Thank you for your bathroom videos Rob. I'm currently going through the planning process for my own bathroom and would appreciate a detailed video on the stages needed in order to complete the project. (think its called first fix, second fix, etc) I.e. clearing out old fixtures, stud walls, plumbing, wiring, type of flooring removal/replacing ready for tiling, ceiling etc, etc. Best wishes

Hi Rob. For sealing waste traps I would suggest to don't use acetoxy silicones as they dissolves many types of rubber seals. Only neutral or polymer/hybrid, If you are using Dow brand use 785N. also I have bad memories with those 'trade wipes' be careful on all plastic's and resins. They are not designed for degreasing before silicone sealing as they have Aloe Vera (to keep your hands moisten) and other rubbish that silicone wont stick to. Plain acetone (be careful with this one) or denatured alcohol works best. Do you think that those cement boards with gaps in between will help you with any moisture ? Last month I've redone 2 years old bathroom that was completely failed by cowboys , and between plywood and cement boards everything was covered with mould, I think it's just makes a pocket for moisture. For standard bathrooms we always using decoupling mats , it's completely waterproof ( if installed correctly) and isolates from small movements from subfloor. But anyway nice video, I wish there was more when I was learning the trade Cheers

Hi Matthew, thanks for the tips buddy. I'll check those out. To be honest I'm not a big fan of the decoupling mats. I feel more secure with the hardibacker board as its bedded down with adhesive and also screwed and I think it's more of a solid base for the tray, but I suppose it's just preference really. With the wipes, I'm really only using them to remove dust more than grease, then completely drying the area with blue roll. Keep well and keep busy mate. Kind regards, Rob

Hi there great video. Can I ask you a question please? If you surveyed a possible customers bathroom for a tray, how do you find out which way the joists are running etc? presuming the floor has tiles so no way of looking underneath. thank you .

Thanks so much for this video big help. If I was installing direct onto concrete floor I'm guessing it would have to go on a plinth? Is there anything in particular to look out for when installing a plinth.

Do they not have trays with lips as a part of them, rather than relying on silicone, which will shrink and crack?

Eagle eyes! I think you’re the first person to spot that. On this particular job I installed an Aqualisa Quartz ‘Off The Wall’ shower. It gets installed after the tiling and comes down from the loft space. 👍🏻

Hi Paul. The window wall is a solid wall. The other wall is on aqua board. There should be a link in the early part of this video that takes you to a ‘how to’ for that. Thanks

Is silicon enough round the edge as it ages and shrinks? Will it not leak eventually
@vistron888
@vistron888 8 ай бұрын
Silicone won't shrink. In any case, you also apply a bead of silicone after the tiling is done. This is just insurance.
