Roger, you are a lifesaver. Just about to fit a bath and the job will be infinitely superior to what it might have been had I not watched your video. Thank you so much for your excellent advice, Sir. Much appreciated.

Nice work Roger, that abacus sure know what they are doing. It's good because it's belt and braces which us plumbers love! With baths I stick some extra bearers in tight on the underside of the bath so I have 4 or so points the bath is sat on. I also glue the nuts in place as the older baths had a habit of undoing them selves. That seal looks looks like something I do with the tanking kit. Most baths/showers I will tank the area but with the fibre tape I will slightly lip it on the edge so I can tile on top of this, creates a little upstand. The best showers I fit come with upstands pre-manufactured into place. Love them made by Coram. great simple design, however some customers don't like the way they look!

Love your Chanel Roger just for casual viewing whilst working!

Really like this idea.

This little kzread.infoUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.

Thanks Roger for another great video

Thanks Roger; I like the idea of the 'double' seal around the bath.

Thank you Roger. Top advice, very helpful!

Great video Roger like your idea about the bearers shorter legs give more strength and easier to fix them on a concrete floor so you can screw the legs in.

This guy is brilliant and really sells the product. You know he knows his stuff and that it is the way to go from a DIY perspective

Good one. I liked the detailing very good information

Another top video. I'm looking forward to your next one now, I find them all very interesting. Only one problem ... you need to make more :).

Great advice Roger. Another important aspect of fitting a bath is bath height, especially if bath panels are being used but equally thought should be given to tile heights. Nothing worse then being asked to fit a bath panel and find that the plumber has set the bath too low so you have to cut sometimes rather flimsy panels down to fit.

Good to see real craftsmanship.! My bath from Trojan, supposed to be 5mm thick, it is not anywhere you measure it and it's not even level out of the mould. Lesson learned, spend as much on the bath as you can afford. I also took the legs from my old damaged bath and attached them as extras to the new one. Also finished it with an upright in each corner, it's not going anywhere now. I would add that these thin baths are at as much risk from breakage at the fitting stage as they are in service.

Funny you should say that as I brought a wickes bath made by trojan and out of level as you say plus bath edge 40mm either end and 45mm in middle meaning bath panel will be 5mm out either end. It's going back. !!

Thanks Richie I have the product right here and I have used it in the past. More or less the same thing but the old Classi Seal was a bit thicker.

Excellent program, enjoyed watching you and learning the same time. Best ever seen. Good luck and thank you.

Roger knows 👌

can someone please.tell me why the blue paste is used bere and advertised but isnt included in the kit on the website

I've had to set mine higher due to a drain not draining. I have slight movement so I think I shall use an adhesive to hold it in place. I don't want to take bath out again but I wish I had a baton against back wall

The No leak kit shown here co tains a brush and also the bkue sealing paste, when i click on the abacus link and check this kit on their site it doesnt contain that paste and brush? am i missimg something here. Please help

when would you and when would you not use battens.

Very helpful video Roger, thank you. If you can post the link for 'no leak' kit. Nothing comes up on google. And the abacus website isn't very good to navigate. Cheers, and thanks for your great channel.

Can you change the bath legs to enable tiles to be fitted instead of a plastic panel?

@SkillBuilder

4 жыл бұрын

Yes I would never fit a plastic panel. I hate them

No more leaks seal is £40. There must be a less expensive secondary seal.

Why not show a proepr demo in a normal setting when walls aren’t square

Thank you for the video, what was the brand of the glue you use? Also would you use this to seal around the plug hole and drain pipe connectors? Thanks in advance! Karl

Not buying this time Roger. Classi Seal or clone everytime, double stuck with butyl adhesive tape. Much better tile to bath seal and a hell of a lot less faff than the Abacus method.
