in them 10 years are you fitting a new tap for free all them times if you go of checka trade you get 12months warranty off the company that's it . I have fence panels in my garden that have a 25 year warranty of the supplier, so does that mean the guys who fitted the panels have to replace a broken panel every time one breaks or cracks due to weather conditions cause the panels have a 25 year warranty. No chance
Everything you’ve said there makes perfect sense mate. Anything before 12 months replace for free if you’ve supplied. Any after. Charge at normal rate 💪🏼

Cheers Steve, I got lucky with that tap I think, and unlucky at the same time hahah
I’ve got the same arrangement at home with the Belfast sink , sink out every time makes your life easier
I thought I might have to do that to be honest 😂

Thanks matey. Yeh that was an option running through my head but managed without thankfully. Removable backs would be a dream 😂😂😂
Another good one Dan. 😊😊❤
Thank you as always Paul 🙏🏽
@@Heatking 😀 ❤️
there is a oring for the cold inlet in the flow adapter pack mate, not that ive ever used one though the old one always holds, cheers for the video 👍
Cheers Tom! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a oring in the pack 😂😂 will check properly next time!
Plumb base should resolve the issue, or at least share the cost. Great episode!
Thanks Richard, I agree. In the end I gave up and bought a new tap from screwfix 😆

You could be right there mate. I’m not 100% sure, it didn’t seem to want to go down any further like. 😂
Mate, multi tool the plywood back out and pack out with timber, then refit. I hate kitchen fitters
Yeh that could have been an option. But just about managed 🙏🏽
Get yourself a Nerrad Tapex kit mate, best thing I’ve ever invested in.
Had one mate, I gave it away on here 😂😂 too over priced now.
@@Heatking oh damn! I do agree is very pricey, but halves the times I do jobs so I feel it’s paid for itself
@@conorbryan9436 yeh mate I understand why people rate them to be fair. I just think they should drop that hefty price tag. Think they’re £180 now
@@Heatking agreed. I paid £170 for them at that was like 2 years ago
Love my tapex kit got me out the 💩 a few times
Good video, you must see some scruffy bathrooms
To be fair, not always, it’s only when it’s in some rentals. But most of the time they’re not tooooo bad haha.

As we can all tell from fitting taps many or most are made from very weak materials even those which quite expensive. Mafe in China no doubt
I think you’re right mate absolutely rubbish!
Excellent as always mate . Your blak lader hoddie is in any good ? Comfortable? Are you sizes big /small ? ❤
