You know mate. The keyboard warriors of KZfaq!

yeah when you batton the wall, use a quality bath like a Cleargreen bath and make sure its fitted solid, then filling the bath before final seal isnt really required as it not going anywhere! but you also get people who says "the bath come with legs, and metal clips to fix to the wall, why do i need need to batton the wall or make a frame" and just want to fit them as quick as possible, now these are the installs that are best to fill before sealing to let the bath sit down. We install our baths on battons but before tiling (as part for the 1st fix) but our tiler always fills the bath as its just something he has always done.

@@plumberparts oh mate….. tell me about it🤣🤣🙈

@@RubberduckbathroomsCoUk 👍🏼👍🏼

I wish James had done the bath in my new build back in 2013 - sunk and all the silicone peeled off the first time I used it, almost pooped myself thinking I was going through the floor 🤣 #DWHQuality

Yes I have the same here. We’ve been planning a new bathroom now but everything has to be done within the weekend.. 🎉

@@itwithmike Tell them that they need to find someone else who can do a quality job in two days if they think it's possible. Give them the responsibility and see how fast they backtrack!

Please don't! 😂

I believe it’s stixall adhesive and sealant clear.

Thank you.

Watch the previous videos - they're not attached to plasterboard.

Even I was bored of it! 😂

Traditionally you would have the bath on the wall first and then tiles down to the level of the bath. If the tiles go behind the bath, it might not seal correctly.

@@MrManningata Yeah unfortunately this room is already tiled and will be replacing a shower cubicle with a bath/shower.

@@_Miner I reckon if you seal between the bath and the tiled wall, and then fix the bath against the wall, and then add more sealant at the seam - should be OK. I'm not a bathroom fitter though.

I'm no bathroom fitter, but I do a lot of DIY. I definitely would not cut the tiles out. I'd still mark where to put the batten, and make sure it is level. Then I'd do exactly what had been done in the video, silicone the batten etc, then the side of the bath. That will deffo be watertight. Make sure you use an anti mould bathroom sealant so it doesn't become mucky. Also, just keep an eye on the silicone visually over time. Also, you could put a pvc bead between the tile and the bath to add an extra layer of protection. You have nothing to worry about honestly.

If you fit a bath to a wall that's already been tiled, you can guarantee it will leak in the future

He hinted at it - Use loctite instead of thread tape

That's the isolation underneath

Definitely not cool white in a bathroom!

It's so frustrating

How do you remove a glued in Bath?

@suesmith821 cut it with a stanley

​@@plumberpartsWill a Stanley knife reach under the tiles &;down an inch to cut the glue?

Looks like Stixall Adhesive & Sealant

@@Jack155Q4 it was indeed - i should of updated sorry.

Hello mate. Just added to the shop. Here's a direct link. In use Dow Corning: amzn.to/3390iyL

Everbuild Stixall

@@plumberparts awesome. Thanks mate. Last question. Where did you get get your bath taps, as have been looking around and struggling to find wall fitted taps that we both like? Hold tight 😁

@@plumberparts what about that silicone gun looks the ticket, is it available on the store.

That's the way now mate. The old angled steel bits are useless.

@@plumberparts but the screwed fixings don't just rely on the surface bond of the wall. It'd be advised to use both, things like skimmed walls can easily separate from the substrate far before the construction adhesive would fail.

Pointed tile drill bits make the job a lit easier.

@@serverstatuscouk Yeah I'm still divided on this. Used both. Both are hell. I just hate porcelain tiles SO MUCH!

@@plumberparts time for the sds 🤣

@@plumberparts i use glass drill bits, never had an issue, put a few drops of water and takes less than a min

I am now about to listen to Lee (is it Bryce?) on the Archers! 😂
