COMPLETE BATHROOM REFURB from start to finish including REMOVAL,TILING & REFIT Video

Complete from start to finish insight into a bathroom refurbishment i have just completed.
From ripping it out and skipping it all the way to the end when its all finished

[@Davey656]

As someone who does all my own DIY/house renovation (because I have serious trust issues due to rouge traders and bad work having been done for me in the past), I really appreciate the quality presented in your videos. I'm currently planning out the renovation of a similar sized bathroom and project and have found this really helpful. Keep up the good work and good quality standards!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate…. It’s comments like this that really mean a lot… Thankyou🙏🏼

[@user-te1le7ck6b]

Good honest fitting and care shown something most London builders lack. Like the tip about siliconing before tiling and then again after tiling.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate.... Yer I always silicone it when it goes in and then again after it’s tiled... just something I’ve always done 👍🏼👍🏼

[@roythunderplump]

Thanks for showing the demo job of taking off tiles and plasterboard. Doing this as homeowner to reduce bathroom refit cost. Finished work is A Plus.

Really enjoying these videos mate, just found your channel tonight and binge watched your whole channel ha. I’ve been a service and repair engineer for BG for the last 10 years and planning to go self employed this year. These vids give a good insight to what life’s like on the outside. Keep up the good work!

One thing my mentor taught me was to fill the bath up with water to the top then add a bit more silicon

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep, thats right and I do this.... just didn’t video it. (Lots of people asking the same question) Also if baths are fitted correctly they won’t drop.

[@kelleydaniels9498]

Good job. Looks great. That's a pretty sweet toilet and lav setup. Wish we had a product like that where I live. I also like the shower valve. Looks much easier to install than what I'm used to.

Excellent job! Your videos are so educational, I love them, I noticed in another of your videos you used moisture board for a shower cubicle, but here it looked like normal boards you put up, is it not necessary to use moisture board for a bath shower? I ask because I about to redo my bathroom (DIY attempt) so would be good to know if I need to do the same, or can I just get away with tiles? Cheers.

You should try using baby wipes to clear up waste silicone, cheaper on the wallet and saves the big wipes for when you really need them. Great vids 👍

[@jonwillock3594]

Looks great, nice colours! Heard you mention moisture boards on another bathroom video, were those moisture boards under the tiles on this one, and if not, why?..... is it ok to tile straight onto boards.... sorry for questions...

[@nikosathanasopoulos2617]

Nice video mate. What wood boards do you use for walls and floors? Thanks!

[@Wattswood]

Great Video! many thanks. Can I ask you a question re the bath? As a carpenter/handyman i am often asked to re-silicone around a bath with a shower over. Many of the baths I try to seal have a great deal of flex around the edges even when the bath legs/feet are adjusted tightly / correctly. They pull away from the tiles and inevitably leak around the wall. (most are not sealed before tiling like you did) Perhaps they are cheap bath units and the better baths don't flex? Do you ever consider putting a wooden frame around the three supported edges or additional support under the outside ends to give additional support? Cheers!

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

First off thanks for watching. Great question.... and yes I do put a wooden frame on some baths that don’t come with very good fixings, a lot do and if fitted correctly the bath won’t move. But some come with rubbish fixings if any, I will then put a frame under the lip exactly how you have discribed. I will video the next time I do one.... as a lot of people ask

[@gaz99968]

[@samprior9127]

Was any tanking membrane of any sort used? Not straight on to plasterboard surely !?

[@hrve]

Another great video Mark! Lovin' the "Top Tips" too. Was the tiling straight onto the new board or did you skim it first? Thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate..... Tiled onto the boards. You gotta love a top tip now and again

[@xsajx]

Great video - do you know what the tiler used to fill in the cracks / holes before tiling? Assuming it was tile adhesive. Thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Tile adhesive I would think (I wasn’t there at that point)

[@aljroche]

This is a great little install vid. Similar to what I’m thinking of doing when I move the bathroom but mirror image. Was that a regular size bath though? I have to go for a 1500mm bath. Need to tape it all out on the floor first to see if it’s feasible.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks buddy, glad you liked it... This was a standard 1700x700 P shaped bath. Yer mark it all out first to make sure it works

[@chrise202]

Loved the part where you insulated the wall before tiling. That wooden floor underneath the bath also is such a good idea. Whats a decoupling membrane anyway? Also nice sockets for the trimmers love them. For UK this is actually a very good job.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks

[@GasmanChris5705]

Top job that mate 👍

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate

[@robjonson629]

Very helpful video thank you especially good for us down here in Cornwall where they want 15 grand and a week for fitting a two grand chipboard bathroom. I will quit my IT job for two days and smash out myself like I did with my kitchen. I am curious to know why you didn’t fit flooring under the toilet though ? - because it’s usually messy trying to cut flooring around the toilet that is already fitted.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

The customer was getting someone in to fit a limo floor…. Think I mentioned it in the video

[@peterfido8735]

Is it ok to tile before fitting a bath and if so do you just silicone around the bath or will you need some kind of trim to bridge between the tiles and the round edge of the bath. (Hope that makes sense .

[@Ed-fp9rx]

good job

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks buddy

[@andytaylor9032]

You didn’t use hardie backer or similar to reboard?

[@KevinNoden]

What do you seal around the bath with before tiling? Great video, very informative.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate.. I fit the bath and completely seal around it with silicone, then it’s tiled onto.... then I seal again. Bath is fixed solid and water tight.

[@KevinNoden]

@@MJTiffPlumbing great, thank you.

[@charlieliles9067]

What filler is being used on the walls? Thanks

[@nicolabenassi9979]

Hey there, loving the vid. What panels did you use on the walls when you ripped them down before retiling?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks mate….. as shown in the video, Boarded and tiled

[@worrun1505]

12:14 I much, much prefer those backing plates than the swan neck ones!

[@leecrawford8039]

Good install but you should always fill bath to top with water before siliconing to simulate the weight of a person it so it gets a good seal otherwise when you stand in the bath to have shower etc the bodyweight will drop the bath a few mm meaning water will get under the seal causing water damage and leak

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks for watching the video. That’s exactly right Lee..... that’s why I did that as already addressed in another comment. I always seal up first as per the video.... then fill the bath and seal again, making it a proper job. Also if the bath is dry fitted correctly and securely it won’t drop anyway.

[@tigeywigey7926]

These videos are brilliant. Im currently renovating my bathroom and taking so much vital information from you. When you came to the pipework for the radiator, how do you debur the pipe without having to drain the heating system? Or do you just drain it enough so there is no pressure in the upstairs radiators? Im rerouting the pipework so the radiator is on a different wall and I'm at this point now. Not entirely sure what the best approach is.

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

If your not sure then drain it all down buddy

[@Russh88]

Hello, great video, is there a pro or a con to tiling the floor first and putting the sink and toilet unit over the top of the tiles?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Always better to do the floor first if possible

[@dab-ox5dg]

Looks like you've moved the pipes/taps/shower outlet to opposite end, is that right?... It would've been good if you'd included video of all those adjustments

[@DSS-Renzokuken]

Do you tile straight onto plasterboard?

[@GPM80]

Excellent work mate. Can i please ask what the tiler used to fill and level the dodgy walls where it was crumbling away. Have a few areas in my walls that need the same attention so any advice would be brilliant.....cheers in advance

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Thanks buddy….. I guess he would of used adhesive buddy

[@gcseaqasciencetutor]

What did you use to fill the gaps in the wall

[@skandaa]

Looks amazing, how much roughly would a bathroom like that cost? I'm curious as its almost identical to my bathroom and when it comes to building work, cost of the work vary so much.

[@Jammydodgers41]

Very nice. Definitely taking your tip of batterning out the cistern. Was the boards tanked? Or isn't that necessary?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

SO many people don’t batten the cisterns then wonder why the flush pipe pops out and floods the bathroom when it fills up...... Not tanked, boarded and tiled. When your tiler knows what he’s doing and does it right it’s completely sealed.

[@pianoman2135]

Hi great job 👏 Can you tell me where you got the toilet with counter stop basin set please? This is something I’m also looking for but most combination set do not come with countertop basin, thanks

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Yep

[@rickywanless2239]

Hey, great vid guys. Couple of questions, do you ever use green moister resistant plaster board or does it not really matter? Also roughly what would the cost of this be?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Hey Mate Yes i do use moisture boards aswell....as for the price it depends on so many different things from what suite to the state of the floor and walls.... anything from £4k to £10k is possible depending

[@elliottpalmer1342]

Just a curiously question, why have you not used moisture plaster board, for the bath and shower wall?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

It was very well tiled after and its how I've done it many times before for nearly 30years with zero issues. The next bathroom install video is using moisture boards

[@emrankhanlearnwithme4474]

Hi Mark, Is that shower electrical or feeds from the combi boiler?

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

[@kencarr7704]

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

We all do what we know works for us….👍🏼 I’ve used classiseal before and don’t rate it……

[@kencarr7704]

@MJTiffPlumbing the way you sealed the bath is with two seals .one around the bath and the other when the tiles are fitted.with a classi seal you get more seals.firstly you get the classi seal it's self.then you seal the back of the classi seal .and then you seal the front.then when it's tiled you seal it again.

How does it work if your tiling the floor, would you do this prior to fitting the bath, Offer the bath in so you know how far to take your tiling, remove bath tile floor then put bath back in to be adjusted/leveled and fixed Also if tiling the floor at what stage are you fitting the basin/wc

[@MJTiffPlumbing]

Fit the bath before as the tiles just poke inside the area of the bath then the panel goes on. Toilet and basin go in when the floor is down
