Hello, I really enjoy your videos, you make complicated work possible even for amateurs, the way you explain is very helpful. You are unique because you always emphasize actions that people usually have difficulty with. Thank you
Great advice with the Backer Board. NEVER ever use PVA to prime walls in a bathroom. SBR is what you use. And when i'm about to tile onto Backer Boards i mix up some powder adhesive a bit wet and scratch that onto the surface with the flat edge of a trowel. Backer Board is dry and dusty so good prep is essential. And be careful of the dust, wear a mask and open window.
13.30. ...From my experience most baths have the tap mount-holes in them so that 'wet-wall' batten would stop you from installing your taps and connecting to the water pipes? If you see what I mean.
this is exactly how i levelled my bath a couple of years ago. It just makes more sense as you explained in the video. I thought I was the only one to do it this way.
James, just about to build a bathroom upstairs so we can knock down existing bathroom for extension build. These videos are great, I am going to build my walls tomorrow and use your ways of tiling. Seems such an easy way especially around bath.
Wish you'd done this one about 8 months ago😅 I got my bath level in the end... I chose to tile over tiles which went well. I primed the old ones with Mapei eco prim grip which I found to be a great product. New tiles stuck and stayed stuck
Sound mate I do this aswel! Except I do leave the bath in to tile. Always a ball ache to do the tap end with timber so I sometimes do a leg instead so I can get to the bath taps. Can I ask why the 22mm hot and cold?
Great job as always - Quick question, would you not tank the board first, I always tape and tank just to be on the safe side, also I see you use a lot of those plastic sheets on the floor, what are they called? And can adhesive go straight on without primer? Thank you
Hold tight, quick question. Had a plumber come out to change 2 rads. He’s used 10mm plastic and both are leaking on the lockshield end out of the thread from the elbow. Think it’s speedfit. Should he have used ptfe tape or does the plastic still use an olive ? Unsure
Compression fittings on speed fit work the same as on copper with an olive. The only difference is you have to use an insert to stop the plastic pipe deforming. Try and tighten it slightly if not you might need to drain it and check if there's an insert on there. Add some jointing paste or put some ptfe tape around the olive.
I’ve just installed a similar bath everything when great following your video ,but when I got my first shower to my surprise the internal corner of the bath has a 5 mm slope and the water pools in the corner I’ve agreed with the seller to have the bath replaced with is not ideal but hay ho
This little th-cam.com/users/postUgkxVoi3B4CB6Oygq1-vo4OTL1M_M5JkrXif tub works perfect in our 6 x 6 shower and is easy to get in and out. Also easy to drain.
You're just the guy you hope is going to turn up and do your bathroom! Someone with the attention to detail that you'd give a job, as if it was your own bathroom. One question about the tiling to the bath, I notice it's quite a snug fit, I've always assumed that you should leave at least a few mm, for a decent silicon bead to go in there. You just sealing this with a standard silicon line when finished?
The more I see of your work, the more I realise how much bodging has been done by so called tradesmen in our house. Honestly! I now know how to put things right though thanks to you! 🙏
Yes it is proper practice, no movement especially with super cast baths, silicone doesn't adhere/ stick fully. Thank you for your service videos on other channel. 👍👍

Always do baths this way. Am amazed at tilers reactions as why wouldn’t you?
13.30. ...From my experience most baths have the tap mount-holes in them so that 'wet-wall' batten would stop you from installing your taps and connecting to the water pipes? If you see what I mean.
Your videos just get better and better. Like the new tool bit at the end lol.
Thanks
This is an excellent bathroom renovation series - I have been holding tight all along!
this is exactly how i levelled my bath a couple of years ago. It just makes more sense as you explained in the video. I thought I was the only one to do it this way.
Aren't you supposed to joint and tape the joins in the cement boards using skrim tape and adhesive? I've recently subscribed and enjoy your content 👍
James, just about to build a bathroom upstairs so we can knock down existing bathroom for extension build. These videos are great, I am going to build my walls tomorrow and use your ways of tiling. Seems such an easy way especially around bath.
Absolutely spot on, even the luck where the tiles lined through over the cistern, love it, all in the prep work. Top man.👍🏻
Just fitted my bath using the wooden frame method, made the fit so easy.

Hi nice to watch, what lasser lever you recommend
Sound mate I do this aswel! Except I do leave the bath in to tile. Always a ball ache to do the tap end with timber so I sometimes do a leg instead so I can get to the bath taps. Can I ask why the 22mm hot and cold?
Nice lil display of plumbers crack too 😌 wouldn’t be authentic without plumbers crack haha!
Great job as always - Quick question, would you not tank the board first, I always tape and tank just to be on the safe side, also I see you use a lot of those plastic sheets on the floor, what are they called? And can adhesive go straight on without primer? Thank you
Walls in a shower area should always be taped and tanked prior to tiling. But this is backer board so not really necessary.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who tiles before putting the bath in. I agree it's easier and safer to do it this way
Great video. I love the ox tiling stuff. Definitely going to use that system next time I do any tiling. 👍
Just done my bath last week! The wooden batten trick is pure genius!!
Hi Plumberparts - what did you use to trim the bath panel down? Jigsaw with fine blade?
Great video always makes me laugh. And the idea with bath is genius. Looking good
What adhesive do you use to stick the bath in with
Got lucky with the bath leg and those pipes!
What lazer do you have or recommend? Thanks
Great video James happy Saturday.
could you still use this method where only the long edge of the bath touches a wall, or would a frame be better?
Ah! It's James. The TOOL of note... 🤣
Plumbers eh. Loving it👍
James, the best Tool in the shop haha 😄
Hi is there a way to set the height before tiling the floor??
Good Saturday morning to you sir and your family
Really enjoyed the video thanks for the advice 👍
Where did you purchase the bath from?
Excellent video. Cheers for this.
Hi mate very helpful good energy respectfully funny thanks
No worries!
Can you do a video on how to level a light switch please?

It's coming along great 👍👍👍👍
What is the bath you used here?
It’s true I read a comment on here about you being on top gear you should your no airs no gravies 👍 good life to you and family
This is brilliant
Did you hand the light switch at the start of the video. When plumbers do electrics 😂
Cool dude with brilliant useful tips😊

Thank you for sharing
The more I see of your work, the more I realise how much bodging has been done by so called tradesmen in our house. Honestly! I now know how to put things right though thanks to you! 🙏
Ooh why not a water based primer?
Thanks James👍👍
How come you didn't tile the wall first then put the bath in mate? Tbh I always do it the same as you
I love this guy best channel
Great quality job 👍👍
Looking good buddy. 👍
I would be worrying about the 1 inch tile slither round the bath panel! Bad setting out!!
By the end of the bathroom job, I'll be a pro plumber 😂
and you didnt tank the wet shower area..... Roger will be disappointed... Thought building regs now state to tank all wet areas...
I'm sure he has
Always brilliant
When will you fix that wonky light switch Lol
Ha haaaa, cheers James…. “What a tool!” 🤣
shud ave sin this fore tap head dropped on tu the new bath put a dent init, (now im looking for how to repair a bath) Fanks Boi you make I larf.
All I can say is “Woof” n “MAAAAAATE” 😁
Silly Q. Aren’t you meant to have a slight “fall” on the bath to allow for water to drain? Great series of vids though. Really well explained 👍🏼
The bath already has the fall built in at manufacture. Thus there is no need to do anything other than what was shown in the video. Hope this helps.
Thank you @@ianmcbain898
@@sharonmc5192 You are welcome.
I would.of used classi seal tape round the bath then tile over it ..then seal the tile with silicone..jobs a banana
Brilliant
Hi guys
Beautiful
Mrs Plumber Parts dying for a bath!
What a joker 🤣 wish you was my local plumber
Looks like the bath has been cut in half 😂😂😂 hold tight
God didn’t think about the size of the panel
It still surprises me how many baths I see where they haven't run a batten around the wall first. Isn't it plumbing 101? 😂
Yes it is proper practice, no movement especially with super cast baths, silicone doesn't adhere/ stick fully. Thank you for your service videos on other channel. 👍👍
Nice vide but you we’re lucky the floor was level, that doesn’t happen very often.
