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

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
@scottspeig Ай бұрын
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.

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.

Interesting to see how things are done in the U.K. Over here in the U.S, toilets and plumbing in general is entirely different. Most of our toilets are what we call a 2 piece design, which is similar to what you guys call close coupled. However, we also have one piece designs where the cistern (which we just call a tank) is a part of the bowl itself, which makes it easier to clean, but they’ve been criticized for being hard to install and repair. Also, a key difference is that the toilets here are usually bolted directly to a floor drain. The pull of the water downward through this drain is actually what pulls waste out, instead of flushing with a pushing force like these. I’ve heard arguments for both systems, but I hear that the U.K. system uses less water and is almost impossible to block. Also, we rarely ever use in-wall tanks in the U.S.A for repairability reasons, but they’re becoming more popular in luxury homes. However, we do have toilets in commercial buildings that don’t use a tank at all, instead relying on the water pressure of the building to flush, and sometimes using a sensor to flush when you walk away. These are, in my opinion, a step above the “Wave hand over sensor to flush” system I found in the U.K. on in-wall tanks: my only problem is that I’ve had them randomly flush while using them. These are usually extremely powerful compared to the tank toilets here, but that’s needed, because as I said, our system has the potential to block easier.

Reminds me of the time being called out to fix a loo many years ago, was pouring out the overflow as something had snapped in the cystern, I can't remember what. What I do remember though is the tank being filled with "Bloo" for years everything was this powerful dark blue. There was no lower drain, the fill was from the top and so to empty it (after flushing it to remove as much water as possible) the rest had to be sponged out, no gloves, yay blue hands for a week. Then to add insult to injury, was a wierd shaped tank with wierd fittings jeez, a nightmare. Thought it would be the usual easy fix but no, several hours later and blue hands I did at least sort it.

This is why I don’t do my own plumbing. I can watch someone do it and think “I could do that” but then this happens and I’d be screwed.😂😂

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. :-)

It is amazing how hard the make a toilet job in Europe. I have never seen any plumber in Canada screw he reservoir to the wall. Our toilets sit on the floor, get srewed down to the discharge pipe ring which accomodates two bolts and easy peasy, you're done.

Curious when you run into situations like this what usually happens with the pricing? Is plumber obligated to honor original estimate or do they up charge for encountering unknown variables?

Depends if you’re on a price or an hourly rate for the job. As this was for my friends it was all free! 😂😂😂

Nice one jimmy - really acknowledge your honesty on the screw up though I did find it funny in seeing you getting someone to help you until you got the supply cut off. Missing the "Ale Army". How is the engine going for the aeroplane? Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Love to Ems
