"I'm going to clear out under here, all this debris". That actually really made my day. A great shot of joy to think there are still people who care about the things that no-one sees and do it just because of their desire for perfection. What a great bloke, what inspiration and really useful information, very well presented.
I can't imagine there is a better plumber to have an apprentice work under...great instructor and a really pleasant bloke, skilled and conscientious. You really raise the bar for a trustworthy tradesman..I really enjoyed this 👍👍
I'm doing my bathroom at the minute, I've never done it before but I've learnt so much from your videos. Your a great guy who gives so much to the community of DIYer's.
Awesome work. I always watch your videos. I appreciate the old school pride and quality you show in your work. Thank you for taking the time to help others learn and tackle this kind of work by setting a great example and level of professionalism.
I’ve been in the building industry for 20 years and have learned so from this channel , You’ve help me progress from what I believe to be a good builder to and exceptional one . Thank you 🙏🏼
Being a bathroom fitter / plumber for many years, you always tend to doubt yourself now and again and this video it absolutely golden to make you realise that everyone makes mistakes! Yes it's a pain in the arse, but important to remain professional and get things spot on as much as you can. Great video, I will be binging many more to come. Thanks ❤️
I can't believe I've just spent two and a half hours watching someone fit a bathroom! But such is your personality and style of presentation that it just draws you in and before you know it, it's finished! Amazing! I loved every bit of it. And what a fabulous job too. Never in my life did I expect to watch Gordon Ramsey fitting a bathroom being narrated by Jason Statham....
Roger, as an ex bathroom / kitchen fitter and general plumber / joiner of 12+ years (c. 2000 - 2013 ish), I've watched lots of your videos about heat pumps, lime mortar issues, insulation, heating, windows, etc. etc. - the list goes on and on. I've never seen the REAL you before like in this bathroom refurb video and I can so much relate to your experiences and thought process, I too was soooo fussy and proud of doing a proper job, for my own satisfaction as much as the customers! I think you'll agree with me that having the right tools for the job is probably 50% of the job well done! Cracking TH-cam series buddy - keep up the good work and stay focused on lowering that cholesterol 👍👍💯💯
Roger, another brilliant video. Thanks for putting the time into the videos and going into so much detail. It's great to see a master tradesman at work
Watching this was so relaxing, I just felt all the stress of daily life just melt away! There's something really beautiful about that attention to detail.
This is an excellently-made, incredibly well-informed and factual video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, and Roger is a true pro. Thanks for all the time and effort it took to produce this. The finished bathroom looks amazing!
Amazing video. Just one thing to point out regarding the extractor fan, the Manrose MF100T is in fact a 4"/100mm in line extractor fan, the size you hate. The 6"/150mm is the MF150T. Both models offer a lower speed, so the customer could still have it slightly quieter if it's currently on the high setting.
I replaced a standard ceiling fan with a Manrose MF100T and what a difference... It really clears the room and I don't find it as noisy as the old one. In the loft, I used four little rubber grommets in-between the fan and the floorboard for a little extra bit of noise reduction.
Amazing attention to detail. It is SO true that when I stand in the shower, I always look at the tile lines and edges, thus when I revamped my bathroom, I made sure it was perfect.

I'm a Business development manager for a commercial property company and watching Roger and the team has massively increased my confidence in my role while quoting works. Watched this instead of a film tonight amd worth every second. Keep up this great greatness 👏 🙌
Great video 👌🏼. Small tip . As the back plates was sunk in the wall for the towel rad instead of using adaptors you could of used 60/100mm rad tails and cut to size
I always clean out the floor void, much better for the next person going in there, and if it's your own house that's likely to be you! Really cuts down the mess though if a quick cable or pipe needs to run at a later date.
So good to see a builder that's conscientious and likes to do a good job that's looks correct. I've met and worked with so many that just Bosh the job out and move on.
Wicked video mate - worked with a tradesman of your caliber for over 5 years myself and it is pretty positive when you see the same methods be used by yourself. Thank you Sir!
Just found him. I have had a few dodgy builders but the worse thing was when we had water leak and on lifting the floor to trace it we were shocked to find our joist gaps were filled with lots of rubble, dirt and dust. What it taught me is 'never' leave any workmen in your house without being there yourself to just keep an eye on them. I also caught a neighbours builder dropping lots of rubble in between the gap between out houses, there was no way 'ever' of retrieving this.
Those kind of people who do things like that are just sharks interested in the money and nothing else. The sad thing is that even the money is never enough for them. I know some of these guys who just drink the lot or shove it up their nose.
Absolutely brilliant. Inspiring work ethic - trying your very best to get everything 'spot on', love it :-) I also love the fact that the mistakes were left in - makes me feel like I don't have to be perfect!
I'm still a complete beginner, getting stuck in, making mistakes, thoroughly enjoy your videos and I agree with that sentiment of cleaning up even if it's not visible, feels good to be neat.
You blokes are superb, this was such a good watch, the time flew by and it was great to see such attention to detail, i really really enjoyed it, thanks for all the effort you put into it.
Only trouble with the laser line is if everything you're marking is in the same plane it's fine. Anything behind that plane will be out depending on how much further back it is if your laser is not spot on 90 degrees to the reference plane/wall. Love the videos great info.
I love this video. I’ve watched three times to try and make me brave enough to install an entire en suite in my house. It’s so comprehensive and by leaving in the odd few mistakes it’s such a good tutorial. Thanks guys, great job. 👌🏼🏴👍🏼
You are a true perfectionist. *If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing well* You would be an absolute diamond for young apprentices with your accumulated knowledge.
Its one thing to know and do something its quite another to teach it. This amazing gentleman does both with style and grace. A very pleasant and helpfull video to watch. Many thanks.
i like when he said i dont like living rubbish under floor boards that shows me he takes his job motivated with pride and good worker i respect people like that
A massive thank you to Roger and the entire team. I’ve been binge-watching loads of your videos during lockdown and they are the only thing that have kept me sane. Your are an absolute inspiration. (Although screen-shotting the name of each tool as it comes up and then ordering it online is not doing my bank balance any good!) I’ve just watched this entire video from start to finish (and will probably watch it again at some point). One quick question - what’s the process for getting those plans drawn up (with studs etc). Your plans appeared to have been printed by Abacus themselves. I would like to attempt to do the work myself. Happy to order all of the Abacus stuff, but when I contacted them they said the company you order the Abacus parts through will do the design and then Abacus will decide what parts you need.
Amazing. Great tips too, hopefully pros will be taking notes. I like how you think about other tradesmen in advance "lets make everyones life a bit easier..." that speaks miles about your character.
@@SkillBuilder You are clearly a perfectionist! I suppose there is always room for improvement throughout life, but experience is something that cannot be taught, but can be shared. Once again, thank you.
Can’t believe I sat for 90 minutes yesterday and a hour today and watched this entire video and enjoyed every minute I wish I could find a bathroom fitter like Roger I’m a keen DIYER but don’t think I would attemp something like this I’ve fitted many a standard bathroom suites and fully tiled walls and floors etc but nothing this complex , this is the next level
Hi Chris When you break it down it is not as difficult as it seems. The biggest obstacle is the time it takes. If you are trying to do it at weekends that is a long time to be without a bathroom
I've only recently subscribed to this channel. God knows why because I've been watching all kinds of building and tool review videos for years. Love the content. Always something new to learn and watched this from beginning to end. I don't know how old you are Roger but it seems like I've been reading your forwards in professional builder since I was in my twenties (I'm 63 )! Well, you know what I mean. Anyway, I remodelled my bathroom back in 2006 and used Wedi board throughout which is much the same as elements. There are 2 solid walls and 2 stud walls. The solid walls were taken back to brick and had a sand and cement render which I then bonded 6mm wedi board to and used 12mm on the walls. The floor had 50mm as it's a wet room with a wedi shower tray and Dalmer drain. Floor and wall to floor joints were sealed with neoprene tape and I even used the proprietary internal and external corner pieces. One of the other things I used but not many others do or have heard of even are Schluter profiles. I used them on the floor to wall transitions and wall corners. The floor profiles come in 2 parts as you order them for the correct floor and wall tile thickness combination. There's not a single bead of silicone in the entire bathroom and in the 14 years it's been in, it hasn't moved or leaked anywhere which is what you expect of course. Also, whilst I remember I used their bath profile which flits under the tiles. it meant that I could tile the bathroom before fitting the bath and when I did I just jacked it up to snugly fit under the trim. Again, it hasn't moved at all and the seal is still as good as the day it was fitted. I'd be interested in what you think of these profiles and even a video on them would be great. They are expensive but my way of looking at it is that you only do it once. Of course, this was for me so cost (within reason) wasn't an issue
Hi Paul Nice to know somebody was reading all that stuff I wrote for over 30 years. I am 67 now so a bit older than you. Sadly Professional Builder got rid of me last year because the advertising revenue has gone through the floor and they had to trim the operation to save money. No matter I am busier than ever on Skill Builder and reach a much larger audience. Hardly anyone mentions magazines these days and I don't think that young people would know what to do with one. If it isn't on their phone they don't want to know.
@@SkillBuilder Yes, unfortunately that's the way the print media is going. My wife, recently retired worked, for various merchants from Hall and Co then build center to Jewson to Keyline so she always brought home a copy! Keep up the good work. It's a great channel and also love Robins videos. Couldn't believe that I didn't know the tape at an angle measurement trick!
That was the best 2 hours ive spent in front of a screen in years !!!! Why ? - because its an absolute delight to watch a skilled professional at work doing it "old school" with belt, braces and an extra belt just in case. Hats off to all the plumbers out there with the same mentalityy.
Great video Roger, next time someone asks me to quote for a wet room/bathroom I will show them this video so they know how much work, thought and expertise goes into the picture they have seen in a magazine.!
Just about to renovate my bathroom, have sturdy all of your videos invested in elements board and many other recommendations. If successful I will save thousands on installation costs!! Thanks Roger top bloke 👍
Well done Roger a very detailed instructional video,, 5 stars!!,,i was chuckling to myself,,i was watching you plastering the ceiling to repair/patch over the hole the electrician left and i thought I saw a hole in it,,,then I realised it was a spot of dust on my laptop screen....
What a great production Roger! Not only educational but highly entertaining with several laugh out load moments. I watched the whole thing with my wife sat next to me, transfixed. As I think somebody else in the comments here said, "better than anything on Netflix!"
randomly came by this video while leaving youtube running and it totally made me laugh when he pulled out the knipex mini wrench! i too bought it thinking yeah its small might use it, many years on its one of the best tools purchased.
Fantastic , always good to leave a bit a blood on the scene the customer knows they’re getting good value for money lol👏👏👏. From one plumber to another really enjoy your work 🔧👍
Absolutely loved watching this, I’m a sparks and will be renovating an additional property up next year - so all this videos are welcomed... It’s nice to be reminded by your professionalism why I wanted to be a tradesmen myself... you’re funny, experienced, thoughtful, caring - only thing, I bet I drink more tea than you haha thanks and keep up the amazing videos... Dan the electrician - Essex
Just seen this,,, loved every minute of it I watch Skill Builder as soon as you put them out ,,,You do a great job lots of good tips,,, best of all is watching a skilled tradesman< doing his job and how easy he makes it look,,, (EXPERIANCE) Well done Guys Best on you tube
Now a self employed plumber mainly doing bathrooms so these videos are great for learning new ways to do things. I must say though Abacus customer service is not great at all. I have been sending emails in regards to becoming a seller of abacus bathrooms but getting no response from them.
Don't worry about being late, we hope these videos will be up there for a good while and if they are being watched we are happy. Thank you for the encouragement
Amazing, thanks for sharing such a detailed vid. I'm currently having my bathroom remodelled by professionals and enjoy following along seeing what they are doing. Maybe one day I'll tackle my other bathroom myself using the knowledge from this!
Thinking 'Outside the Box'........... Redundancy...........Duplication....... Mechanical Protection and 'Over- Engineering',.........plus that little unexpected thing that might just occur. All I was ever taught.....and which still holds true in completing all jobs... Add to this an open mind that allows you to recognise that innovation, (new stuff ), might just provide you with a better way of doing something. Outstanding video, delivered with good grace and a sense of humour.... It really doesn't get much better than this....... Oh and hat tip to the gentleman completing the tiling.... Quality workmanship.... James Hennighan Yorkshire, England
I love watching Roger, im debating whether to attempt my En-suite myself but need to get the courage up lol . But watching these videos makes me want to give it a go.
Me thinketh what an excellent skilled tradesman., a pleasure to watch someone that takes pride in his work. You definitely., need to teach the.......next generation!!@😉🙂
Roger for the old heart health, check out Organic porridge, get it in Tesco's also check out glass of green vegetable juice every day, something like organic cucumber plus organic broccoli plus organic celery I also throw in an apple, it helps to keep the heart and the arteries clear.

Thanks Sven!
Watching this was so relaxing, I just felt all the stress of daily life just melt away! There's something really beautiful about that attention to detail.
He does make it look so easy,

You are the plumbing Roger Daltrey - highly skilled and experienced. A natural presenter.
I get compared to a lot of people and most of it is not flattering but I will take Roger Daltrey, an all round good bloke.
I was watching this and the wife walks in and says “is that the Bradley Walsh of plumbing” LOL 😂 great video
As always, most informative and interesting. Never tire of Roger’s easy listening narrative. Thanks.
Ah that's just got rid of my lock down anxiety. Thanks Skill Builder. True craftsmanship ship
What I love when you explain everything is there's so much common sense to every job. Cheers

Just found him. I have had a few dodgy builders but the worse thing was when we had water leak and on lifting the floor to trace it we were shocked to find our joist gaps were filled with lots of rubble, dirt and dust. What it taught me is 'never' leave any workmen in your house without being there yourself to just keep an eye on them. I also caught a neighbours builder dropping lots of rubble in between the gap between out houses, there was no way 'ever' of retrieving this.

Well made and informative video. The instructor reminds me of an Imperial officer on the bridge of a Star Destroyer.
A great job from start to finish, well done Roger and the team!
Fantastic , always good to leave a bit a blood on the scene the customer knows they’re getting good value for money lol👏👏👏. From one plumber to another really enjoy your work 🔧👍
Absolutely awesome vid
My only pick up is
I always repair ceiling and then paint it BEFORE tiling
It defo shouldn’t have been the very last job
Really surprising seeing how strong that silicone was on the old basin! Wowza
Absolutely loved watching this, I’m a sparks and will be renovating an additional property up next year - so all this videos are welcomed...
It’s nice to be reminded by your professionalism why I wanted to be a tradesmen myself... you’re funny, experienced, thoughtful, caring - only thing, I bet I drink more tea than you haha thanks and keep up the amazing videos... Dan the electrician - Essex
Any time you want to do a video with us just say. Our cameraman is in Colchester.
I love a professional tradesman taking care in his workmanship.
I wish i knew TH-cam and the skillbuilder Chanel before i started renovating my home 5 years ago! Ready great info on the Chanel!!
I do admire the skill involved with producing such a great bathroom.
You've solved my dodgy sink out of line waste pipe hole, will be ordering one of those abacus universal wastes. Nice one.
Just seen this,,, loved every minute of it I watch Skill Builder as soon as you put them out ,,,You do a great job lots of good tips,,, best of all is watching a skilled tradesman< doing his job and how easy he makes it look,,, (EXPERIANCE) Well done Guys Best on you tube
I have just finished this for the 5th time such an informative video. Love the built in way of construction.
Blimey mate that is dedication. I am glad it helps you out.
Now a self employed plumber mainly doing bathrooms so these videos are great for learning new ways to do things. I must say though Abacus customer service is not great at all. I have been sending emails in regards to becoming a seller of abacus bathrooms but getting no response from them.
All praise to you Roger, My knees would give up well before now. Good info thanks.
I’m a bit late to this party but just wanted to say you’re a fantastic teacher.
Don't worry about being late, we hope these videos will be up there for a good while and if they are being watched we are happy. Thank you for the encouragement
Amazing, thanks for sharing such a detailed vid. I'm currently having my bathroom remodelled by professionals and enjoy following along seeing what they are doing. Maybe one day I'll tackle my other bathroom myself using the knowledge from this!
Thinking 'Outside the Box'...........
Redundancy...........Duplication....... Mechanical Protection and 'Over- Engineering',.........plus that little unexpected thing that might just occur.
All I was ever taught.....and which still holds true in completing all jobs...
Add to this an open mind that allows you to recognise that innovation, (new stuff ), might just provide you with a better way of doing something.
Outstanding video, delivered with good grace and a sense of humour....
It really doesn't get much better than this.......
Oh and hat tip to the gentleman completing the tiling....
Quality workmanship....

what a great video, a thoroughly professional job, what was the cost start to finish?
Quality vid, there’s too many that just skip through but at least this shows every step. Learned loads, nice one 👍
More of these videos please. What a great show!
Thanks Ashley, we'd like to do a kitchen one next
@@SkillBuilder Fantastic!!!
I love watching Roger, im debating whether to attempt my En-suite myself but need to get the courage up lol . But watching these videos makes me want to give it a go.
Longest tutorial video I’ve ever seen…but honestly it was worth it 🙌
You see folks !
Taking your time leads to the best finish.
Well done SB !
What an absolutely top tradesman Roger is, he even makes me believe that I can actually do things at home!!
Love a worker who is neat and takes care of his work...and knows what he doing...makes the customer appreciate him more
Best video I've seen about bathroom renovation, and i've seen plenty
Me thinketh what an excellent skilled tradesman., a pleasure to watch someone that takes pride in his work.
You definitely., need to teach the.......next generation!!@😉🙂
Great job, workmanship 100% top drawer stuff.
Roger for the old heart health, check out Organic porridge, get it in Tesco's also check out glass of green vegetable juice every day, something like organic cucumber plus organic broccoli plus organic celery I also throw in an apple, it helps to keep the heart and the arteries clear.
Years later this video is still very helpful. Toupret is now my go to filler.
I would not have any worries with this guy doing work on my house, top tradesman. Wish he did work up in the north east.
I literally grabbed a bag of popcorn. thx for the video.
Awesome stuff. Great insite into the technicalities of bathroom installation.
Great workmanship and pride and attention fto detail.
Really enjoyed the video, great sense of humour, and what a great job..
Glad I don't have to pay the bill. 👍
