- This video covers the best way to install a bath. It's worked for us hundreds of times and should for you too! We cover removing the old bath, attaching the legs to the new bath and using a spirit level to level the new bath. We also cover fixing it to the wall and using glue and adhesive to seal it tight before tiling.

anyone who uses the stupid bath brackets is a mug . put 50mm by 25mm batten to support the underside edge of the bath ( all 3 sides ) then drop vertical batten to support from the batten to the floor. Does anyone know that a bath filled with water alone is the weight of 6 10 stone people ? approx 420kg ??? 1mm of movement after fitting = a leaking bath with a shower above. ESPECIALLY A PLASTIC BATH. FITTED TO A PLASTERBOARD WALL.
How high should the bath waste be out the wall 80mm
Fill the bath with water before silicon mate save movement in bath after.
A fantastic, entertaining and very informative video. This will definitely help me when the time comes to fit my new bath next year. Thank you!
🛀 🙂👍
Used your video to change bath for the first time in flat I rent out and can safely say wouldn't of been able to do it to the standard and confidence without it. Thank you!
Great video, very entertaining. Its interesting to see how you guys do it across the pond!
The over the top scream while lifting the bath out was outstanding.
Very informative and very funny as usual. Keep up the bloody great work!
Awesome video as usual! I've gotta get my bath in and sorted in the coming days so this has been super useful! Thanks!
No worries mate! PP!
Thank you very much. I have struggled to install my bath but after watching this I should get it sorted now

Great video thanks. Got to refit a bath next week so great to check out what is involved.
Do you rate the Aqua Strap type seals that go under the tiles?
This is a very helpful tip, thank you
Great vid, thanks. I need to remove and old cast iron bath, put a new subfloor in and turn the new bath around.
Hopefully the waste pipe can be lengthened and angled ok.
This vid will help.
Hi thanks for your great video. Could you please tell me what the correct hight adjustment for a bath should generally be?
Thanks Chris
Hello mate your the best , I'm tailing and removing my old bathroom to new one , give me advice when I remove my old bath shill , I do the tailing and after to put my new bath or shill I do put the new bath and after the tailing thanks
i enjoy watching your videos, very informative and entertaining.. i like the knee pads as well.
Great vid, well presented and made me chuckle too. Now I just have to fit the bath and keep the foul language down. Easier said than done.
Thank you for your help this video was great. I did it myself and just watched your video while doing it.
Wicked video mate, love your work and banter loool
Hi mate. Thanks for the tips and tricks. Can you please advise on which rubber glue you use to seal the trap joints. Thanks
very cool! helpful and entertaining.
Thanks for your tutorials, have been watching all your videos on plumbing tips, and it has given me the confidence to remove my sink and toilet. Embarking on the bath next.
I don't think I've ever watched one of your videos without laughing out loud.
Ha! Cheers dude!
its a great job :) l work in this spiciality
my question is:
do you use the copper instead of plastic tubing and pax??
Great vid! Any tips on securing the tub to a floor with UFH?
Excellent video, informative and enjoyable
No worries and thanks!
A mahoooosive thumbs up for the lever valve with a nice long handle in those hard to reach and create any torque with finger areas! A small plastic handle valve and dare I saw it a flat head screw driver valve would be a nightmare in an emergency!
Have you done a video before exclusively on installing a combination overflow and waste on a bath, I know it's kind of explained here but would love to see. Dedicated updated James version!
Cheers, thumbs up
I'll be fitting a bath like this soon - thanks very much for posting such a useful vid. Hold tight and mind the wet poo roll.
Great vid, very informative and in plan English. Thanks for the help ......
this guy was very helpful thanks very much
You,my son...are a nutter! love it,great videos. Keep them coming. Cheers.
Nice one james, would you not recommend to cut your tap holes out before u do the final install to make it less awkward when drilling out the holes?
Very helpful, thank you.
Hi, Thanks for the vid, did you use the same glue to seal the plug hole as you did to glue the bath to the wall? If so what glue was it again? Is it okay to use on the threads of drainage pipes for extra seal? Thanks, Karl
Thanks for sharing.
Great helpful vids mate, Cheers
Helm Hurst No worries!
I'll be putting this video to good use this afternoon with my bath
So after you've levelled the bath, you can then offer the panel up and find it doesn't fit. Alternatively you offer the panel up first and once you've got the correct height, then you can level the bath up. Saves a lot of messing about if you do it right from the start!
Exactly 😅😅😅😂😂😂 or its custom panel time. Tbh tiled panels look decent
Hello pal, love your videos,
In this video when you lowered a corner I wondered why you didn't alter the other corner insteaD
have you used any heat exchangers on a link up of a stove into an exsisting heating system if so what do you use ?
Hi mate good clear fun video I put a new overflow /drain pipe in plus waste trap trap is ok but it's still leaking is it due to no sealant? We are looking into a new bathroom suite but in the mean time need that leak stopped on the plastic part the overflow pips attaches to there is a bigger lip on one end is that the end that faces upwards ? Any help is appreciated thanks
Hi bob here again have placed my bath pipes round the wall as per your vids neat job come to fitting new vanity unit in the guide leaflet it states if your fittings are like for like classed as none regulated no reg reguired as this is a p- shaped new bath taps now at the other end of bath as this is a new layout including the waist pipe would this alteration reguire approvel replacing your bath is not classed as a second bathroom is it ! any help please .
That bath usually has some plastic L brackets that screw round the wall..then the bath drops onto them...mind u there a pain...I often run a batten round the bath so it can't drop with weight of water...check out my bath install to see where them L brackets normal go, on a bath with wood...plus extra seal
Cheers for the video. Very helpful. Did you screw down the wooden block into the floor, or just the leg into the block?
could you do a video, how to install the waste on a free standing bath with a first floor install, newly qualified 6129. I am installing it at my own home not sure how to tackle the waste connection.
Great how to, thanks 👍
Great thanks for the video excellent.
I am tiling my bathroom floor, I wondered if its better to tile underneath the bath or is it not necessary?
Thanks.
There is no point it tiling under a bath IMO. Why do that??? :-)
Hiya, we’re thinking of getting a vintage claw foot bath does the same apply
Like the video.
I notice you didn't do a wooden supporting frame for extra support.
Is a wooden supporting frame over-engineering ?
Great and very informative
Hi is there a need of wood support or wood frame with this type of bath or are the clips sufficent enough to support the bath?
Hiya
I want to put in a wet room however I have wooden joists and the shower waste pipe needs to go through the joist.can you drill nogging through a joist?
Hi great videos is it the same way also for plumbing a cast iron bath
Great video as always PP, you became our first port of call during our whole bathroom revamp process. We have got the same gap between the end of the bath and the wall, like you have in this video - what shall we do with it? Cheers. Ruoxi
Next week's job for us! Great video and loving the singing as always!
Cheers guys!
nice video - however how do you deal with walls which are not square? I am trying to fit a bath into a corner but it aint square. What do you recomend? Should I cut into the plaster?
Great video, singing is top notch as ever!
Cheers!
Hello. Liking your videos. Would like to ask an opinion if possible. Just about to fit my first pop up bath waste. It has some lovely thick rubber washers. Will these be enough for the plug side of the bath and just silicone under like you have in this video. Or is it best to silicone all parts. It looks like a good seal but don’t want any leaks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 👍matt
What overflow do you use if the overflow hole is large (52mm) - same size as plug hole?
I've come back to this video and the basin one time and time again during the time its taking me to plumb in a completely new bathroom- no local plumber would do it because my husband had started work on it before he died, so I dug deep and got on with the job.
+Carolyn Walker Did you get it done Carolyn? PP!
+plumberparts Getting there, I have it all mocked up in Hep2O, just waiting on a friend to come and help me level the bath this weekend ... then I am going to turn the water on and check it all before I screw any of the floor down , its great to be able to watch an expert do it on here so I dont make silly mistakes!
Top vid pal, very informative. HOWEVER... I understand you perfectly, born and bred english from the north so english aint a prob YET why did i still find myself reading the grrr sub titles lol. thumbs up ;-)
Haha nice video. Learnt something and made me laugh. thanks mate
Thanks dude! Glad to help you out! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 czcams.com/users/plumberparts 👈⬅️if you haven't already!
Your pretty strong, that’s very good for a plumber 👨🔧💪🏻☝🏼
Great stuff mate, the only thing i would do differently would be getting the bath out the doors 😜
Amazing vid as ever . 😅
thanks for the video, these are so helpful. I would like to ask a question. I am taking my bath out to replace it, but will be leaving the bath out until I have done other prep work. Do I have to cap off the waste during this time?. The same question goes for the sink
The waste may well pong a bit, if its tied directly into the soil pipe. If it goes to a hopper outside, that`s o.k. as its in free air. Stuff a plastic bag inside or pop a stop end on them.
You make me laugh 😂 enjoy watching your videos 😍😂
always baton up the wall for the bath to sit on and take in consideration the height of your bath panel , thickness of floor covering and tile heights
+HayleyTrower Height of the panel is a big one.
Nice job matey my next stage in college now is actually installing the pipe work in for a bath have u done a vidoe on that yet ??
ryan birmingham Hmmm not yet only the taps. I'll add it to the list!
Well done 👍
great videos have watched loads on here packed full of information, quick question what sealent are you using on the bath waste? does it matter what type?
+TheDocksCreation I use either CT1 or standard silicone. PP!
Hi James;
Another GREAT video, hey, I know you like your Jazz music, check out Lee Ritenour, (LEGEND), great video: Lee Ritenour and friends live at the Coconut grove, you will love it !!!
all the best
Dave.
Just wondering can you drill the tap holes before installing.Also what is the best size of hole saw to use. Thanks.
Do you have any advice on securely connecting the trap to the waste underneath the bath - the plastic compression nut of the trap comes off the waste thread (also plastic) a bit too easily for my liking. Should I put some silicone on the thread of the bath waste before tightening the trap compression nut on ? cheers
Great video
I love his singing. what a dude.
I get a lot of my diy tips from this guy and his really funny too
Cheers mate! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 czcams.com/users/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Awesome, mate! Informative and entertaining :)
You've got to go to X factor! Because of the voice, obviously :)
+mortishe Thanks dude!
Was looking for help with the taps, there's a white connection beneath mine that needs taking off and I have no idea how to do it
I have acquired two push-fit Flexi,s for connecting to the bath taps, they seem like good quality, But the two i am removing have the standard nut and olives one for the hot which is standard 22m copper, and the cold that has a 15mm to 22mm reducer on it , I look inside the Flexi, and there is only one sealing ring, they look all good but for some reason, being old school I have my doubts , can you possibly advise, me, Yes i do realize everyone is using Flexi, after all, they actually come connected on the monoblock basin tap,cheers anyway mate .
Hi James, I want to take the bath out of my small bathroom to have a shower enclosure along the wall instead. The bath taps are at one end of the bath attached to the outside waste and the electric shower is at the other end of the bath so the water runs right along to bath before it goes down the waste ! Trouble is, I don't know what lies beneath ! Is it possible to fit a shower enclosure in a situation like this ! I so love your videos for entertainment value alone but so far I've had so much help from watching your videos ! You are great and you have me in stitches ! HOLD TIGHT !!!
+Nicola Liesel Hi Nicola, pop us a picture of the room and related bits on our facebook page via message, we'll have a look there and give you a shout! All the best, James at PP!
+plumberparts Will do, thank you so much...I just need to set up my own FB page first, lol ! I'm a bit poorly at the moment, so will do in a few days, meantime, i'm enjoying videos from PP !
Bloody hell the bath I want to replace is so naff ..( early 1960`s ). I thought the bath you ripped out was the new one Lol
We should use the elevated tub method here in the states!
I was all set to put a new bath in myself, having just taken out the old one... thining it would be a simple straight swap. I think after watching this it looks like it could be a monumental faff, so I think I'll get a professional in to do it!
You can do it! Just take your time, and have plenty of patience. Most people fail because they are racing the clock (or their missus is giving them earache to get it done). As ever, preparation is the key to success. Fit the taps and waste first. Flexy friday hoses should help you put the hot and cold away without too much pain. Then you just need to marry up the waste and a trap. Take a look on the net, or merchants catalogues, and see what meets your needs.
