How to renovate a bathroom with narration and tips

How to renovate a bathroom with narration and tips
This video shows a full renovation of a bathroom where we stripped out the old suite, tiles and plasterboard. We the installed new plasterboard / moisture board, new suite with shower, new tiles and radiator as well as painting the ceiling and door. I have provided some narration aswell as tips and hints that will be helpful for anyone taking on a bathroom refit themselves.

Good to see proper tradesmen at work so many cowboys out there these days. Great job....superb.

[@reggiedixon2]

On initially seeing the original bathroom I thought "it's not bad, just dated" then about 10 seconds later you said pretty much the same thing. I like a channel that reads my mind.

[@trueblue4172]

The bathroom looks absolutely beautiful. Great work and some good tips

[@geoffdundee]

a tip when drilling holes in tile or wall as your jobs nearing completion is to tape an opened envelope (or bag) directly under where youre drilling to catch any dust....saves tidying up after.

[@shelleyshell1150]

Wow. Just Wow 🤩🤩🤩! What beautiful work. I know you are extremely talented with your skills and I commend you on that, but I also have to take the time to acknowledge how your customers make great choices for their decor, color choices, and materials! That bathroom is fabulous!!!!

[@davehedgehog4391]

Like these full length videos. Great work.

[@Lord-Brett-Sinclair]

Nice work, like your attention to detail. I prefer half tiled, it make the room feel a bit warmer .

[@darrenthebuilder]

Yes I agree

[@jmk1962]

Me too but I guess it was the clients choice.

[@ExtremeShez]

Does the bathroom become more water tight if fully tiled?

[@andybrace4983]

what a cracking job......10/10

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thankyou

[@themudhutt1]

BRILLIANT idea to go back and narrate in detail the job . If you are open to suggestions, please , go back to my favourite, way back when you built a matching conservatory onto an old house . Wonderful work as ever

[@Spencerlayne]

Man I got the DIY bug in lock down and did a lot of stuff to my house. And you really inspired me to tackle stuff my self my man. Man of many trades and an inspiration

[@postman445]

Great work

[@pamasingh7873]

This is an impressive upgrade.

[@RagingBlade1]

Nice job, as someone else said below, half tiled would look very nice too but really like your attitude towards how each trades works. You don't claim that your way is the right way, just what your preference is but open to ways other people follow/prefer. Keep up the good work and if you were in my area, I would be calling you for any work I needed to be done. Cheers and GOD BLESS,

[@bl3611]

Honestly you guy's should have you're own TV show. 👏 Can I ask what the cost of this bathroom was please ?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Labour about 3K customer supplied materials so I’m not sure

[@perceptortron]

The dark beading around the top looks great, a nice contrast. I wish youd shown how you cut those big tiles, angle grinder maybe? Again I learned so much from this, thanks. I wouldnt hesitate to hire your services

[@jmk1962]

Love these videos. Nice narration and music is nice and low and not annoying. I like that you give tips as you go along and it is a great way for prospective clients to see your quality of work.

[@lucindas2931]

I remember this one. It turned out quite lovely!

[@goldenineke]

I remember this bathroom!!

You did a great job again guys. Lots of handy tips as well.

Boss job Darren lad 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@shoaibabbas13]

I have been waiting for this ❤

[@meethree6305]

Greta finish. Excellent work 👍

[@Moe-ze2wl]

The cracks in the ceiling are due to the plasterboards not being staggered…..oh wait they were 😂 just a dig at a previous troll!

[@darrenthebuilder]

🤣🤣🤭 well there you have it and it’s a professional national house builder. Lol

[@SylhetBAULA]

How would you have filled the gap with the tiles if you didn't want beading and no extra layer of plaster board

[@darrenthebuilder]

I would have stated the bottom with half a tile the the top row slight bigger than half a tile but there rather have full tiles

[@tonypeirson6282]

Brilliant content. Subscribed. Just a quick question. I thought towel radiator were fewer rails at the top, more at the bottom? Is this towel radiator on upside down? Or doesn’t it matter?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Thankyou Tbh I don’t think it matters. I can’t see why.

[@tonypeirson6282]

@@darrenthebuilder Yeah agreed. Thanks for getting back to me.

[@georgeturner6648]

What do you use on the floor sub base before tiling? Are you happy with the load carrying capacity of plasterboard with large format tiles? What tanking system do you use?

[@saulgoodman7495]

what size tile spacers did you use and how much for this renovation?

[@darrenthebuilder]

I think they were 2mm labour 3k

[@kayman1396]

Is the plastic decoupling rubber sheet not needed under the floor tiles?

[@abbas123456]

Can I ask why the grout lines are visible on the floor tiles but not the wall tiles?

[@halstirrup]

Why you didn’t use a Decoupling Membrane

[@precisionlines985]

Great work brother,where you based ? I need some work doing pal

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi I’m based in South London

[@assalimu1]

What is a rough estimate of the cost ?

[@spencebespokedreams]

Where do you get your stair cover from to prevent damage?

[@Besties4ever-and-ever]

Great job however I feel the shower controls could of been moved opposite the door so you don’t get rained on when turning the shower on. 🙄 I’ve watched a lot of your videos you seem to be a man of many trades.

[@darrenthebuilder]

Ah that debate lol. Yeah I’ve seen people discuss Thais. I guess there’s benefits for different ways. One benefit of this though is you won’t bump your side onto the controls when showering or entering

[@sherbryan7294]

What’s the cost please? I’m looking to do something similar.

[@darrenthebuilder]

About 3k labour

[@silkyskillspj]

Hi Darren, could I ask what area you're from?

[@darrenthebuilder]

Hi I’m based in South west London
