    Good video but you need to wear gloves when taking a WC pan out in that way, also invest in dust sheets, well done.

    Top tip for breaking a toilet, don't break around the outlet and pull it out instead, if you break it you have a chance of bits falling into the drain

    • @SmartPipePlumbing
      @SmartPipePlumbing  7 месяцев назад

      I’d usually pull it out, however on this one I didn’t want to damage the tiles

    • @deanmiles8421

    Nicevideo...little tip that would have got you done in day 2...when your tile adhesive where going off use a tin snips to cut the tile spacers back so they hold the tile in place but dont sit proud of the tile. Then you can grout straight away wholst the tile adhesive mis still setting...just grout over the spacers...they wont slip ....but well done ...

    Jesus man get some bloody gloves on before you do yourself an injury. Porcelain is razor sharp and your hands are your business!! That aside very neat job and a great first effort at tiling, you can be well proud of that job.

    Nice tidy job, my only little 🤏 gripe would be, I probably would have put more silicone under the sink as this would stop water tracking under the sink and damaging the cabinet top. Other than that, bobbon 👍

    On the plastic cistern I'd drill a hole on the bottom and fit a bottom entry fill valve and blank off the side hole. Less hassle to connect and if you fit a well known brand fill valve it's easier to service .
    When you mentioned about space being tight for the button that's why the cistern has a space on the left for it!!!
    As for thr basin I would of siliconed all around it so as to stop water drips etc running down the edge of the basin and blowing the unit.
    Your tiling for a novice qas ok but as others have said the lines don't line up but that's a small gripe. Sort the waste pipe out colour wise spoils it imo. You went to the suppliers so could of gotten some.
    I'm surprised that someone that's doing these things all the time never has basic stock in the truck. I appreciate we go through stuff quite quickly and then think we have one on the truck somewhere!!
