I can dig it, we had a toilet where the cistern valve was leaking in the internal brick wall (Lake Coogee Perth, yep, typical full brick), must have been going on for a while before we bought the place, steel door frame had rusted out at bottom as water had gone through walls, was only slight, we always blamed shower on opposite side. After a chippie gave me a good price to remove steel frame and replace with timber, decided to strip all paint, bubbly white set, perimeter tiles, and found it was soggy near valve, after chiselling through mortar, to speed brick, then finding the pipe chase, chiselling away to the copper, then working my way down to valve where the leak got bad. This was on a Friday night, mate what a drama it was to get someone out on a Saturday morning. Fast forward 2 months, big shout out to Greg at Plan It Tiling, re-screeded floor, waterproofed, patched walls where render was almost just sand, and bang on tiling floor to ceiling.
I’m not being a smart ass. But have you ever used a Quos shower mixer to by pass the hole in the breech? If the existing seats are in good enough condition it should seal fine. This option saves opening up the wall.
@@PlumbdogPlumbingPerth all good mate. I didn’t want to come across as disrespectful. I’m a plumber and watched a lot of your videos and your doing a really top job keep up the good work 👍
No I wouldn’t, but that wasn’t my question. My problem is plumbers do not ever explain the consequences of this. It voids the warranty on waterproofing and from this day forward leaves the shower in danger of structural water leaks because patch waterproofing doesn’t work. Plumbers know absolutely nothing about waterproofing and are destroying them everyday
@@PlumbdogPlumbingPerth the solution is simply for plumbers to start explaining this to customers that’s it because obviously they aren’t the ones trying to make the wall good again after they jackhammer it to replace the breach

Nice work plumbdog!
It's so useful thanks keep uploading new videos. Best of luck
Thankyou we will 😇
Would the hole not need to be filled with bonding as opposed to cement?
You need a tile guy to help you out. That was way to difficult to get in there
Thanks for taking the time to record this. Interesting stuff for those who are curious. How much does something like this cost?
Different every time mate
How much would this cost
Do you use silver solder down there?
We sure do 💪
Love the videos! What do you use for the pipe protection/insulation?
Depends on the task at hand, there are a few options

This option saves opening up the wall.
Thanks for sharing! Have just looked into these, could be hand in certain situations! 🤙🏾

@@gavin249 Good call Gavin 👍🏼
I just looked it up and that’s a game changer.Cheers
Did you explain to customer that their shower wall waterproofing is now destroyed and patch waterproofing does not meet Australian standards?
So what would you suggest? Renovation of the whole room for a shower breach repair?
No I wouldn’t, but that wasn’t my question. My problem is plumbers do not ever explain the consequences of this.

@@elizakallis6148 okay so whats the solution?
@@PlumbdogPlumbingPerth the solution is simply for plumbers to start explaining this to customers that’s it because obviously they aren’t the ones trying to make the wall good again after they jackhammer it to replace the breach
A leaking breach piece is far worse than a patch repair on your waterproofing
Where are your safety glasses Darius?
Darius is made of steel! 😛
What causes this? Bad materials? Bad builder?
A combination of both along with wear & tear most likely
