Real world plumbing on a fixed budget! Elderly client retains her dignity when bathing and now doesn't need assistance in/out of the bath. And she's delighted with it!! Nice one. 👌👌👏👏👏👏
And there was me thinking you were going to find the old girls cat under the bath 🤣 nightmare having the meter there of all places 🙈 smashing job sir well done and great content as always
I think it couldn’t have turned out better. Great video, showing real world problems and solutions. Is that gas meter readable? Looks a weird place to have it!
Hopefully there is wood behind those tiles where u put that hand bar at. They really need blocking put in the walls before hand or there not going to take the load like there supposed too. Plumber did one for my parents shower told him to go back to the studs before he built the shower guess who told me he knows what he is doing. Before my parents paid him i pulled on the bar just like a person falling would guess what ripped out the wall with the toggle bolts he used guess who had to redo the shower before he got paid.
Love your bathroom videos mate I have learned lot's of tips fitting bathrooms for family and friends. Could you please answer me one question? I fitted a 1,2 x 700 shower tray in my own house, sat it on 18mm mdf and set it with CT1,it's been fine for a year but now the shower tray seems to rocking slightly when you are in the shower 😮 how can this be possible when it's laid on a flat board? Ignore the haters and keep producing the content 👌 Leeds,Leeds, Leeds 😅
Cheers pal, that’s a strange one is that, I’ve not come across that to be honest especially with ct1. Could be the fact you used mdf you’d of been better with plywood or cement boards
Thanks for your reply mate I'm as baffled as you? Can't see how it seems to be rocking slightly especially when the shower screen is sat on the tray?? See if anyone else as ever experienced this 😊 cheers all the same 👌
level 3 apprentice here. We put the shower pipe through the hole to stop it dropping into the water in the tray so it cant go back into the mains if it ever shuts off. Or so it cant drop and damage the tray. I think anyways, great video mate.
I agree it is to stop the water syphoning back but it more vital if the shower is over a bath rather than a shower tray.where the shower head could easily be completely submerged.
I’m 25 and I’m wanting to train as a plumber. Currently been doing driving jobs up to now but I want to get into the trade as I’ve fount a passion for something I finally want to do! I’m going to College for the level 2 diploma in September and wanting to do the odd course in the mean time. Do you have any tips as I feel it’s now or never with my age? 😂
It’s never too late to change career I know lads in the 30/40s that have done before. Experience is key doesn’t matter what you do at college. Onsite work is totally different
Mate go for it, artic driver.of 20+ years, last 2 years got my 6035 diploma, nvq2, unvented, water regs and cscs, mid 40s now, there is loads to learn but don't let it phase you, it gets better the more you do it. Go for it 💪👍
I give you the tip tho , use John Speed push fits , they’re way better than compression elbows, how many times , I have replaced the electric showers they always weeping full of water stains inside the covers and once you put new elbow or using the existing one in it or compression elbow the tread inside the nut due to long small leaks are corroded and weak they get cross threaded , I have never seen anything happen on push fit elbow.. and it’s much easier to replace new push fit elbow if you need it , and in another scenario what happens if someone installed push fit fitting behind that panel or compression elbow, you basically screwed, because once you use olive puller you will pull out all push fit of the pipe work or compression fitting behind that panel and you have all that water pissing out behind that panel , just take my advice rather use something practical than useless compression brass elbows, and it could squash the filter outlet while you tightening on shower plastic inlet , it’s definitely unfit for purpose…
Comes under an alteration and old colours should not really be re used, personally would have ran new cable from the isolator. Wiring predates the 17th Regs and the shower may not have had RCD protection hopefully that was checked. Thanks for putting the video up btw @@SmartPipePlumbing
I wasn’t impressed with that bodge, but MATE, that wasn’t a good job & you know it! I guess that’s what can get away with up north coz down here in the south, the way you plumbed the tray is beyond words!
@@SmartPipePlumbing I meant to chat with you the other day pulled up next to you in Wickes, I'm the renovation guy who was screwing about the sparky (builder) who installed electrical point directly below hot/cold feeds under sink in one of your videos just year 😂.
@@SmartPipePlumbing yeah bud I'm renovating the penthouse on the large building opposite lord D'Arcy pub on Harrogate rd been there over 6 months😂. I'll catch up with you next time I see your van👍

Exactly, real world plumbing at the finest. 🙌💯
Well done buddy, nice job that, keep doing what your doing.
Thanks 👍
You are amazing! Thank you so much for your hard work!
Thank you so much!
And there was me thinking you were going to find the old girls cat under the bath 🤣 nightmare having the meter there of all places 🙈 smashing job sir well done and great content as always
I once found a cat under the floor board I shit myself I thought it was a rat coming out
@@SmartPipePlumbinglol
Came out quite well when you consider what you was working with, spot on pal! as MJTIFF would say it’s real world plumbing😂💪
Thanks 👍 got to love abit of proper plumbing 🙌
I think it couldn’t have turned out better.
Great video, showing real world problems and solutions.
Is that gas meter readable? Looks a weird place to have it!
Thank you that means a lot, yes you can read the meter turns out there a little cupboard in the hall way to access it
Top job mate, i always forget the soap trays and end up taking the riser off again 😂
I’ve done that so many times 😂 glad it’s not just me
If the lady happy and can be used easily for her. job done ✔️ 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧☘️
Cheers pal, she was over the moon pal
Nobody should ever ever flag you off its a brilliant job well done 👏 😊
Thank you so much 🙌

Luckily there’s a brick wall where the bar is so plugged and screwed in the the wall
Tidy job, respect the hustle 👑👊🔥

Good job, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
First class job....well done

Mate those shower pipe caps are the bane of my life! Every goddamn time 🤣
I’ve just thrown the a few time to be honest 😂😂
Couldn’t see how you’d get that meter mare. Nice job! Task completed 😀
Cheers pal 🙌
Tidy job love the content.

Yeah it’s to stop back feeding dirty water in to the system
@@SmartPipePlumbing That's just total nonsense. It's to keep the hose tidy. The shower unit has a built in check valve. Is this a wind up?
@@stepbackandthink check your water regs and come back to us
I agree it is to stop the water syphoning back but it more vital if the shower is over a bath rather than a shower tray.where the shower head could easily be completely submerged.
How are you getting to the gas meter? Is there access the other side of the wall?
Yes there a hidden cupboard in the hallway, which the son didn’t know about when I quoted
Bingo . Was thinking the same thing.
Wow

age 25 is not too late for anything at all pal, least of all plumbing
just wondering why u didn’t just get a nonslip tray to begin with mate
So the 1800 we was originally getting they couldn’t get one that size and then i needed 1500 at short notice
@@SmartPipePlumbing 👍
How do you access the gas metre
A
Cupboard in the hall way a
How do you now get to the Gas meter ?
There’s a cupboard in the halfway
@@SmartPipePlumbing you made a good job of it tbf 👍🏻glad you didn’t use them shitty plastic boards 👍🏻
@@danielharrison5618 hate them, the don’t last 2 minutes
Is there any access to the gas wmeters
Yes there a access cupboard in the hall way
Bits coming off the new roller mate. Give it a quick wash first
Maybe so
How is that gas meter accessible now mate good job tho keep up the good work
Turns out this a hidden cupboard in the hall way, which the son didn’t know about

I’ve used them a few times to be fair when they are supplied but not all manufacturers let you use speedfit on them
What lesson, who puts a gas meter under a bath 😮
I wouldn't have even bothered with a spark, looks a pretty simple one
I wish I hadn’t to be honest he just snipped it and moved it across only charged me £20 though so happy days
@@SmartPipePlumbing wow no spark down here would charge that even my regular one
UK wiring colours changed in 2004 and came fully into effect in 2006 why is your Electrician installing nearly 20 year old cable?
Just moved the cable they didn’t install any new cable
Comes under an alteration and old colours should not really be re used, personally would have ran new cable from the isolator. Wiring predates the 17th Regs and the shower may not have had RCD protection hopefully that was checked. Thanks for putting the video up btw @@SmartPipePlumbing
Lol he put his level on the plaster board even though you can see a difference in levels
The walls were level and I was filling the gaps to make good 👍
🤘😎🤘
Cheers pal 🙌
Put a seat there
Don’t think you sealed behind profile mate
I don’t, I only seen the screw whole and the sealed out outside of the profile. It makes life easier if you ever have to changing it
Oh also seal where the tile/panel means the tray and about 300mm up the rest I online do the seals
Yeah I meant at bottom where ppl normally forget
Don’t know what you are supposed to do when quoting mate. You’re not expecting a gas meter to be under the bloody bath 🤷🏼♂️😂
Exactly I was very shocked when I took that off 😂😂
I wasn’t impressed with that bodge, but MATE, that wasn’t a good job & you know it!
I guess that’s what can get away with up north coz down here in the south, the way you plumbed the tray is beyond words!
Bodge? Go on then, your the only one to of said anything like this. What’s have I done wrong
Not really a lesson learned, as it's rare to have a fekin meter under the bath. Mate
That’s true turn out all the houses in that street are the same all under the bath
