    Tom i use an old car scissor jack when fitting baths to existing tiles if u put it under the base board of the bath you can jack it up into position and hold it there while you adjust legs

    Another good video Tom, I can honestly say I have never seen straw like that in a wall in Scotland. The firm I used work with had their own tilers as well as plumbers and the guys used to leave a few extra tiles below the bath just in case anyone needed them in the future.

    Hi Tom, I have never seen those straw board walls before in over 50 years in plumbing, always something new to learn about.
    Another nice job there, as you say, you can only work with what you have got, I’m sure the customer will be happy with that installation.

    Good job. I hate these type jobs where you have to work of existing fixtures and heights, but you smashed it out. Loved the trick of cutting the legs off to get a bit more movement and leverage to take out the bath. Guessing you already know this, and understand you were working within a confined space but you should have got ct1 or some adhesive around the bath before you set it in place. Future proof the leaks.

    Nice job on a difficult one. You mention CT1, do you use that for sealant? I usually use 785 but tried CT1 once and it went black in a few months !!

    • @PlumbLikeTom

      I use ct1 for adhesion, 785 is the best sealant, I tried bt1 which is the silicone version of of ct1 but I wasn't that impressed, thanks for watching mate 👍

    I'm not convinced by the clean up of the old silicon around the bath. It looked as if there were still old bits remaining and you would have added new silicon to that. Not good - looks OK to the customer but will possibly leak in time.

    • @PlumbLikeTom
      @PlumbLikeTom  2 месяца назад

      I did go over it again, I take the thick off and then use multi solve, you can then just flick the small bits off, I never leave a job unless I'm happy it won't leak as it always comes back and bites, thanks for watching mate 👍

    No classi seal between bath and tiles equals leaks in no time at all

    • @SteveHit1
      @SteveHit1 2 месяца назад +1

      In this case the tiles were not being removed, so classi seal not possible.
      Regardless, it’s perfectly possible to seal around a bath, with shower, and have it waterproof for many years, with careful application of good quality silicon.
      (Obviously, when it’s possible to apply classi seal that does increase the likelihood of a long lasting seal.)

    • @PlumbLikeTom
      @PlumbLikeTom  2 месяца назад +1

      I do usually use it but I couldn't get it in on this one, in fairness as long as the bath is solid, which is critical, there shouldn't be an issue. The old one never had any and tbe walls were dry, I'm not saying it was ideal what I did, but I just did what was practical
