Recently fitted a nice new bath and quite frankly just followed what had already been installed, just repeated it, though good to have someone to show how it is to be done, as I know of some people who need instruction, just how it is.

One of the best DIY channels

Many plumbers say no taps as back of bath where they are not accessed very well. What's you thoughts on this and reason you went for taps on back? Amazing channel. Thanks

I'm about to take my bath out because of those stupid center taps. Whoever fitted our bath did not secure the locking nut properly so the taps now move at one end. To tighten the nut, I have to take the bath out, so putting a traditional end tap version back in. Great video and thank you for sharing 👌👌

Good effort lad! Is that a Norfolk accent I detect?? Do you do new customer work atall?

Your bath will sink slightly when it's full of water, so you should fill up the bath before sealing to replicate this. If you start sealing with an empty bath, the sealant could crack as it expands when you first use it.

Great video as always. I’m doing this myself at the moment, just wondering because you have shower boarded onto the bath did you have to cut the bath front panel down in length? Or did you fit the panel and board to the front of it? Thanks

Apologies if i missed it but what was the cost of the new bathroom or is there a separate video for it?

see when you sciliconed the bath, you had the bath full of water, is that so theres weight down for sciliconing or is it to check for leaks at the same time?

it's to get the right height for the bath before the silicon sets. Probably not too important in this case with his massive beams holding the bath up 😁.

I installed one of those baths with taps on the side in my old house.... Looked amazing.... Until the flexible tap pipes perished..... Oh dear dear dear.... NEVER again will I ever use those flexible hoses! If I wanted them on the side, I'd sooner put pipes into the wall and then mount a funky tap to the wall, pouring into the bath. Hope yours are better quality than the ones I had!!

Ah no way! I always use the JG ones so they are a decent brand. So far on the ones I’ve done I’ve not had issues 🤞

Personally if you want the taps there I'd have advised wall mounted taps. They're going to be a nightmare to get off if you ever wamt to change them. Agree with others sit the feet on a timber strap if you have floorboards. I'd sling a couple of rubber line clips on that waste run too. It can go soft with hot water and sag over time. But good job overall😊

Is there any harm in using a bit of sealant when fitting the waste? Had a nightmare in a previous property with a leaking waste and I did this in the end to stop it, but is it a bad idea?

Made easy. 🤣 There's no such thing as made easy.😋😋😋😋😋

Are the taps central? The bath was 1690, half was 845 but you measured 850, or have i missed something?

Hii You have near enough the same setup as me and I am experiencing a massive problem.. the seals for my bath taps have perished and I need to replace my taps...

You could try the nerrad tapex kit to get up there with a camera or a mirror but it's a nightmare job. If its on an internal wall cut a hatch from the next room. I always recommend wall mounted taps for these scenarios for this reason. Good luck.

Luckily it was only plasterboard, not brick, but it was definitely the lesser evil to deal with, and didn't disturb anything in the bathroom. I normally use lever isolation valves instead of ballofix as they can tighten up with time.
