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

Yes you're probably right. A stainless one was considered, but at over double the price it seemed a lot extra. Considering that if there was excessive water down that end it'd be coming out the tray and into the room I was hoping it'd be OK, thrown in the fact good extraction, and it's a Zehnder not some cheap s***, fingers crossed

My personal preference would be next to basin, but as you say. What customer wants, customer gets. Especially with this customer too.
 
Got stuck in on this one chaps 4 days ripped the guts out of it , place was a bit of a tip😂 kept the tiles so they can be boarded over with splashback boards will be alot quicker the tiles are fixed securely and have been washed down with sugar soap to clean the crap off , Units are basically done sink is fitted and piped , gas hob is installed , oven housing only turned up today and I'm working on my own house Friday so clients will have to make to do till next week now 😉
Regards kop

I burnt the unit, didn’t have a compression elbow or a bracket to stand the expansion vessel upright

Got my tiling done today , plasterer came Friday so together we repaired the coving, bonded out the ceiling and wall to build out before skimming the whole area drying out nicely so all in all its coming together slowly, decorating hopefully middle of the week then the units need swapping over.

Getting to the end of this one, not helped by water leak on incoming water main so no water in the house. Makes grouting fun.
