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

Sorting out a leaky shower for a client this one was a very poor botched attempt and a big disappointment as they paid decent money , hopefully I can rescue it . Kop

&)’;&”/ plug moved and let go
Much mess Shaun ?? It Can happen I had a 42 mm hot go once in a hospital got the valve slid on and hand tight and ice plug went hit the valve like a bullet luckily it didn't come off but I got burnt and soaked tightening it 😜 kop
 
Luckily no shove my hand over the end managed to hold back 2 bar luckily I turned the boilers off the night before eg yesterday

And I always keep two speedfit cap in my pocket the same size as the pipe I’m cutting just incase so other than two carpet tiles and a ceiling tile staining nothing much
 
A few that's keeping me going.

But haven't been taking a lot of photos recently.

The two if the swimming pool pipework are repair jobs to do. Customer fitted a couple of taps to be able to take samples easier. They're p ing all over the floor though.
