- Sponsored by Abacus bathrooms, the third episode of our bathroom renovation series in association with Abacus bathrooms. Over the course of this video series, we will show you how to renovate a bathroom from start to finish.
The shower tray (or shower former) sits inside the existing floor which means cutting into a very old structure and peering into the past. This part can be tricky, but Roger has done this many times and will give you the benefit of his experience.

Not really into plumbing and building, but I still find Roger's videos utterly compelling. Well done that man!
“That’s why I look 90” 😂 Fantastic video, love your dry humour and sensible, pragmatic approach to all difficulties.
Not gonna lie...you're a damn good youtube presenter. Keep it up fella!
Currently in the middle of a house renovation project and these videos are fantastic and the timing couldn't be better. Rogers experience, skills, tips and sense of humor makes them a joy to watch.
Very much enjoying this series of vids. After achieving my level 2 plumbing qualification in 2015 I've specialised in bathroom installations and I'm always looking for great sources of knowledge and expertise on the best approach to installations and perhaps pick up a few hints and tips. Looking forward to part #4! 👍
You’re timing is impeccable for me with these videos. Im planning to fit my own wet room in a new ensuite extension. Given me loads of tips, thanks
Liking these videos, Roger. I'm in the middle of a massive renovation and extension, and your videos are proving very useful to me. Nice and clear and non patronising!
Always a pleasure to watch and learn from your videos
Your bathroom vids have inspired me to do my first rebuild. Midway through at the moment. Thanks a million for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Brilliant to see someone taking pride in their skills
Roger you truly are a Diamond Geezer 👍🏻
Another good video, really enjoy watching someone who knows what they are doing at work.
thanks for making these videos, they are really helpful!
Roger Bisby a complete joy to watch and to learn.
Nice,I do like the ply between joists,makes sense !!!
loving this series, great video presentation
I watched and enjoyed all three parts. Tremendous work - really thorough. I couldn’t do it better myself 👏
Nice work, Roger! I love your supervisor, the dog.
Only recently discovered your videos and I am really enjoying them. You are a natural on camera and you know what you are talking about. Very good. Very professional. Big thumbs up and a sub from me.
Thank you and welcome aboard
Brill videos as usual, Tippex markin pen often comes in handy in lining up pipes positions. Great plumber and well detailed
Roger that is kracking job enjoy the video
Thanks for all the tricks.
Lovely work m8 .good job 👍
Just starting a old properties refurb, n your video are amazing giving me an onsite into what my amazing trades are doing. It is so interesting
Thanks Allison!
You'd be the best Guy Ritchie character ever
Thanks for the tips Cheers
Excellent vid Roger, when’s part 4 out ?
Im going to have to make a start on my bathroom now 🤣 Thanks for the great vid 👍
i use showertone tray formers...straight onto the joists...22mm board up to it...tank the join....lovely jubbly
watch this one. Less build up
Love the video as always. I can't stop thinking who applied the tile adhesive because they obviously need to do some research.
I’ve now adopted the phrase ‘don’t panic Roger!’ when doing my own solvent weld 😂
The cleaning tip worked well 👍🏼
Excellent! Nice to know I am in the volcabulary. 100 years from now they will mention it on Countdown
@@SkillBuilder must be good luck, tested my new shower waste (blocked one end, filled with water, Cardboard under to check) and after a couple of hours it was all good. Successful first time at solvent welding after watching on CZcams 👍🏼
Roger can you recommend a good supplier of the abacus system? I really like the look of the belt and braces approach of it. For a 1400 x 900 with the waterproofing system ive found it for around £470. Is this about right?
just a quick question.. that flexi pipe you used, is it abs, mupvc, pvc or..... polypropylene ? and if it was polypropylene - did you have to mechanically join it? great vids
Bish Bush boshhhhhhh
😁😁😁😁😁
Really liked it
May GOD bless u Roger
Nice leg 😁😁😁😁😁
SoRRReen. He was in Lord of the Rings wun he?? pmsl. These SB videos are definitely getting better chaps.
Must admit every time I end up using a flexi section, it feels like defeat, and I’ve used a fare few 😬👍
The only bit I didn't see was how that section attached to the trap and downpipe...
Roger i want to hire for my jobs are you willing to do a job for me buddy, your work is world class mate
Wouldn't all these bends slow the flow? Experienced this with my shower, replaced with a straight flexi which increased flow
Yes but when the unvented cylinder goes in that is taken care of. All these modern showers work best from the mains.
Hi Roger when your free you can come and do mine then we can go and have that pint all the best mate Kev
Stakker Humanoid says always follow best practice, manufacturers' instructions and watch Skill Builder videos starring Comrades Roger and Robin to ensure a problem free installation! You know it makes sense!
Matt says why are you talking in the third person?
@@mattsidebottom7603 Comrade Sidebottom. Divine supreme leadership dictates this convention of addressing my fellow tradespeople as I am also your glorious shop steward representative.
what happened to Stakker?
@@SkillBuilder Hi Comrade Skill Builders! Stakker Humanoid is back! It's great to hear from you. Prepare for some seriously high quality commenting from Stakker.
You know it makes sense.
Little tip, get a roll of dacron cord, tie the end around any bit of plumbing that you might drop...if you do you can fish it out again then cut the cord off when you're done. just dont drop your knife!
Extra piece of mind is that the mc alpine flexies are solvent weld even the compression end. When the tray is down on that adhesive and your trying to get that waste done up that movement makes life just that easier
Hey Roger what is is called when you do the battens and ply on top and is there a size minimum for joist distances? For example 12mm ply for 400 spacing
I don't know the name but the ply should be 18mm
@@SkillBuilder thanks very much Roger 🙏
For some one so particular I was surprised to see what looks like speedfit fittings on copper, especially under the floor!
Trade Tested Mark
I'm aware push fit company's state you can use their fittings on copper. however using them on a floor that will be covered and tiled to me is a bit iffy.
I admit I have used them in this application before but not without good reason, I don't think you'd dispute that out of compression, crimp, solder and push fit that the latter is the least durable seal and also has a shelf life?
Which is why it surprised me to see Rodger using them when in this same video he stated he didn't like using flexi wastes and he generally seems to do things to last.
I will say Rodger is far more knowledgeable about plumbing then me so maybe he knows something I don't...
Use those utterly jank John Guest Speedfit fittings in any capacity? Even if you paid me I wouldn't touch Speedfit with a barge pole with a dead rat🐀 attached to the end.
It’s hep2o
@@scottmacfarlane2805 One step better than John Guest gear. I'll remove the dead rat and just use a barge pole.🐀😂
@Trade Tested Mark Nothing wrong with Speedfit? If you like tee or elbow fittings the size of a fully grown elephants foot, then yes use Speedfit. Otherwise not acceptable.
Woo
Roger, please can you put something straight here. Can you use normal solvent cement to connect ABS to PVC? Everywhere i read says i can't. It looks like that's what you did. If not, what is the best way to connect an ABS Wedi waste to existing PVC waste? Cheers and thanks for the videos. Jon.
Change Name
Yes PVC and ABS are both good for solvent weld. It is only polypropylene that can't be stuck. You may find tiny size differences between different makes of ABS and PVC if so use a gap fill solvent cement

PVC Pipe Cement is a non-drip, thixotropic solvent based pipe cement for bonding non-pressure PVC and ABS thermoplastic pipes and conduits to themselves and each other.
@@SkillBuilder excellent, thank you very much. Jon.
@@SkillBuilder Any thoughts on that Solvent Weld GEL? I was mighty unimpressed with it and binned it. Normal thixotropic PVC cement works just fine. The cement containers, from what I have been told, are made from PP 😊
Where are you based? Really good videos!!
We're based in Surrey & Essex
That trap should be solvent weld onto the tray... I always wonder when putting a tray in without riser kit ...why don't they make a solvent weld trap to tray
The trap can be turned to any direction. If you solvent weld it then it is not possible. Plus it could get damage.
Lost me at 2.12 when you start whacking ya pipe off 😂😂😂.
@b b I'll do the innuendo, if ya don't mind?
I don't know about the UK code. But in the US, code won't allow you to have 1x 3 for floor joists.
Where is the one by three? It is way more than that. I think we are talking 9 x 2
@@SkillBuilder Not the main joists, the battens. Because the plywood is just resting on those.
Unless you're putting plywood over that also.
@@saulgoodman2018
The support of the plywood is not compromised by the 2 x 1 battens. They will not bend even under loads of 300 kilos per square metre. It is a strong job..
@@SkillBuilder But code in the US, I pretty sure it won't pass.
They will let you sister them, but not with those short pieces.
But that's only if it's inspected.
@@saulgoodman2018 O.K fair enough but I have done a fair number of these and, so far, it has never been a problem. If there had been any movement the grout would have cracked. I appreciate that people are getting heavier so maybe the 2 x 1 needs gluing and screwing or maybe some deeper section OSB strips. I will take some advice
Belt and braces ;)
THERE'S A MONKEY IN YOUR JOIST....0:19
Could you not have plumbed the shower waste directly into the grey soil pipe?
Always risky. I have seen shit come up through shower wastes when they are done that way.
Thats a nice leg...whahaha
Glue is cheap. Leaks are expensive. I use liberally.
Water doesn’t run uphill and paydays on Friday. The way I was taught there’s 4 rules to plumbing. Hots on left colds on right, shit rolls downhill, paydays on Friday, and don’t chew your fingernails.
why not 1 big piece of ply instead of small pieces??
It is cut to the space between the joists. It is not sitting on top of them
@@SkillBuilder still cannot see the advantage of how you did it
Piano below Handel Water Music!!!!!!!!
😨😰😱
Kenya plumber watching
What's with the monkey image on the joist at 0:19?
Monkey? What monkey?
biggest error of touching wood ,dont touch fibre board
First
Excellent work Comrade! I trained you well.
ya parents must be proud
girlsdrinkfeck like your dad, he was always first . To your mums dissatisfaction
@@Gixer750pilot o right ..
@@girlsdrinkfeck I am proud of his glorious achievement.
Nothing worse than a dry spot.
Flush plywood in a bathroom??? lol
Keep watching the series and you will see what happens lol
@@SkillBuilder some kind of heating system underneath? 😊
@@stakkerhmnd Yes it is coming at a later stage
@@SkillBuilder A complete episode unblocking plywood from waste pipes? Or Grand piano restoration?? lol
Who the little kid whispering 4:30 minute into the video kinda creepy
Hi Dewi
This is a very old house there are ghosts for sure. We notice all kinds of odd things creeping in including a chimp.
Stop the video at 0:20 .. has nobody noticed the monkeys face in the wood ? 👀 weird !
Pause at 0:20 and tell me that isn't a monkey's face in the wood ...
Are you on drugs?
I just posted the same comment and only seen this now at least I know I'm not the only one that saw it 😂🐵
