Well !!!!! I’m not a plumber OK, I have jus fitted our new bath with this guys instructions etc. It got the wife’s blessing 😅. Thanks for a great video 👍🏻 and it saved me paying for a plumber 👍🏻
Excellent video and commentary. This is exactly how l have always install a bath but l also cut a slight bevel on the top of the batten like a French cleat to insure that the bath is pulled in against the wall while the silicone is curing Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Great glue advise. I used to give my self bruised ribs trying to screw up through my supporting wood into to what wood strengtheners came fitted to the bath lips
I love watching how much satisfaction you get from doing a good job. Shame all the good plumbers and fitters are on CZcams instead of doing jobs for me 😂
Awesome video man!! I’ve just come out my time at college as a pipefitter but love learning more bout the trades, just wondering when you lifted the bath into place would a suction cup benefit?L if you get me? Love the video and tips you give 🙏🙌🏻
So glad you mentioned that filling a bath with water before siliconiong in isnt really a thing anymore if the bath is fitted correctly and framed.
The amount of people i get on my videos saying "You havent filled it up before siliconing" ......If its fitted right with a solid bath its not an issue
You know mate. The keyboard warriors of CZcams!
yeah when you batton the wall, use a quality bath like a Cleargreen bath and make sure its fitted solid, then filling the bath before final seal isnt really required as it not going anywhere! but you also get people who says "the bath come with legs, and metal clips to fix to the wall, why do i need need to batton the wall or make a frame" and just want to fit them as quick as possible, now these are the installs that are best to fill before sealing to let the bath sit down. We install our baths on battons but before tiling (as part for the 1st fix) but our tiler always fills the bath as its just something he has always done.
@@plumberparts oh mate….. tell me about it🤣🤣🙈
@@RubberduckbathroomsCoUk 👍🏼👍🏼
I wish James had done the bath in my new build back in 2013 - sunk and all the silicone peeled off the first time I used it, almost pooped myself thinking I was going through the floor 🤣 #DWHQuality
great video James
Thank you. Wow this channel has grown.
Great video it's amazing to see how others do things, I'm always worried about leaks after and always say classic seal and tanking kit, but this is very good way to do it if the customer won't pay for them. Thanks James great video as usual, also the wife is so patient, I'd only get 2 days to do that work 🤣🤣 and that's sfter being at work that Fridays 😆😆🔧🔧
Yes I have the same here. We’ve been planning a new bathroom now but everything has to be done within the weekend.. 🎉
@@itwithmike Tell them that they need to find someone else who can do a quality job in two days if they think it's possible. Give them the responsibility and see how fast they backtrack!
Awesome video! When are you going to post the rest? I'm dying to see it!! :)
Good Sunday morning to you sir and your family
I noticed you have not used a upstand seal like a classiseal (oviously because you tiled first before fitting the bath), but what are your thoughts on these kind of seals?
Fabulous video. Thanks. What brand of bath is that?
Great video, what size timber would you use to glue the bath to also what silicone/glue used many thanks.
Thanks. I couldn't actually find the link to the specific glue to use, and it was not in the 35 amazon items on the link. I'm doing this job tomorrow, so what glue would you suggest that I can collect from toolstation, screwfix, wickes please?
Hahahah love the song at the end! Thanks for all the great videos and advice.
Great video 👍🏻 One question - my bath feet/cradle broke removing it and the new (double ended) bath doesn't have a cradle / feet - are universal ones ok?
The larger leg supports that hold the bath up, have you got a link for them ?
Was it gt1 adhesive you used? Thanks.
What glue are you using or recommend
Overkill.. I love it. I do the same especially in my own house 🤝
Hello... I'm still trying to find the sink fix product and I'm not seeing it anywhere. I live in the US and this is a great product. I'm hoping that i can obtain it here in the US. I live in CT and would you know where it can be found please? Thank you so much.
Hi mate, great vids. Are those wooden supports just attached to plasterboard? And that's strong enough to support the weight?
Watch the previous videos - they're not attached to plasterboard.
A good sealant gun which is excellent for working in tight areas. it isn’t as powerful as normal sealant guns which can affect the flow whilst applying. Not the end of the world but can be a pain if sealing, caulking a large area as it takes longer.
Anyone can tell me where I can buy a decent bath? That bath looks solid, is that acrylic or steel or diamond? Good video,uaed to be in Hungary we used breeze block frame around a bath and expanding foam under to insulate the thing never move again.. But now I struggle to find a good bath in uK for my own house.. 👍
A whole part missing regarding the wood on the wall is that part of the installation? Or not needed?
Great video yet again like all the others. Would you recommend putting timber across the floor under legs if going onto floorboards though to spread the load. Looking good by the way ( the bathroom i meant lol )
James doe this means the Mrs will be getting her bathroom for Christmas!
Do you always need a wooden frame around the outside?
Where can you buy the extra support legs?
I just wondered do you get problems when the ground/floor is not level. Under my bath it is just ground. How can stability be assured such the bath does not drop cracking sealant and allowing water to get through?
marcrist pg850 for drilling porcelain tiles. well worth the money, have drilled so many other tile types you wouldnt dream of with it. if the tile is concealed, dont be afraid of a good sds bit on the drill.
How do you cut an acrylic tub to shower?
Year 2023. Video number 125: how to renew your bathroom 🤣🤣🤣. Only joking. Great educational videos as always. I'm constantly learning from you. Thanks a lot.
Please don't! 😂
Surely you have a set of wax filled drill bits for tile holes?
Do you know Where can I get the extra legs from please
Haven’t had a notification for ale army for ages are they still happening? Been really busy lately soz
Can anyone tell me the brand of glue to attach the bath to the wall please
Hi,
What is the trick (if any) to align spouts directly down? When they are being screwed they can e d up looking in a different direction and they won't turn anymore. Thx
He hinted at it - Use loctite instead of thread tape
You didn’t show why or how you put the wood pieces on the wall?
Brilliant, C bomb made me laugh!
I noticed that the levers for your bath fill are under Neath would they not be more convenient on the top-level just thought
That's the isolation underneath
What sealing glue are you using? I cant find it on Amazon list and theres no mention in the vid
Looks like Stixall Adhesive & Sealant
@@Jack155Q4 it was indeed - i should of updated sorry.
Just my opinion but I think I would use cool white spotlights in there mate... unless I've missed a trick and you already are doing 👍🏻 looking good though mate
Definitely not cool white in a bathroom!
I cannot find the glue you used to secure the bath to the wall and timber.
I believe it’s stixall adhesive and sealant clear.
Thank you.
Pulling it off 😉
Great video, funny that you cut your own waffle at the end. 🤣🤣
Even I was bored of it! 😂
Following you religiously….. has given me the confidence to do an ensuite! (With some help) HOLD TIGHTTTTTT
How would you seal a bath to a fully tiled wall? Do I have to cut out the tiles where the bath edge will go or can the bath go up to the tiles directly?
Traditionally you would have the bath on the wall first and then tiles down to the level of the bath. If the tiles go behind the bath, it might not seal correctly.
@@MrManningata Yeah unfortunately this room is already tiled and will be replacing a shower cubicle with a bath/shower.
@@_Miner I reckon if you seal between the bath and the tiled wall, and then fix the bath against the wall, and then add more sealant at the seam - should be OK. I'm not a bathroom fitter though.
I'm no bathroom fitter, but I do a lot of DIY. I definitely would not cut the tiles out. I'd still mark where to put the batten, and make sure it is level. Then I'd do exactly what had been done in the video, silicone the batten etc, then the side of the bath. That will deffo be watertight. Make sure you use an anti mould bathroom sealant so it doesn't become mucky. Also, just keep an eye on the silicone visually over time. Also, you could put a pvc bead between the tile and the bath to add an extra layer of protection. You have nothing to worry about honestly.
If you fit a bath to a wall that's already been tiled, you can guarantee it will leak in the future
You should have said " if you don't know what the 'C' bomb is ask your parents 😂😂👍👍
SIR I AM FROM INDIA CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO CALCULATE THE RIGHT BOILER SIZE
How do I remove a bath thats been glued in?
What silicone do you use, as can’t find any on your Amazon store? Can you post a link please?
Hello mate. Just added to the shop. Here's a direct link. In use Dow Corning: amzn.to/3390iyL
Everbuild Stixall
@@plumberparts awesome. Thanks mate. Last question. Where did you get get your bath taps, as have been looking around and struggling to find wall fitted taps that we both like? Hold tight 😁
@@plumberparts what about that silicone gun looks the ticket, is it available on the store.
Is the bath not fitted first before you tile..you would want to be 100% your measureremts are right to tile first
Glues good until you have to pull the dammam thing out again
How do you remove a glued in Bath?
@suesmith821 cut it with a stanley
@@plumberpartsWill a Stanley knife reach under the tiles &;down an inch to cut the glue?
Don’t think you said what’s the best type of adhesive to use. There are SO many types. Waterproof?
It's so frustrating
So much easier than an Aussie bath. No legs. So solid timber frame. And a cement bed!
Is that a plumber's Crack, my eyes had to see
I have got one plumber telling me my bath needs to be embedded into the wall and another saying it doesn’t need to be, I’m confused 😕
🤘😎🤘
I never knew you could glue a bath in 🤯
That's the way now mate. The old angled steel bits are useless.
@@plumberparts but the screwed fixings don't just rely on the surface bond of the wall. It'd be advised to use both, things like skimmed walls can easily separate from the substrate far before the construction adhesive would fail.
I always drop the C bomb when drilling porcelain tiles.
Pointed tile drill bits make the job a lit easier.
@@serverstatuscouk Yeah I'm still divided on this. Used both. Both are hell. I just hate porcelain tiles SO MUCH!
@@plumberparts time for the sds 🤣
@@plumberparts i use glass drill bits, never had an issue, put a few drops of water and takes less than a min
Nicer to tile the whole floor instead , then fit the bath. Clever u are though
On the other video, you didn't use a glue to install a bath, why?
Did not show how to put bath panel on
You mean you said "crikey " or "crumbs"? 😮
X factor 😂
Your voice is exactly the same as Lee, a character on The Archers 🤔 weird
I am now about to listen to Lee (is it Bryce?) on the Archers! 😂
screw the bath legs? nah man just screw the two accessible corners of the bath to the wall. Glue the feet down so they don't wiggle. Screwing them down doesn't do much to stabilize the bath as they do have a lot of wiggle side to side.
