    Bathroom is looking very nice. I still consider myself an amateur but have managed to replace a toilet, install vinyl floor, electric light fitting all in my bathroom. Videos like these help to give me confidence in such projects.

    Ive just finished a full bathroom refurb. On a tight budget and with little skill, it was a success. Hard work, expensive paying the professional trades but did a lot of the straightforward, time consuming labour stuff myself. I must say everything you do is to an incredibly high standard with some of the best tools and kit around. In my experience you can still get a decent job completed with a basic application... and people shouldn’t be overwhelmed by your sometimes over engineered approach. Great channel.

    Glad to see Dot and Dabgate has been consigned to history now. Strewth, thank gawd for that! Your channel Roger is utterly superb. I'm a heating engineer and I really look forward to watching your vids and have a huge amount of respect for you and your team. Totally professional and hugely enjoyable to watch.

  • @billybilly7100
    @billybilly7100 5 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Not sure if Roger has done the best thing here by uploading a new airbrushed version of this vid. The original showed the tiling not being done to recognised standards - which was correctly pointed out by many in the comments - all of which are now gone. Surely a more open and honest approach would have been to either put a paragraph of explanation in the description box in the original vid or acknowledge the changes in this new vid. and use it to explain the new standards and why they exist. This feels like Roger and crew are covering up for bad workmanship. When one of the premises of the channel is to show how things should be done right and teaching others, pretending you have not messed up undermines it's authority and trustworthiness. You have done yourselves a real disservice here.

    I dont usually comment, but like the other comments i am saddened that all your hard work will be undone by the shoddy tiling. i have been fitting premium bathroom and wet rooms for the last 10 years and this includes tiling and plumbing, everything needed to do a bathroom from the brick wall if needed(Drywall etc) the fact there are no envelope cuts in the shower area is absolutely criminal, where is the built in fall of the tray?? seriously do yourself a favour an re-tile the floor or you will get leaks and water that doesn't drain away...you NEVER..EVER dot and dab a floor, this isnt the 60's!!!!

    • @SkillBuilder
      @SkillBuilder  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Raymond
      There is no need for an envelope cut. The tray is single fall as shown by the linear drain. This is now a popular wet room former because it avoids those sharp edged envelope cuts. The water will drain to the waste even with no tiles.

      @@SkillBuilder So the water will just build up either side of the linear drain to the left and right hand side?? as the drain does not run the full length of the shower area..?? i have fitted many linear wetroom trays mainly from marmox and impey and they have the fall in each direction.

      @@SkillBuilder there's plenty of room in there, it would require less space than the current nightmare. The AAV height in this scenario is only limited by the tub height, well above the drain itself. And technically you could route it into the wall above and install the wall grate for air admittance. I really wish the video detailed changes to the configuration,and demonstrated the improved flow rate.

They still had the arrogance/incompetence to send this hack to site wearing their logo and no PPE on the assumption that you, the viewing public, wouldn't know better. This to me is inexcusable. By association they've also made Roger and the team look like prize twats. This has backfired quite badly for them, as I (and no doubt many others) won't be buying their products.

    I'm currently building a new bathroom and using the Abacus Elements Board on the walls. But I'm wondering if it is suitable to use the 10mm Elements Board on the floor beneath a Stone bath? Plan was to fix the elements board to the floor as in the video and then tile on top before fitting the bath. I'm worried with the weight of the bath the Polystyrene core of the Elements Board deforms and cracks the tiles.

The self leveller will just run towards the waste? Make up depth in the tray just with tile adhesive?

      Hi Tom. Yes you are spot on. Either mix the self leveller at that point with slightly less water and trowel it in onto the tray or use tile adhesive on that bit. I tend to use the tile adhesive, it is just a question of not damaging the cable with the corner of the trowel.

      You are right and I did provide an explanation but after talking to the tiler I discovered that you are still able to apply tiles in the way he did if the substrate is sufficiently strong. The requirement for a full bed is for plasterboard and other weak substrates. We have decided to make a new video looking at this issue and we will also carry out some pull off tests to show which is the better method.

      I am very sorry about this. I was going to comment but I wasn't there and, as a plumber, I do not feel I am not in the best position to judge the merits of this one. The British Standard says that the amount of adhesive coverage is dependent on the weight of the tile and the strength of the substrate. It is expressed as a percentage so we are going to do some tests. If we left this video up we were in trouble and by taking out the offending bits we are not encouraging bad practice.
