Although i've been plumbing for 30 years i had to subscribe, we're always learning. Haven't used Plumbers Mate for about 10 years. Silicone every time!
Brilliant! Once again. This is on my list of jobs to do in my new house, and yet found another video to walk me through it :D Bloody pucker! Thanks again.
Great videos mate love watching them fun and education all the same time
top video and as a beginner who has gutted our new home ready to move in about 2-3 months i had the confidence to do alot more than anticipated. many thanks shaun
+Shaun Davies No worries Shauno!

You are the dog's balls mate. The best on TH-cam by far . Always great videos and fun to boot.
Saving me a fortune on bathroom refit .
Cheer's again.
No worries dude! I'll tell the cat!
Great job, love how you were surrounded at the end by half the tools from your van!!!
Always happens like that!!! Cheers, PP!
Ahh man... I owen this dude such a hi5! Soo many good videos just like this that have really helped me fit my own bathroom like a pro. Mucho gracias, merci bien, thank you! HOLD TIGHT!
+SJM No worries dude!
Brilliant job just about to do mine what size drill bits did you use to drill holes out thanks
Highly recommend! !!!
Can you give us the link were you have done the review about makita tools, because i couldn't find it.Thank you!!!
I am just an amateur but I think you are a clever and lovely man- keep it up- the plumbing, that is
+Zaffar Iqbal Thanks dude!
Fantastic video mate ! Do you screw the basin to the wall too?
On a compact basin, how do you safely release the strong springs that hold up the china services cover under the basin?
Hi, can I ask your advice on a plumbing problem? I work in a school where there are sinks in every classroom, and in one of the classrooms (just the one) the hot tap isn't getting hot. Any idea what the problem is? thanks (the caretaker seems to think it is something to do with a valve being faulty)
How long did that take James? Looked very time-consuming when you pulled out the benders and the welding gear. You always do a perfect job but that one would have taken ages. Cheers mate.
a real plumber solder copper tape measure great stuff
beautifully done................
dawa wangyal Thanks!
what size was the drill bit you used to make the hole at the back of the unit?
Hi, how do you link up the overflow to the waste please, I've seen numerous videos but noone mentions how to connect the overflow
Hold tight
Hello James is there any chance you could do a video on fitting a toilet and built in sink unit, I've got a downstairs bathroom at my house and I'm thinking about replacing the original toilet and removing the sink too which is in the opposite corner of a very small room. I'm thinking about replacing them with one of the sink/toilet units.
What's your opinion on them I'm not sure about the fact that to get to the sink you have to reach over the toilet pan
Thanks
And as ever hold tight
How do you seal the MDF after cutting or don’t you bother? Thanks
It’s easy for you because you’ve done it plenty. As a complete newbie and for the first time watching this, it looks tricky. Lol
hi there' I enjoyed ur video. can u plz tell me what is the minimum basin size for two bed flat and also the minimum size of bathroom with toilet and basin. thanks
There's no minimum size as far as I know....
That job is taken a while!!!☺
Two weeks until the toilet vid goes up. We've got an ask the plumber before then!
Nice little job there James! Cracking mate!
Cheers Marc!
How did you vent to allow atmospheric pressure into the system? & can you do a video of a typical waste system in U.K.?I'm from the U.S. we have a lot of differences in waste systems.
Hi Jason, we'll try to. What are your standard pipe sizes over there? PP!
1-1/2" 2",3" & 4" pipe sizes for waste piping depending on the fixture unit calculation all inches here, we don't use metric in construction here very often at all, I've heard some of my friends in special circumstances however I have never used metric.
Hi, Where did you buy your vanity unit from?
Thanks. I'm fitting a complete bathroom. Done the floor and wall tiles, toilet, towel radiator, shower tray etc etc then DOH...... just sorting out the vanity unit and couldn't work out how to attach the wink to the unit! Looked up on here and I'm fitting virtually the same unit :-)
+Darren Cowasaki MAGIC MATE!

Good Vid PP one question the pipe cut outs leave a raw edge in my case its an mdf cabinet I have been told its ok to use a wipe of water proof unibond to seal this from moisture as i soaks into the material better than silicon what would you recommend ?
Ta in advance Lee
Either should be fine mate!
how do you get your flexi pipes tight into the taps when they recessed beyond the reach of a spanner ? ...Cheers. Your video's are excellent, very informative.
You can try twisting the flex lightly. Remember most seal on an o ring and don't need to be really tightened up. PP!
did it, spot on hand tight, no leaks ....Thank You
nice video thanks.. but how do I secure the basin to the unit and do I have to silicone the whole edge/lip that the basin sits on?
Viney Chawda Use silicone mate
hi just subscribed to your channel
never fitted a bathroom but going to give it ago. fingers crossed it all goes well
Good luck Linda, if you need any help lemme know!
plumberparts
I probably take you up on that. :-)
Hello mate,
Top Vid. Very informative, many thanks for posting!
I'm going to give this a go, but just wanted to know what that electric saw thing you used to square off the slots for the pipes is called, and what you used to so easily cut the waste pipe. Sorry if these are lame questions, but I'm a novice who'd really appreciate the advice and the transcript doesnt seem to cover those bits.
Many thanks in advance!
:-)
its a multitool a really seful tool. certainly not new things . very useful for trimming doors still in situ.
How do you cut the vanity unit top. With top on or just the carcase. I have to cut mine and instructions are vauge
what is the drill/chisel called you used for finishing off the drill holes in the vanity unit??? thanks
+Shaun Davies Thats a Fein.
hi can I use existing sink and remove pedestal and just have two floating drawers style unit below?
Hmmm not a great idea as the weight of the sink is then just on the wall....could drop! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 th-cam.com/users/plumberparts 👈⬅️ IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY! 😎
Is there an over flow in the sink bowl itself? How the hell do you vent in the U.K? I'm from the U.S.
Nice timing I am just about to fit that very same unit and sink, and the toilet unit :) one question what is the life span of them braded pipes, my sister recently had one fail on her toilet and just had one fail and work, so a bit concerned about using them now.
Can't really say but always buy quality and try not to bend them up too much. Regards, PP!

Hey great vids! Im struggling with fitting a pre-made bath panel, no instructions, how nice! I have 1 bath panel, 1 Plinth , x2 L brackets and 8 very small screws :(, please help
Do you have a video showing how to install and electric shower?
You will be lucky if anyone does on TH-cam, the electrical regs in the UK can send you to prison.
Did that right vanity door smack the toilet when it was opened, Ooops!!
Don't worry Jimbo, I don't think anybody noticed, until now of course lol
Ha! Can't remember!
Is there any downsides to using linseed oil putty. Instead of plumbers mate?
+Heavyweightboxing Fan yes Plumbers mait never sets....where as putty eventually goes hard. PP!
great video ...... did anyone else notice the vanity unit door handles are inside!!!
do you fix it for other people
Do you not need to screw the sink to the wall as well 🤔
Where can I buy those isolation valves with the tap connectors on mate?
@plumberparts
Most standard plumbers merchants and DIY stores sell them!
Sorry for the delay in replying!

hold tight 😀
Why don't plumbers like working on lead pipes? What would you do with the lead pipes being in the way?
Cos lead is the only thing thicker than they are.
Ground the pipes with earth cable?
Sparky's job! :) PP!
Would be corrected by moving W/C the to the wall to left.
Does the basin just sit on the vanity unit without being fixed to it?
Yep, but siliconed down is fine and fixed to the wall.
That van looks strangely clean and organised 8-/ sure you're a plumber haha :-)
Mate only for a day, then it's back to the madness!!!
What iPhone case do you have
Otter box mate!
James how's it going? watch all the videos you upload and have helped a hell of a lot. can u watch the videos I have uploaded and tell me if it's the correct way. sorry about the professionalism on them haha. thanks mate
When I get a sec I will mate!
no worries matey.
Everything all over the floor, would drive me insane 😂
I need a Fein in my life.
wont pass inspection in the U.S. Reason being fixtures are to close in my part of the country we must maintain 18" on either side of tub and about 18-24" on either side of W/C
Erin Woods No worries dude, here in the UK, there's no problem. Although I'll not it for the US for future reference. Many thanks, PP!
Kool, vid very well done .you explained this so that my sons could do it . Also that W/C is hella weird but it need here in the states.
don't understand why people use plumbers mait 5 passes of ptfe is all thats needed and its much less messy :)
Minions
This time I will use woodprix instructions to make it.
*Bowl not deep enough.*
You can make it yourself, just loook and learn from WoodPrix .
No singing Hoooooooray. ;o)
Cumbriahandyman :)
I did it with Stodoys plans.
Don't understand why you check for leaks. Have watched all of your vids and you have never once had a leak.
+Handyjack Nor do I now. It's never happened....since that one massive time! PP!
Haha its called editing
Thousands of lifetime projects with Stodoys plans.
On a compact basin, how do you safely release the strong springs that hold up the china services cover under the basin?
That job is taken a while!!!☺
The past participle and present tense used to devastating effect, there.
