Further proof there's no such thing as a 5 minute job. Excellent recovery James!!!

[@wilsjane]

As the engineer of a major London theatre, we had around 50 toilets. If one of them broke or developed a problem, we had 15 minutes to replace it between performances. The spare was already assembled in the workshop and the plumbing was in a duct behind. Simply turn the water off, undo the cap and lining in the duct, unscrew the pan, pull the old one out, replace with the spare, refix the pan, reconnect the water. Job done. All the screws were either brass or stainless, so their was no corrosion to worry about and being close coupled, we did not fix the cistern to the wall. We also had a cutout of damp proof felt, to avoid the need for sealing We could also replace just the cistern if the pan was fine. The old unit was then taken back to the workshop and refurbished for next time. With 2 guys working together. I have seen the replacement completed in less than 5 minutes. In public buildings, it was just the normal way of life. Needless to say, I hate domestic work. Replacing a toilet for a friend took me the best part of a day. LOL

Great Video and Well Done for showing what can happen to all us pros. Being an "Old School" In the bad old days we fitted those S type pans through the floor and upturned the pan and filled it with mortar with a hardboard cover, turned it over again and laid it in position then slid off the hardboard. Left the job overnight and it was set to the floor in the morning. Post Fix would have done us proud. How many guys have struggled to remove those. Cheers Buddy

[@beexpressplumbing]

Oh wow I've always wondered how that worked. I hate trying to remove those toilets. And I come across so many where the hardboard wasn't removed but left in position for 30 odd yrs

[@rickhoyle671]

OMG. I really felt the pain of that. Couple of things from my years of suffering in this trade: Always put those cistern bolts on first as the flush and fill valves sometimes obscure the holes. Also, i always keep a couple of those brass compression burst pipe fittings on the van. They are about 10cm long and at least one end is a slip coupling. They can bridge quite a large removed section. That retailer you went to sells them item no. 85529.

[@sh3riff]

These are the best types of videos because anyone who does DIY knows not everything goes to plan. Knowing where the stopcock is located is number 1 priority 😂

[@jonstenSE]

Thanks for sharing this! Lucky you that you didn't do this in Sweden. Our plumbing standard does not allow hidden joints on mains water, e.g. no joints in the wall or concrete, you have to be able to inspect them. Normally , it should be pipe in pipe so you just replace the inner pipe without tearing up the floor. But if you are unlucky, you would have to redo the entire bathroom or lay new visible pipes all the way from some adjacent room where a pipe is accessible. But on the other hand, you are not allowed to drill in the bathroom floor to start with, everything is fixed with adhesive.

[@scottspeig]

Pretty sure you are not allowed those joints in the UK either, as they are meant to be accessible - Should be soldered joints. However, as it is refurbishment and it was plastic pipe, there may be some leeway in the regulations.

They keep making cisterns smaller and smaller to save water but the downside is your waste just ends up sitting in the waste pipe and doesn't properly flush away.

And saving water is a far higher priority

[@petemc5070]

Inspiring how you dealt with that so graciously when you must have been fuming about being set up in effect by the previous 'plumber'. One thing I wondered about was the effectiveness of that very long and almost horizontal waste pipe. The one on my bathroom loo is not half as long or level as that and needs a kettle of water slinging in when I flush to empty the pan as the syphon action is weak.

[@vistron888]

Great you showed all the faults. My tuppence as a DIYer who has been plumbing for over three decades: - You will never know what lies beneath from previous work done by someone else, so always silicone. It actually grips much better (as you said). I place packers on both sides then run a bead of silicone in the gap. Pull the packers out and let it drop. - Have always used plumbing washers with the cistern mounting screws, not sure why manufacturers don't state this. - Good DIYers will usually do a better job than many tradesmen who, even if they know better, will rush a job to get to the next one. DIYers don't worry about the clock. - Having seen numerous TV shows (Property Ladder, DIY SOS etc) you see so called professionals doing all sorts of bodges. Seen pushfit fittings concreted in and all else! Calling a plumber is fine, but many don't know their arse from their elbow. Of course I don't mean you. :-)

That's not a valid comparison though. Had he sawed through a copper pipe assuming the water to be shut off, then flooded the place, that would be a comparison.

There are circumstances where the person doing the work should pay, but much of the time things like this could not have been foreseen or checked for.

You could easily have scrapped that video. Glad you put it out! Had a good laugh - nice to see it sorted quickly. 😊

That's a great video and a tidy fix up. I had a similar looking situation in an understair toilet replacement. I suspected the water main ran right under it as it had no screws or glue. Taking no chances, I used Evo sticks like sh**t turbo on it. It never moved.

Well I know what my nightmares will be for the next week 😂. We've had a few plumbing issues since moving and it's clear the previous owner bodged some things and just didn't do some things right. Having a reliable, professional plumber has been a life saver.
