I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

What do you do about backflow prevention on the shower hose? Only way I was able to do it on level access showers was a chrome school board clip, or in some instances a shorter hose.

Adjust and fix the soap dish so the head doesn’t go below spill over
 
Working on 2 ensuite bathrooms on this period cottage drainage is proving a challenge alot of alterations to do and new pipe runs to install alot through triple joists ☹️. Kop

Just had three days converting gravity hot to unvented in a bungalow, plus re routing all pipes in roof space ready for a loft conversion next year.
Had to move feed and expansion for heating and get it all up and running today. Left at 8.00 tonight.
50 minutes later, text message, water bubbling up through kitchen floor.
The only section of hot pipe in the concrete floor runs from under the bath and across kitchen floor to sink, and it's gone pop.

Only thing I could do tonight was turn off hot water.

But now have to fit in pulling up a real wooden floor and digging out concrete to fix the leak.

Not like I'm busy or anything. Ffs.
