- Plumbing fail ... Every plumber will tell you that you get leaks, but this time is a screwed pipe that is the cause of the plumbing issue.
We begin to get the toilets and urinals into the office build and as I didn’t do the first fix I’m not 100% where the pipes run…. As you will see!!

REAL WORLD PLUMBING in this one… as always 👌🏼
Come on… we’ve all done it. Tell me your stories 🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I’ve been watching your channel since day 1, this is the reason why; real life plumbing. A few chosen words later and all fixed. Great content again Mark, thank you.
Thanks Keith….. always has and always will be real world plumbing…😉👌🏼
Thanks for the support over the years mate
I love your honesty 😂 showing the real jobs 👏🏻
Thanks mate…. Appriciate that, always been the ethos of my channel👍🏼👍🏼
Real world plumbing! Well done Mark, that was a challenge!
Thanks mate
100% Real life scenario! Well done.
Thanks mate… Real World… you know me👌🏼
First class as always Mark......
Thanks as always Shaun
Brilliant video, please keep up the good work.
Thanks mate glad you enjoyed it
Hi Mark, that was a good one mate, yes I have done similar in my own house.
I should have known better because I had installed the 15mm pipe that I put the screw through 🤦♂️.
At the time I had only been plumbing about 40 years so I suppose I was still quite new at it.
When you do anything like that on a site someone always says “should we call a plumber” ? and the answer is no f#&* off 😂😂😂😂
A great film, have a great week and take care, regards Chris 👍👍👍
Hahahaha….. trust you mate 🤣👍🏼
Great educational install on cistern mate for the newbies...
Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼
That screw in the pipe was a great save. Never knew you can blob a bit solder onto the outside of the pipe. Hopefully wont ever need to try it. Enjoying your videos mate
Thanks mate, yep old school hack
Love the videos. I’m college trained and do small jobs. Building up to try go self employed soon. Really helping me understand the real world of plumbing. Keep it up bingeing all your videos at the moment
Thanks mate…. Kind words
Well done in a nightmare situation. We have all been there. We are always one drill away from OH NO!😅😅😅
Hahah… 100% mate…. And as soon as it happens our world swallows us up🤣🤦🏻♂️
Momma said "They'd bidets like this..."
🤣🤣
I have seen it all now 🤣🤣 Good wee trick defo gonna use keep it up 👍
Thanks mate….. it’s all about passing on the tips and tricks
Two top tips in one video - nice one Mark, learned something there.
Thanks buddy…. Glad you enjoyed it
Each to their own, but I would of had to get a slip socket over it for me, I just wouldn’t trust it. Great video as always!
Thanks buddy….. yep we all do stuff different
Excellent video Mark, for the pipe repair half a copper olive solders over a hole nicely too, thank god the tilers didn't back butter, it came off too easy.
Yep they done me a favour on that one 👌🏼👍🏼
Well done Mark thats why your the best on hear all the best mate/kev
Thanks mate…👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Brilliant video! You were pretty unlucky with that pipe but demonstrated a practical solution! (I seem to remember doing something similar in the past and it held fine.)
When you started fitting that toilet, I thought it was going to end up a “Spanish arrangement” (from your recent short) until you pointed out a cubicle was being fitted! 😂
Spanish arrangement…. Hahah love that 🤣👍🏼
Good recovery. A few beers to the tiler coming his /her way to get you out of this one. . 😂😂😂
Oh yes mate😉👍🏼👍🏼
Learnt a new trick from you today with the brushing solder over a hole in a pipe, cheers for that. I’m 2nd year apprentice, my boss has done the exact same waste pipe problem as you, he clipped it in with CT1 instead of screws though, seemed to work 😅
CT1 works a treat👍🏼👍🏼
Good job you're a plumber Mark! We've all done it but that doesn't make it any less annoying particularly where you've got tiles too!
Yep I knew as soon as the screw went in… it’s like a sixth sense of impending doom🤣🤣
Well done mate tricky job soldering over the screw hole there is always a way to get around problems good job you didnt clip the waste pipe good luck with the rest of the project
Thanks mate…. Yep I ain’t putting anything into these walls again🤣🤣
We have all done it at some stage!! I note one of your subscribers mentioned a WALBOT f**king expensive piece of kit £280?? great vid mark.. I admire your honesty for not editing the video. With regards to not clipping the waste pipe, along as it's supported, and it's being boxed in anyway!. nice one mate👍👍
Thanks buddy 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. Real life plumbing deffo lol. Hopefully chippy doesn’t screw though pipe too 👍👍
Thanks mate👍🏼👍🏼
Nice bodge mate 😁 we’ve all done it.
I’ve even stuck waste pipes onto plasterboard with CT1 rather than risk screwing through it.
CT1 to the rescue 👌🏼
We have all been there.I did it once as I didn't trust my apprentice screwing the floorboards back at the end of a job (6pm) customer all happy downstairs talking to my apprentice, everything packed away except for driver and screws I'm upstairs and screw through central heating and gas pipe twice, water dripping through light fitting below. Then you just knew it was a late finish and try not to panic or show your frustration in front of customer but we have to sort it out regardless.....If you are like me I never remember all the jobs that were perfect,I will always remember the nightmare jobs and customers ...keep it real 👍🏽
100% right mate….. don’t panic and just get it sorted asap
Real world plumbing I have never tired that trick before in the back of my head I would always be thinking would it hold but it is so well done mate
Thanks mate…. Old school trick 👍🏼👍🏼
That’s definitely gonna be a future leak for someone to fix
Why’s that then buddy….
It’s a common fix and one I’ve done so many times over 30years and never had an issue…. Done right and it is fine
Great work matey. I'd have screwed the screw back in the hole, trimmed it off, leaving it like a plug 🤪
Hahaha… I’m sure some people would🤣
Great video Mark .
Shit happens , it’s how you deal with it that matters .
I always drill what I term as a scratch hole ! In other words I drill into the plasterboard , then get my torch and a fine screwdriver to check there are no pipes , when I’m satisfied there are no pipes , I continue to drill .
Yep that’s one way to stay safe
Had to do that in a block of flats, think it was inch and half rising main in copper, my mate nicked it with an angle grinder of all things! Just whipped it, old school plumbing! Take care mate
Proper old school 👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
to repair screw hole try Screwfix 5962v pipe patch. I made something similar using a 15mm coupler with a slot cut out, worked a treat!
Yep that works aswell👌🏼👍🏼
I normally cut a coupler in half and solder on the top of the hole, but your it's good idea.
Yep I’ve done that 👌🏼👍🏼
Best one I’ve seen was when I was an apprentice I went to help another plumber who was a mate of my bosses , he’d 1st fixed a kitchen on the Monday & we went to 2nd fix & alter some radiators on the Friday! He measured up for the new waste hole ,marked it & told me to drill it ! U guessed it straight through te hot n cold that he’d put in on the Monday !! He’d forgotten where he’d put the pipes 😂😂
Nightmare mate 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
what model of uni light is the tower? looks good, iv the akita ones similar
It’s not been released yet…. I’m road testing it…. It’s superb😉
Bro, your showing life of a real plumbers nightmare and it not a cowboys jobs, it’s what you have to work with and do when there is nothing else you can do 👍🏾
Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼
John Wayne eat your heart out.😅
More of a Clint Eastwood guy tbh
Love that problem solving! But no signature MJ van intro??
Thanks mate….. not this week buddy, this video was edited up while I’ve been away 👍🏼
I was fitting a kitchen cupboard once and knew there was an electrical cable in the wall so marked it and then drilled through it . Shit happens lol . Excellent video mate
I think we’ve all hit cables…. Usually when hanging a boiler!!
Cheers for sharing. Maybe use a thinish flat blade screwdriver to make a hole for the rawl plug and if you hit a pipe with the screwdriver no harm done. 👍 saved my bacon a few times! 🤣
Yep could work👍🏼👍🏼
i used to do the rabbit shadows to 🙂
Hahaha….. forgot I put that in the edit 🤣🤣👌🏼
Decent save. Maybe shorter screws?
Or avoid the pipes🤣
😄😄😄 Top drawer, Mark. It's little to do with what happened, and more to do with what happens next. Take the enormity in for a few seconds, and then on your toes with a remedy. Shows it can happen to the best of us, I imagine all of us at some point. All about the reaction, superb move.
And you had me 🤣🤣 when you said you don't care if anyone came at you!! You know it, another time, with more time, you'd have possibly added another screw but sod it, one screw is good, it's secured, be behind a panel, jog on!! 🖕🖕
100% mate….. always a solution👍🏼👍🏼
Oh ya, been there. There is a nice little gadget called a Walbot that connects to you phone and is a mega stud finder that would have shown you that there was a pipe there. Might want to give it a look.
Ohhh I will take a look for that
Crikey that was awkward, good repair. 😬 I had fun this week second fixing a bog with a concealed cistern. Turns out the tiled floor is going downhill. Bogs tight to wall at bottom, can get fingers down the top of it. Site manager says get chippys frame packers under it. Gonna need a good 10mm thick bead all round it. 🙈😂.
Bloody concealed cisterns….. just like my video last week🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
It happens mate. Take a breath and carry on 🤣😂
Exactly that mate……
Best call a plumber😂
And a comedian🤣😉
Can we see the quooker tap install? Thinking of getting one!
Coming soon mate 👍🏼👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing legend!!
👍🏼👍🏼
You could use CT1 to stick the upper part of the clip
Indeed I could
nice work kiddo
Cheers Dave 👌🏼
Oh dear, done that last year just before Christmas last job of the day and year and been there till 8 o'clock. Real life plumbing
Always the way mate
Araldite the clips on.
Sod the screws. 😂
No screws are going near this job now🤣🤣
Nightmare one of those solder patches would of been ideal hopefully the blob of solder holds 😂
Yep worth having some on the van….. never had an issue with doing blobs if done right
Does anyone know why the studs on the cistern fixing plate are soo long. I’ve never fitted a cistern needing anywhere near the length they supply.
Just how they came mate
What were the fibre washers for Mark in the pack of cistern fittings?
You can use them on the wingnuts
@@MJTiffPlumbing ahh ok, thanks for the reply 🙂
the fiber washers go between the metal washer and the bolt head inside the cistern or you'll get water from in the cistern going between the metal to metal contact between the bolt head and top washer and going down the thread. schoolboy error, some manufactures don't supply em so i use a bit of ptfe under the bolt head.
I definitely would have drilled into that too. Good lesson though to put those metal plates over the pipes when going through joints, which I have never done but will do now as I would have cried if that had happened to me 😂
Glad you would have aswell mate…🤣🤣
I didn’t 1st fix it so had no clue they were there
Shit happens. It's how you deal with it, that's the important thing. Keep calm deal with it and move on. Great vid 👍🏼👍🏼
Cheers Gary 👍🏼
Brave mate. Other tile off, cut cut bosh no sleepless nights.
Would have needed 4 tiles off…..
Real life shit hits the fan plumbing.
We’ve all done it mate. More than most will admit
Indeed mate…. 👍🏼👍🏼
Push fit waste is DIY fix only mate. Totally agree with you
Never been a fan of pushfit wastes
Unfortunately shit happens now and again Mark, but a good fix 👍
Indeed it does mate…. But we sort it👌🏼👍🏼
Always have a bit of leaded solder for emergency lol
Yep good shout that
Think screwfix sell pipe covers with solder in them used them a few times never had an issue with them but good repair under circumstances
Thanks mate
Thank f you didn't get your press fit gun out to repair that hole! Yippee! Mark used his solder. 😉
You couldn’t repair a hole with a press gun😉
Press has its place…. As does solder
Mark a space saver pan connector should get you a couple inches closer to the wall.
They don’t do one with a take off for a waste pipe…..👍🏼
The best one I did was tiling before I fixed the bath in, putting the bat up screwed through the pipe dispite being able to see it about 12ins below
Oh gutted mate…. We are all human
we have all done this.. at least once
Chris…. Glad you agree mate🤣👍🏼👍🏼
Always have a bit of bar solder in the van for them pesky screwed pipe. Much easier than using leaded solder and doesn’t require as much heat.
Good idea 👍🏼
Hmmm - is that going to last ???
Yep…. Just the same as soldering a joint👌🏼
CT1 a batten under the tile line and fix the clips to that, it’s what the chippy will do to fix his box section to.
Always an option
Ha ha ha , i aint got a clue why we chose plumbing , all here to test us pal
I ask that now and again🤣🤦🏻♂️
At least the chippie or electrician didn't drill the pipe this time😂
Yep…. It’s all on me this one🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
I’d have soldered a coupling (cut into a quarter) over the screw hole. Belt and braces like!
Great tips that
Good call about getting those brass screw pipe fitted to the toilet cistern filler ...
Putting a screw in the pipe we have all done that can't be helped just one of those little problems that catch us out 😯😯
Thanks John….👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼
I think brazing would be more effective than solderind for a pin hole but if it works, happy days!
Yep it worked a treat👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Old boi used😊 to say you don't go to work to make mistakes but to fix them
Very true that 🤣
How long will that last? Wouldnt want that in my property.
Permanent mate….. you may have one on your property😉
That tiling, Jesus Christ terrible joints and not back buttered 😂
That’s why I’m the plumber 🤣😉
Hi Mark. Was a good for you till the screw went in the pipe. Most people would have taken that clip out. Not you real world plumbing mate. Looking forward to the sink parts being fitted. Have a good week mate 👍
Thanks John… Always Real World Plumbing with me buddy
That " blob" may come back to haunt you . Enjoyable watch though
I’ve done plenty over the years and (as far as I know) all are still ok…… but let’s not tempt fate.
Done it quite a few times myself, never leaked afterwards
Toggle fixings into the pb.
Don’t want to be putting anything into that plaster board mate🤣🤦🏻♂️
I wouldn’t be happy making a repair like that, for the sake of cutting the board out and putting a soldered slip coupler in.
No way you’re getting anything in that without a lot of work and damage to the tiling….. this is a proven technic every good plumber knows👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
11:50 offset pan connector👍🏻
They don’t make an offset with a waste pipe takeoff on the end….
@@MJTiffPlumbing👍🏻
👍🏼
They should mark where the pipes are until 2nd fix is done.
The first fix was done 2 years ago and since then we have come in to finish it off…..
Doesn't matter what it looks like it got you out of a hole and it's going to be boxed in so fair play to you mark take no notice of the moaning 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Colin…. You understand what we have to do sometimes
Did you say grandkids mate ?
Yep…… I have 5 🙏🏼
🤘😎🤘
First as always mate….🙌🏼🙌🏼…. How you doing
@@MJTiffPlumbing All good Buddy, Birthday on Wednesday so lots of cake 🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Love it mate…. 21 again???
Put it down to a 1 off mate
Hopefully…. Lol
That's Real World Plumbing mate just bad luck, better luck with tap and macerator 😢
Thanks buddy👌🏼
Sorry but I would of ripped it all out and replaced it that bit of pipe just for pice off mine I know the lead wipe thing works but I would of took over tile off and renewed the pipe for how long it would of took to do
Don’t be sorry mate….. we all do stuff differently 👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Do you ever use the solder plates? Ideal for covering a hole.
I have done in the past
Eh dear kidda, happens to the best of us 🤦♂️
Doesn’t it just mate….. it’s how we deal with it that counts 👍🏼👍🏼
And that…. Is why I hate second fixing after someone else’s first fix 🤦🏻♂️
Yep I hear you 👍🏼👍🏼
Rough
But you had to watch and comment……. 🤣🤣
So first off thanks for watching…..
Second thanks for taking time out your day to comment and help earn me some more money…..
Thanks Barry 🤣👍🏼
@@MJTiffPlumbing made me smile
👍🏼👍🏼….
Genuine question…. What do you think is rough with it??… which bit?
It’s amazing how many urinals are fitted by some plumber who is 6’ 9”!!!
And they want this one higher😮🤦🏻♂️
@@MJTiffPlumbing I’m only 5’ 8” and many times I have struggled to reach! 😂😂👎
🤣🤦🏻♂️
We’ve all done it, then you’ll say “should of taken pics of where they are”
I hate running pipes and cables across walls because of this.
Mitre bond or sticks like the clips on, leave the support pipes as well then your really covered
I didn’t do the first fix on this one….. but I’m more surprised the chippy missed them with his batons 🤣
Lucky chippy
Very!!!
Bet you regret taking the Micky out of the labourer when he did it lol
Did you hear him bloody singing 🤣🤣🤣
Fitted a new stop tap, customer said “ I’ll turn the main on in the street for you “ next minute foul and abuse language and a 50 foot geyser in the street. Yup he screwed the tap right out of the body. Thames water guy pissed himself laughing!
NO WAY 😮😮😮….. that’s brilliant 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Some "penny" ferrules are left hand thread!
I that can happen pal its a shitter when it does, just
Hope a thick chippy doesn't do it again, trying to box it in
Told them all to be very careful👍🏼👍🏼
Nice to see even pros fuck up lol
Real World Plumbing mate 👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼
