Easy to order a Marshalltownntrowel but getting hold of some finish plaster....in my dreams. Bought a bag of lime and a couple of bags of sand so going to have a go on my garage wall this weekend.

Yes Mutley its levelling compound topps fast track stuff goes off quickly and leaves a hard clean surface to tile onto prime with sbr the old floor and before levelling, and again before tiling i couldn't build it up to much nearer to the doorway . Kop

It’s decent stuff but need to prime the floor first
use it to fit a range cooker where the cus didn’t have any more tiles went off like a rocket and hard

Three hours to fit an outside tap on a new build this morning, I had a nightmare!
Hardly any space between fittings and the shelf wouldn’t come out. Tightening up the isolation valve and the two soldered tees straight after the stop tap came apart. They were butted together and no solder inside either fitting! Just the lip of either tee.
Easiest £60 I ever made 😅

Ugh, I feel for you. I have been there many of times.
It should still be a set standard though mate. I want to know who signs this stuff off before the plasterboard goes up and is skimmed.
I agree but it seems nobody gives a monkey's.
Took a bath out of a new build to put a shower in, bloody thing fell out. Water stains on plasterboard under bath from it leaking. It was only 6 months old.
I see it all the time mate. My estate is a new build and there is loads of others by where I live.
Nothing as nice as that today KOP. Revisit a bathroom I did about 8 years ago to change the bath and basin taps.
The shower enclosure has never been used. Extremely low water pressure due to steel supply pipe, was going to be replaced a couple of months after I did the shower. They still haven't got round to doing it.

All in one worktop Mate?
Yes H it is all in one bud , It came from Victorian plumbing and for the cost it's hard to beat only gripe I had was the internal components of the hideaway cistern which were inferior quality in my opinion I swapped them for fluid master and changed the toilet flush cone, the shower doors were a pain to assemble and needed two of us it had to be done in the bathroom because of the size fitting instructions were next to useless but it got done mate 👍 .

how did you get on with them time wise ?
Good to be fair mate. First one took longer then the other 2 combined. (Like you said it would). Overall though. Not that bad. Thanks for the help.
I'm finding I'm always changing the guts on toilets before installing when customer supplies. Not worth the hassle of some of the tat you see when you open them up.
It's got to the point now where I just add money on when I do the estimate.
Nice job H good to see you back .
Nice H good to see you back bet they will be put to good use next week 😂😂

Thanks mate. Doing more now. But will not be doing as many hours as before lock down. I’m enjoying family time to much if I’m honest.
