Very informative, many thanks. 💂♂️🏴🇬🇧
Thank you 🫡
Thank you for your bathroom videos Rob. I'm currently going through the planning process for my own bathroom and would appreciate a detailed video on the stages needed in order to complete the project. (think its called first fix, second fix, etc) I.e. clearing out old fixtures, stud walls, plumbing, wiring, type of flooring removal/replacing ready for tiling, ceiling etc, etc. Best wishes
Hi Martin,
I’ll try and put up something like this very soon. All the best with your project. Thanks for watching.
Love this Rob. 👍🏾
Thank You Mr Moon. :)
Some good helpful advice. I've shared this 👌
What a Gent you are sir!! ❤
Beautiful furniture by the way! Loved the ribbed effect stuff!! Class 👌🏻
Hi Rob.
For sealing waste traps I would suggest to don't use acetoxy silicones as they dissolves many types of rubber seals.
Only neutral or polymer/hybrid, If you are using Dow brand use 785N.
also I have bad memories with those 'trade wipes' be careful on all plastic's and resins. They are not designed for degreasing before silicone sealing as they have Aloe Vera (to keep your hands moisten) and other rubbish that silicone wont stick to. Plain acetone (be careful with this one) or denatured alcohol works best.
Do you think that those cement boards with gaps in between will help you with any moisture ? Last month I've redone 2 years old bathroom that was completely failed by cowboys , and between plywood and cement boards everything was covered with mould, I think it's just makes a pocket for moisture.
For standard bathrooms we always using decoupling mats , it's completely waterproof ( if installed correctly) and isolates from small movements from subfloor.
But anyway nice video, I wish there was more when I was learning the trade
Cheers
Hi Matthew, thanks for the tips buddy. I'll check those out. To be honest I'm not a big fan of the decoupling mats. I feel more secure with the hardibacker board as its bedded down with adhesive and also screwed and I think it's more of a solid base for the tray, but I suppose it's just preference really. With the wipes, I'm really only using them to remove dust more than grease, then completely drying the area with blue roll. Keep well and keep busy mate. Kind regards, Rob
Should be best solution to stop water leaks from upstairs bathrooms!
Thank you
Hi there great video. Can I ask you a question please? If you surveyed a possible customers bathroom for a tray, how do you find out which way the joists are running etc? presuming the floor has tiles so no way of looking underneath. thank you .
Mcalpine supply a tightening tool with their waste and nassboards supply one with their wet tray formers
Excellent thank you
Do they not have trays with lips as a part of them, rather than relying on silicone, which will shrink and crack?
Thanks so much for this video big help. If I was installing direct onto concrete floor I'm guessing it would have to go on a plinth? Is there anything in particular to look out for when installing a plinth.
Hi, good video. Just wondered if theres a recommended minimum thickness for the sand and cement?
Do you use shower and bath seal tape for your shower installations?
My fitter put tiles first and tray after😲 I said tiles need to seat on top of tray and he said I promis you it wont leak
5 different plumbers have been round to my property to have a look at installing a walk in shower for me, and all 5 i never seen or heard from again, guess i must have a nightmare bathroom.
How do you finish this with membrane please??
Is silicon enough round the edge as it ages and shrinks? Will it not leak eventually
Silicone won't shrink. In any case, you also apply a bead of silicone after the tiling is done. This is just insurance.
Great Video, I need to use a shower trap like yours due to the low profile stone resin tray and the wirquin that came with the tray leaked - what's the flow rate of the trap your using / manufacturer please?
Thanks, ours is a fast flow McAlpine 90mm diameter shower waste.
Shouldn't you fully install the waste to the tray before laying the tray?
It’s a top access fitting waste. 👍🏻
Your backing from Topps I can on both side what are you backing onto ???
Hi Paul. The window wall is a solid wall. The other wall is on aqua board. There should be a link in the early part of this video that takes you to a ‘how to’ for that.
Thanks
Thank you. Where is the video about preparing the floor etc before ciment.
Sorry, I haven’t got round to uploading that yet. 😞
That's what anoys me every video on this subject has a new floor and never the old floor boards ( T&G)
@@phil3332 Hi Phil, just sbr seal the tongue and groove floor, stick the hardibacker down with a suitable flexible tile adhesive and screw down with the appropriate depth screws and that’s what I have here.
No upstand or tanking🙄
Yep! It’s completely waterproof membraned. Quite easy to spot really 🤔.
Do you really have a need to put the sand/cement mix down on such a sound floor as that is
I would always. I don’t know what else you would use, certainly not silicone or tile adhesive. It’s just good practice for me personally. Thanks 🙏🏻
I wouldn't do that, because if you leak that would be nightmare to fix
Hi - what do you use to seal the floorboards?
Hi Andy, do you mean the cement boards? We use an SBR sealer.
@@lesterbathrooms3948 Yes, rewatched the start of the video, didn't realise the floor had cement boards too.
Hi m8, what make of shower waste would you recommend, one a can get from screwfix etc, flomasta, McAlpine etc
We tend to use a McAlpine fast flow waste - that’s a 90mm diameter to suit our trays. Happy shopping!
if you silicone rubber seals you will never get them undone i thought you wore noted supposed to silicone rubber seals
I’ve changed plenty in the past. Better to get a watertight seal on a subfloor waste then worrying about having to change it in the future. Thanks.
Thank you
