Hi I have a question regarding my mixer tap for my basin. The grub screw is completely worn away and I can’t seem to remove the top part of the mixer to change the filter. Could you suggest anything or how I could remove the screw. thanks

[@lw2411]

Hang on a minute. Did I just see someone cutting a hardy backer with a huge plastic box glove on? 😂 that is ingenious!!

[@Marlaw101]

Exactly my thoughts too!

[@1_Banana]

I’m doing level 1 plumbing diploma in college and love it, it’s way better than my multi skill course & bricklaying course Ive done

[@theforkieman]

Great video. Even the simplest thing can help someone out there. Looking great by the way. Good job

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Lee! See you on the Ale Army one day? 😉😉

[@andathenasaid]

I’m so glad I found your channel before renovating my bathrooms. Wall-hung toilets aren’t common in the US. You have some invaluable tips. Loved your recessed shower valve install video also, super great. Thanks for taking the time to share your expertise

[@christopliss9947]

Great watching you work James, you always show true pride in your jobs 👍

[@LawrenceSingha]

Excellent craftsmanship, beautiful done with high quality standards 👍🏼

[@RKC3.14]

Many thanks for these videos - amazing help :) I’m replacing my bathroom and need to do some boxing in around the wall mounted loo and bath. What size timber is good for that? Also why did you choose tile backer rather than abacus board? Thanks - rich

It's so nice when someone considers access.

[@plumberparts]

We've all been on the wrong end of it!

[@kat7777]

Access to the rear.... Yeah 🤣

[@Tom_Plumb_PHS]

Yep when the next guy is guaranteed to be you access is all important 😉

[@garyredfern2542]

Look amazing mate. I said before I really love the Ox tiling system. 👍👍

[@gmeadowcroft84]

Cracking video mate really enjoyed it and amazing workmanship…. You can now be the king and sit on your throne

[@happymadison1978]

Probably missed the boat on this and you've already figured it out. To get the piece out of core drills I have had some success driving a screw into the piece with an impact driver, as it bites it pushes the piece outwards. Great video as always!

[@marypb6913]

Thank you. When taking the access cover off، would you also have to take off the top cover.

[@user_i.d]

That dust extractor os bloody amazing

[@TheMrSafeTheFirst]

Another fine, entertaining and extremely informative video!! Thank you!!

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Matt!

[@stevem7250]

Ur such a gd teacher and filled me with that much confidence I ain't even doing the plumbing course I'm just going for it lol

[@davem3833]

Love the paper trick seperating the grout 👌🏻

[@kintusimeon6350]

I love your experience and i would love to work under your management

[@garethwatson7999]

Great video, about to start an renovate our WC and put a concealed toilet in there so I found this invaluable mate. Also people that complain about reasonable quotes are getting more and more cheeky because they think they can fit a kitchen or bathroom after watching KZbin, until they actually try and fit one and come up against things like the bits you covered in this video. Amount of jobs (property maintenance) I’ve taken on in the past where folks have given up half way through doing there own bathroom or kitchen because ‘nothing fits’ or ‘supplies aren’t right’ and ‘fittings are wrong’ etc etc moral is, sometimes it’s best to leave certain jobs to the guys who do these jobs day in, day out that can get the perfect finish you’re looking for, that’s what you pay for.

[@TopReasons]

Really works well. Should have bought one sooner.

[@AaronM4275]

Great video as always. I think your easily the most entertaining plumber on KZbin 👍

[@plumberparts]

Why thankyou!

[@MrWarren96]

What magnets do you use? Just about to put a toilet in my house that’s being renovated

[@danielarhire1770]

Great idea but my personal choice for frame are well established geberit or grohe. No connection to maintain externally and all maintenance trough the big flush button plate. In long term that concealed cistern is asking for trouble.

[@oakey67]

Same here mate, I’d say this series is aimed for diy’ers not in a million years would I use hardie backer. Shluter or jackoboard are my go to also cement board isn’t waterproof.

[@310579stewart]

Excellent work, been looking for a good guide for this process for a while.

[@chazshier]

Great video. Why, at the start, did you make the ply template then transfer to your other material? Could that whole back not have just been ply and tile onto the ply?

[@plumberparts]

[@samb2984]

Hi, where are the magnet strips from? Struggling to find in your Amazon buy list?

[@deckingking]

Hey James, great video, where did you get the magnets from ?

[@Jackzuk]

Did you defo use 15mm? I can only find 6 or 12mm…. I want to use wedi board but am worried its not strong enough for a wall hung toilet.

[@Михаиллеви]

Just did a cistern replacement and did not use any silicone on toilet bowl grommet as thought shouldn't need to and yes it has a small slow drip between grommet and porcelain....so off it all has to come to add some silicone! 😀

[@Dhinsa90]

been waiting for this one! nice one mate looks proper decent, will be stealing the idea for mine :)

[@jimusjones1]

Great video thanks bud. Can I ask what you use to cut the excess tiles off after they had been stuck? Does it leave a good finish?

[@snowman-ov2vc]

Hi ...your videos are too good ...I bought a newly built apartment which has concealed style toilets and wash basins....I desperately need to install a bidet on to the toilet but couldn't figure it out how to do that..I am pretty sure you would know how to do it or atleast some idea if it could be installed without too much of work...everything is possible for sure :D

[@MrDbone75]

Good Saturday afternoon to you sir and your family

[@samuelverrinder7138]

You mentioned about removing the hardie backer from the drill bit. Not sure if it will help you. But if you use m14 tile core drill bits and attach them on the angle grinder, it drills the tile faster and better than a drill plus you can remove the core drill from the grinder and use a screwdriver to poke the debris out.

[@joebrudenell9490]

Are you coming to installer this year Jimmy baby? Another great video 🤛🏼

[@jonlawrence5836]

Subscribed for this install! Was banging! Neat tidy and looks the part 👌 if you want a fall arrest in the panel. Let the tiles at the top hang over 5mm and router out the bottom of the sill pop in 2 dowels 😁👍

[@IanDavies]

Nice video 👍🏼 What tile adhesive do you use? Got a bathroom to do myself soon and need all the help I can get as I'm a plasterer by trade 😬

[@davezeraschi7936]

I was going to ask you on ale army but do you need electrics for that infrared flush?

[@chrisgunn121]

No Dave, Jimmy just gets his magic wand out of his pants and waves it in front of the button

[@laurenceoddy1777]

Bidet is definitely the way to go, it's much cleaner. If someone wiped poo on your face would you be happy to just wipe it off with toilet paper.. I don't think so.. Love the videos. Always a great watch 👍

[@plumberparts]

Yeah man I’m a convert!

[@markrainford1219]

You got some weird friends.

[@faizmiah2363]

Thats why us Muslims been using water for ages!!

[@kingofthetrowel1725]

Nice one james love it mate 👍👍

[@russelljones8632]

Another top video James. What size tile spacers did you use? 2mm or 3mm?

[@darrenmackenzie1892]

Hi James, again great work! I've got a bidet that is my small jack Russell dog lol Just as clean as a bidet and no fuss for installation. Lol

[@jamestaylor1524]

Love it

[@ashvanbro9329]

Amazing video my good friend James

[@doctorlove2022]

in total how much did you spend on CT1 ... must of been 100s ????

[@zekkez]

What did you use for the top half of the cover? MDF?

[@dazzyd1964]

What about using very strong double sided tape for the upper piece of metal trim?

[@magic2673]

Link to your bidet toilet please.

[@danearp]

Cracking video as always!

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Lovely job lad

[@christopliss9947]

Cannot beat a 'Splurge' 😊

[@user-yh7bk7dx7c]

Where do you buy the frame from separate from everything else ?

[@peter-gn8ey]

very nice work. looks great.

[@kotgc7987]

Washlets FTW, much more hygienic, easier and no TP needed. Is there a limit to how close the toilet outlet drain/pipe can be to the wall, to maximise space in the bathroom by setting the wall frame closer in?

[@sportkarate5522]

هناك مفك او براغي مغناطيسي يفتح مسمير حديد مدفونه هل تستطيع اعطاء فديوهات بذلك

Love your dust collector, amazing bit of kit. Get yourself on Dragons Den 😂

[@MarcusT86]

Fantastic video buddy

[@martinstevenson7462]

Nice job you have done on your bathroom

[@user.--.]

Yeah I remember the short for the plastic hoover invention, and a certain self-righteous picklehaube......🤣🤣

[@plumberparts]

JA! Join the AA when you get a sec mateeee!

[@dialog245]

The lid could have a length of 25mm square wood attached vertically to the underside that engages into a wooden restraining loop (socket) on the back of the haribacker so that the board couldn't fall forward without the lid being lifted first. Hope that makes sense....like a peg in a hole sort of thing.

[@jmitchellbelderson]

Yeah or route the L shape of the two boards and it could slot on top and hold it all in place maybe?

[@cainclay1193]

Looking good!....do you think you’ll have the bathroom done this year?🤣

[@haroon420]

I’ve done three loos with no access. Got one more left and will make sure it’s got access!!

[@jaffplumbs26]

🤣🤣 I love your videos mate

[@Fishbait075]

How about a sliver of aluminium/silver tape run on the inside of the access panel where you have run the edging. I'm thinking if you trim it right, it will "fall" into the gap between the top and bottom part, and might visually distract more from the gap, so its alittle less obvious?

[@dimitar4y]

make a hole in your coring bit, on the side or the back, so you can poke a screwdriver through to tap the center bit out. Or buy a brand that sells them with the hole on there already.

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

Can you explain how this bidet works?

[@emrankhanlearnwithme4474]

Can you explain how you use your bidaai? In respects to saving toilet tissue.. I’v never wiped with dry tissue in my life, always used water and wet tissue.

[@emrankhanlearnwithme4474]

And oh yeah hold tight!

[@ukpm]

Great video 👍 from my armchair, it seems obvious that you could have used the lid to make sure the panel doesn't fall forward.

[@dimitar4y]

your new "intro" was 3 times longer asking me to share/sub/like/comment than the actual website url, lel.

[@fireblaster9961]

Dude ct1 everything

[@MadDog_Rules]

Am building a hidden flush system also and searched on YT for videos. I remember watching a few clips of yours before but couldn't remember your name. Must remember to subscribe to channels i like :-) Can i just ask, even though this clip is from January, the tile edging you used and cut into three pieces, would a magnetic strip work instead? I prefer the idea of having a tile edging with no cuts in it, yes i know that's a bit anal of me.

[@Autonomous1969]

I have a concealed toilet. I'm trying to change the ball valve and all the nuts are rusted. That in itself is not a problem. The problem is getting access to all the nuts.

[@dimitar4y]

you think like a real engineer: You always think in terms of "What happens when this fails" like the little fall arrestor string.

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

True

[@daves4026]

Awesome

[@tinker-time]

Forget the loo, sort that number plate on your van out 🤣

[@dimitar4y]

you could've put tape on the side tiles so the glue doesn't glue to the tiles but to the tape instead. Paper tape.

[@bennyking572]

Please sort out the reg plate on the van 😂

[@plumberparts]

My old man wacked a screw in it yesterday!

[@liamcowley8679]

[@paullefur6213]

Blur your reg plate dude, just saying as there are scumbags out there, say no more. Being an ex petrol station manager you don't the FEDS knocking at your door cause some shit has cloned your plate and nicked a load of fuel........you have helped me with plumbing tips I return the favour blur your reg in your vlogs.

[@antoniogalluccio4213]

I didn't get how the bidet works

[@ranat5526]

Never really understood why westerners walk around with a s####ty backside!!

[@lainaanial]

Keku clips.

[@chrisb4009]

I don’t really get why you’d use a concealed cistern but then build that random box out. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@hotchill11]

We now know your a tiler 🤣

[@plumberparts]

Honestly I hate tiling! Back buttering's the way though!

[@UberAlphaSirus]

Talking about plumbers being pricey. If it takes 'em over 3 years on day rate, then maybe ask about it :D. Deffo getting the ox tile stuff when I do our bathroom, only been here 4 years, if your Emily suffered that long it's only fair my missus does too. BTW very nice botty (no gay) ;p

[@adelynjune5718]

🙃 P-R-O-M-O-S-M!!!

pfft alum channel? You could've used the plastic trim!

[@plumberparts]

Originally was going to but none of the local suppliers had it!

[@dimitar4y]

@@plumberparts oh god oh man that shit again. I swear the local shopkeepers keep tabs on what you need and intentionally hide the stock so you always need to delay every job

[@markpdouglas]

Sorry. Did you say that your client couldn't get through Christmas without a bidet?! Talk about first world problems. Most people get through their entire life without one!

[@plumberparts]

Nah it’s my gaff. Had loads of family around and only 1 toilet…in our en-suite currently work. I was under mounting political pressure from ze wife to put a temp poo hole in for the family proles.
