Going to start doing a “How To” series of some jobs we come across a lot in Plumbing. Just seeing how this one goes but they will be interim videos between the main Wednesday and Sunday Video… Thanks everyone as always🙌🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I used these drill bits for the first time last week after seeing your previous video . I drilled 30 holes in rock hard porcelain and one bit did most of the holes . Best drill bits for porcelain I’ve ever bought . Great recommendation 👍
My drill bits came through today on your recommendation. Wicked hack. Over the years I have spent ££££ on posh drill bits. I like the idea of the how to series.
Hey, great video, really helpful for someone doing up a house on a budget. I went to buy the drill bits but the listing isn't active anymore. Got any other recommendations for where to buy them?
Had a plumber quote us £300 to fit a couple of taps, a shower screen and replace a radiator with a towel rail. That's 3 days' wage for me, and watching videos like this made me realise I went down the wrong career path. You made it look so easy, I picked up a few valuable pointers for someone who has 0% plumbing experience. Wish me luck!!
That sounds more than reasonable mate. I imagine some pipework would have been involved to replace towl rail so that's a pretty good price even up north
Hey there, HBello form Melbourne Australai. Thank you so much. . I am about to fit a similar screen today, so was great to see your short video to re confirm the procedure before I began. Much appreciated
Hi mark, love your channel, I definitely think a how to series would be good, I know there is alot of stuff like that already on TH-cam but I think for those of us who watch you regularly, we trust the stuff your telling us more than the random videos we find on TH-cam so it would be great to share your skills and info for how-to's
@@MJTiffPlumbing all sorts, I'm an avid DIYer and trying to start up my own sole trader business in carpentry and bathroom and kitchen renovations so anything like domestic stuff to do with Teeing off mains and hooking up waste pipe and soil stacks, and installing stuff in bathrooms and kitchen, anything really
Great, thank you 👍 What’s the best way to protect window/ frame/sill when it’s right in the shower/bath? I use a shower curtain, it’s a right pain, are there any better easy hacks or ways to get the water to run off the sill instead of sitting there?
Thanks for another great vid, nice to see the silicone applied behind wall profile, you wouldn’t believe the amount of houses with poorly fitted enclosures and screens and wondering where the rot in adjacent walls and skirtings coming from ,! Keep up the vlogs
Hello , thank you for the video , I'm doing this next week but instructions say you should do the seal first then do the screws then you won't get that gap you had at the end , thi video has helped me to make an idea what I will be doing , thank you
Thanks for this video, over the coming weeks I will be fitting a shower screen over my bath and found the video useful. I am intending to replace an existing elecric shower with a thermostatic one and will be moving it to the opposite end of the bath after building a narrow stud wall, have you any tips/videos on the piping involved, I have looked through your channel but can't see anything, maybe I have missed it, I intend to use plastic piping, any advice you can pinpoint me to would be most helpful. Many thanks.
Thanks for the video. As many have said it's the real life plumbing including mistakes, showing the things that can go wrong and fitting taps lying on your back under the sink (!!) that I like about your channel. The idea of "How to" videos is fair enough but there are hundreds of them available on TH-cam and I'm not sure whether the work involved for you would enhance your viewing figures - what I perk up for is when I here you say "here's a little trick of the trade", the more of them the better for me.
Really helpful - thanks for posting. One question if I may? The area I'll be fitting my screen to is a tiled area which is boxed (hollow area) - is there a particular type of plug i should use?
Thanks mate perfect vid 👍 I now know what’s what because I had a cowboy plumber wreck my bathroom a year ago so had to do bits and pieces myself but I’m no professional but was skint. The problem I have is the screen he fitted was ok but now is so stiff I think it’s going to rip the profile off the wall. How can I lubricate the hinges or is it a manufactured fault?? And can the screen be lubricated or is it a new screen needed???? I really haven’t a clue but at least I know how to take a screen off/ put one up thanks to you 👍 cheers
Great concise vid, cheers. A couple of tips you could use.. I mark crosses on the wall or tiles so it's easy to check the drill doesn't drift - useful to keep everything spot on when you have a row of fixings to line up.. good to drill the tile 1mm bigger than the wall hole to avoid cracks when putting the screws in (and a spot of silicone in the holes first!).
@drikareis1770 Use a 1mm bigger drill bit for the tile, then change to a smaller one to drill into the wall behind. So, for a 7mm wall plug, use 8mm tile bit first, then 7mm masonry bit - make sure you only widen the hole in the tile and don't go too deep.
Hi Mark I love all your videos and your honesty and it helps me to get more and more experience to avoid any mistakes As much as I can and I do appreciate for your sharing 👍🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️🙂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Enjoy watching your videos. By the way, how can one cover the slight gaps left after fitting a Shower door on a wall that is not straight enough. Thanks
Great idea for a series! Some of the issues i find are not covered for the amateur beginner is how to deal with actually getting the water off properly and what to do when it will not shut off. I.e turning an isolation valve off and then turning it back on again and it leakes from the isolation valve and will not stop dripping. What do you do there? Also when draining down to change a radiator and the drain off valve washer sticks in and/or will not reseal when trying to fill it back up again. For me the worry is what to do when the water will not stop and you dont know where to or how to stop it properly. So....changing a kitchen tap which has isolation valves on you turn them off fine, change the tap go to turn valves on and they both leak and will not stop....whats the next step, change the isolation valves but how when water will not turn off at tank/boiler etc. Yes i realise simple jobs for professionals like yourself but scary for the amateur and no idea how to address the problem. Hope this makes sense and thank you for the great videos really appreciated.
Love the channel Mark like the fact its real world good tip and tricks of the trade and I think a how to series is a good idea . Keep up the good work and enjoy the rest of the week👍
@@MJTiffPlumbing class mate, going to be very informative. Quick question, which/where did you get the shower screen from? Never knew the glass ones could move inwards and outwards from the bath. I always thought they were secured solid.
Hello mate I need a new screen.... this one looks decent....where can I get it from... what model please and how much...? thanks mate ....great video very helpful.... 👍🏻
Hi ya mark I fit bathrooms and also do plumbing, but as I’m not gas registered I don’t do a lot of heating, my gripe is open vented heating systems , when you airlock them ? Any tips or maybe a video clip on how to purge or find etc… Cheers loving the quality fitting you do and the vids you send out!!
Hi Mark A good start to the how to series. I love the warts and all series. I know what ever Subject you cover it will be well presented and easy to follow.
Nice little vid that one mate. Didn't comment but really enjoyed the last one of you filling up. Not a plumber but I can imagine that no matter how many times you've completed an full fit out like that, the day of filling up must be stressful. U nailed it mate. Keep up the good work and the vids.
Hi Mark, just been to my mother in law’s to fit a new silicone strip to the bottom of the glass screen and it’s now obvious why they are splitting after a few months. The gap from bottom of glass to top of bath is ok nearest the profile but at the other end of the glass it’s almost touching the bath too. Would I be able to adjust the screen when it slots into the profile or presumably I would need to remove the three screws, make sure the glass is parallel with the bath then re drill the profile! Thanks Paul
I've got a similar situation but the bracket on the wall isn't level. Front edge glass nearly touches bath. Put 12mm packing behind bracket to test and that made it all level. This can't be the right way though?! I thought there might be some adjustment on the hinges on the screen itself. Has three holes at either end, two are screws and the middle one looks filled. One screw looks like it's holding the glass with a clamp, the other one is in the part that fits into bracket. Undoing these screws didn't seem to do anything. Surely not all bathroom walls are dead plumb? The bath is definitely level, it's the tiled wall that's out 🤷 I can't find a single guide online where someone adjusts the bracket at the wall or show how to adjust the screen hinges. All guides just screw on, all works, happy days 😂
Great video! Our screen looks to be leaking from where the glass meets the metal part of the frame (not the bit that swivels). Could this just be sealed with some clear silicone?
Please keep them coming for the trainees like me. How to solder, and how to measure out and pull bends in the right place would be marvellous for me. 😊 My first ever paid plumbing job was fitting a screen like this and a medicine cabinet. Quick question when drilling for the plugs do you stay the same size as usual or go up half a mil or so through the tile. I'm always terrified the tiles will crack putting the screw in if the tip of the plug is too snug if that makes sense. Any thoughts from someone who's drilled thousands more than I have would be appreciated. Look forward to these. 👍
Great video mark on fitting of a shower screen it amazes how so many people get this wrong.it would be good to see how to fix a bathroom towel radiator onto a plasterboard wall
@@thomaswatt1658 I had a job the other day where someone had used metal self drill fittings the tenant slipped out of the bath and grabbed the radiator and pulled it out from the wall I used the same fittings you mentioned have seen toggle fitting used aswell
I used to silicone the back of profile's but then I had to change a screen a few years later and it ended up braking a load of tiles so I only silicone the holes and the outside now!
Hiya Mark. I've been having a right problem with these hinged doors leaking where the seal strip meets the hinge. Any advice on that? Something I should be looking for? As always loving the videos and they're helping me in my apprenticeship greatly!
Great video. My shower screen kicks out on the bottom when it swings open/closed. Which has caused the silicone to fail. Any ideas why it could be doing this?
Hi Mark, again I have to say, your channel is brilliant, and thank you for the effort you make into editing and putting out these videos. Love the idea of a “series of how to jobs” keep them coming buddy
Thanks a lot for this mark, could you make more how to videos and also some on central heating as well if you get around to them please, I am also big fan of your first fix work I have learned quiet a lot from them, thanks mate.
Amazing video, thank you! I have a question. In my case, the bathtub edge, so, where the profile needs to seat , is right on the door wooden frame. So, I will be drilling into wood to put the screws. Do I still use the plugs? Do I need different screws? Your advice is appreciated Thanks
My shower screen keeps falling down, the profile on my wall doesn't have the holes where you made the pilot holes into the metal. Can I make these holes my self, and what screws do you recommend to fix the screen into the profile so the screen doesn't fall down. I guess the plumber didn't do a good job on my screen. Many thanks
Hi, I'm new to this, only just found it. I live in a rented house and am so sick of the shower curtain. Wanted to see how to put a shower screen in. I have smaller tiles on the walls, I'm worried about them cracking when I drill into them?
Hi mark would like to see how a shower tray is installed with tile adhesive or sand cement when using silicone isn’t suitable. Eg shower base doesn’t sit level.
Hello m8 great video. Just a quick question. Sometimes I get a leak between the rubber seal and the hinge. Do I leave the seal straight or cut it at an angle? Thanks
Tilers have done an awesome job by the way, is the mastic down to you? Have you seen the new screens with the adjustable screw holes? Great if you are doing a replacement, ScrewFix have them, think it's triton, saves the multiple trips to the van getting drills and shit. Got to say I've bought loads of them drill bits, they are really good quality, be careful if you are drilling porcelain and dipping them in water as it tends to temper them and make them brittle. Pain in the arse when the end snaps off in the hole. Sorry for the lots of questions etc but love the channel it's refreshing to see a plumber posting what it's really like, I've had enough of perfect pipe work etc lol.
Yep this channel is all about the “real world plumbing” side of things… Mastic is being done by the builder/owner….. he wants it a certain way so leaving him to it….
Hi I have the same screen at home ere and the top nipple that holds the door snapped off any ideas on how to take the edge trim off to get a new piece on and are they just a clip on top don't want to damage removing it any tips welcome thanks
might be too long for a video but would love something on how to tank/hardybacker a shower area ready for tiling, very nervous about doing it even though I'm in the trades, down want leaks 6 months down the line! Love the videos mate, cheers!
the ebay tile drill link is dead. It looks like "10Pcs 6mm Spear Head Ceramic Porcelain Marble Tungsten Drill Bit Glass Tile UK" seems to bring up the same product 🙂
Good idea for the channel👍 How to hang a rad, measuring where to position brackets with pipes already in position. As usualy in the past I've been able to hang the rad first then link pipes to it. 🤣 got one to do at me mums 🙈
just a quick question I am upgrading my shower screen what size raw plugs did u use thanks just dint want to Insert a screw and crack the tiles thanks barry
Great Video Mark, made it look nice and simple. Would like to see a Video around the Quooker Tap,are they worth the money? Would like a how to video on basic plumbing, fitting U bends, joining pipes etc. Thanks Mark👍
To all those people who are commenting that there is water leaking by the screen hinge, ensure the bath has been fitted level. Even a couple of mm incline can cause this to happen. Even incline the bath a couple of mm towards the back wall. I've just had a huge issue with incompetent plumbers. I discovered the issue simply by using a spirit level, they didn’t use one. They suggested putting up a shower curtain to solve the problem. I'm hundreds of pounds out of pocket too.
I’ve just moved in a rental property and have this exactly leakage problem. The reason I watched this video so I can remove it and put a tension rod up with a shower curtain. I’m planning to buy in a couple of years so will keep this in mind if installing one 😅
Hey mark where was the laser level? Would have been a great opportunity to get that out. Nice idea for the how to vids just hope they don’t take away from the main videos 👍
Great film, I enjoyed that. A how to series sounds good, even if you could already do the task, it’s worth watching to maybe learn a new tip or two. A how to bend a 15mm crossover film would be good, I have done it in the past but I think I make it hard work. To see how you would approach it would be great. As always, thank you, take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍

Is the wall complete level??
Hi mark, superb channel,very informative from a very honest plumber and yeah the how to keep them coming,top man top job👍👏
Thanks Andrew 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi Mark, again I have to say, your channel is brilliant, and thank you for the effort you make into editing and putting out these videos. Love the idea of a “series of how to jobs” keep them coming buddy
Thanks as always Richard 🙌🏼🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks a lot for this mark, could you make more how to videos and also some on central heating as well if you get around to them please, I am also big fan of your first fix work I have learned quiet a lot from them, thanks mate.
Will do!
Great explanation and demonstration cheers 👍
Thanks buddy👍🏼👍🏼
Great vid as always mate. I usually use the bosch blue multi construction drill bits for tiles which fly through it...but whatever gets the job done 💪
Yep they are pretty good aswell
Amazing video, thank you!
I have a question.
In my case, the bathtub edge, so, where the profile needs to seat , is right on the door wooden frame.
So, I will be drilling into wood to put the screws. Do I still use the plugs? Do I need different screws?
Your advice is appreciated
Thanks
Just screw into the wood with no plugs and all will be fine
Great guide, clear and concise, thanks
Thanks buddy
Your channel just gets better mate👍👍
Thankyou mate…… means a lot 🙌🏼🙌🏼
My shower screen keeps falling down, the profile on my wall doesn't have the holes where you made the pilot holes into the metal. Can I make these holes my self, and what screws do you recommend to fix the screen into the profile so the screen doesn't fall down. I guess the plumber didn't do a good job on my screen. Many thanks
Yep drill them yourself and use small stainless steel screws with caps on
Thank you so much for the advice :) @@MJTiffPlumbing
Great video mark, it mixes up the content of the channel
Thanks mate…. Yer looks like a lot of people are saying to do some more of these 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, I'm new to this, only just found it. I live in a rented house and am so sick of the shower curtain. Wanted to see how to put a shower screen in. I have smaller tiles on the walls, I'm worried about them cracking when I drill into them?
Should be ok if you go careful
Can you tell me what make the shower panel is I liked it easy to install , cheers
Think that was a Coram panel
Cheers
Hi mark would like to see how a shower tray is installed with tile adhesive or sand cement when using silicone isn’t suitable. Eg shower base doesn’t sit level.
Will see what I can do
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for 👍🏻
Thanks buddy
Great stuff thank you for sharing this video and appreciate your time 🙏🏻
Thanks mate
Just *found* you today Mark, great videos... thank you for posting your content Mate 😊
Welcome to the channel buddy….. glad you enjoy my content
Hello m8 great video. Just a quick question. Sometimes I get a leak between the rubber seal and the hinge. Do I leave the seal straight or cut it at an angle? Thanks
Thanks mate….. not too sure what you mean tbh
Watched a view videos on this job and this one's the best. Best crack on with it myself then 🤞
👌🏼👌🏼
Hi Mark it's a great idea and could you do a macerator install when one pops up please 👊
Did one a few weeks back mate, take a look👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you for this video. Really helps a lot😊.
Thanks 👍🏼
Tilers have done an awesome job by the way, is the mastic down to you? Have you seen the new screens with the adjustable screw holes? Great if you are doing a replacement, ScrewFix have them, think it's triton, saves the multiple trips to the van getting drills and shit. Got to say I've bought loads of them drill bits, they are really good quality, be careful if you are drilling porcelain and dipping them in water as it tends to temper them and make them brittle. Pain in the arse when the end snaps off in the hole. Sorry for the lots of questions etc but love the channel it's refreshing to see a plumber posting what it's really like, I've had enough of perfect pipe work etc lol.
Yep this channel is all about the “real world plumbing” side of things…
Mastic is being done by the builder/owner….. he wants it a certain way so leaving him to it….
Fantastic so glad I found your channel 🙌
Thanks buddy…. Welcome aboard
Hi I have the same screen at home ere and the top nipple that holds the door snapped off any ideas on how to take the edge trim off to get a new piece on and are they just a clip on top don't want to damage removing it any tips welcome thanks
might be too long for a video but would love something on how to tank/hardybacker a shower area ready for tiling, very nervous about doing it even though I'm in the trades, down want leaks 6 months down the line! Love the videos mate, cheers!
Take a look in the playlists and the “sunken bath” videos shows just that mate 🙌🏼👍🏼👍🏼
the ebay tile drill link is dead. It looks like "10Pcs 6mm Spear Head Ceramic Porcelain Marble Tungsten Drill Bit Glass Tile UK" seems to bring up the same product 🙂
Yep, just put “Tile drill bit” into eBay and they come up
Where did you get the screen from?? Thank you!!
Plumbase buddy…. It’s a Coram one
Great vid Mark keep them comming. Would be good to see a wet room / walk in shower from scratch
Thanks mate….
If you haven’t seen my “sunken bath” series then that’s got the walk-in shower install mate…. 👍🏼👍🏼 (it’s in the playlists)
Good idea for the channel👍
How to hang a rad, measuring where to position brackets with pipes already in position. As usualy in the past I've been able to hang the rad first then link pipes to it. 🤣 got one to do at me mums 🙈
Thanks mate
Will add to the list
just a quick question I am upgrading my shower screen what size raw plugs did u use thanks just dint want to Insert a screw and crack the tiles thanks barry
I use brown plugs mate, just go careful when tightening
No worries they look red in the video thanks for the reply
A how to series sounds like a fantastic idea mate.
Can you do a video on how to be a successful TH-camr please 🙏🏼 😊
Hahahaa…. Just ring me direct mate😉😉
Great tutorial as I'm fitting my own tomorrow,love your channel 👍
Thanks buddy
Fitted my shower screen yesterday and must say iv done a good job cheers for the know how and saving me money 👍
Love the how to series thanks for the tile bits link need to get some cheers
Thanks Glyn….. yer seems that a lot of people are looking forward to some useful “how to’s”
Worked for me @
Home just now am a joinery video made it easy work 😎
👍🏼👍🏼
Nice one mate,I usually put silicone within the bottom of the profile before putting the screen in.never any problems.
Thanks mate 👍🏼👍🏼
Hi, i noticed you used red rawl plugs to fix back, is that ok in plasterboard, i'm aboiut to fix back to plasterboard?
Just plateredboard???… no tiles??
Nice wee video .. invest in the marksman marker for marking off for holes in tiles …find them great when I’m fitting profiles
Thanks mate, yer been meaning to get one of those
How do you get the trim pvc on corner part of the shower bath screen having difficulty the bottom one went on easy
Great Video Mark, made it look nice and simple. Would like to see a Video around the Quooker Tap,are they worth the money? Would like a how to video on basic plumbing, fitting U bends, joining pipes etc. Thanks Mark👍
Thanks Andy, I will add it to the “how to” list 😉
To all those people who are commenting that there is water leaking by the screen hinge, ensure the bath has been fitted level. Even a couple of mm incline can cause this to happen. Even incline the bath a couple of mm towards the back wall. I've just had a huge issue with incompetent plumbers. I discovered the issue simply by using a spirit level, they didn’t use one. They suggested putting up a shower curtain to solve the problem. I'm hundreds of pounds out of pocket too.
👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve just moved in a rental property and have this exactly leakage problem. The reason I watched this video so I can remove it and put a tension rod up with a shower curtain. I’m planning to buy in a couple of years so will keep this in mind if installing one 😅
@TinyBallOfHate the shower curtain wouldn't have made any difference because the bath wasn't level in my case.
I hope you've got your issue sorted
Great video easy to understand thankyou 👍🙂
Your welcome mate
@@MJTiffPlumbing 😘👍
Hey mark where was the laser level? Would have been a great opportunity to get that out. Nice idea for the how to vids just hope they don’t take away from the main videos 👍
Yer very true…. Was in the van
Love this Tiff. Great channel and you seem down to earth mate. 👊🏾
Thanks mate….. just being myself buddy🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm all for a how to series mark. I like to put a bead of silicon on the profile also,it's like a belt nd braces, job done well
Indeed mate
Great film, I enjoyed that.
A how to series sounds good, even if you could already do the task, it’s worth watching to maybe learn a new tip or two.
A how to bend a 15mm crossover film would be good, I have done it in the past but I think I make it hard work.
To see how you would approach it would be great. As always, thank you, take care, regards, Chris. 👍👍👍
Thanks Chris….
Yer I guess everyone does things different so it’s always good to see others ways of working….👍🏼👍🏼
😎 Greetings from Luxembourg. Great channel 💯
Hey Neil…. Glad your enjoying the content
hi mark good video what plugs did you use and how was the height of panel worked out in relatation to bath so it seals properly thanks
Red plugs on this, and the profile is flush to the bath, that’s how it’s set. Everything works from that
