I used to work for Roman showers fitting 6 to 8 of these every day, one of the easiest shower enclosures to fit in my opinion. We used to fit our profile strips 10 mm in from the outer edge of the shower trays, it gives a bit more wiggle room then to slot the screen into the profiles.

[@Mainactor80]

No way did you fit six to eight a day pal. That’s bollocks

[@dankydave]

How is it bollocks, have you worked there? Some people who worked there for a long time could fit 6 in 5 hours! We used to fit them all day every day in new builds, 1 every hourish is well doable! Ya man in the video is taking his time to show people how its done, once you get into the swing of fitting them your speed well picks up. Once your profiles are fixed to the wall, centralise the unit in the profiles, drill and screw 3 holes and screws either side, silicone up both sides, check the running of the doors, maybe a bit of adjustment and silicone grease on runners and it's done! Bath screens only take 25/ 30 mins to fit!

Bloody good video. The makers of different makes of shower enclosures should hire you for your excellent and friendly instruction skills.

[@jstubbs8016]

excellent guide as always , you never talk down to us peep's unlike some youtuber's and there's always humour , great stuff.

[@plumberparts]

Thanks mate!

[@kupukaimuseka4334]

Thanks dude, I'm fitting one soon and feeling more confident now. Hold tight

[@rudedude8794]

Love your channel youve taught me heaps, have a question about the 15mm gap on edge of tray for channels, what if you have tiled/boarded over lip of tray, would you subtract some thickness from the 15mm, and if you dont could that be why the doors/glass are difficult to fit in at the end?

[@alansmith9412]

great video as usual.i use some cheap rubber car mats from halfords to protect the tray and also use them when working in showers for any reason

[@Retrobution]

just having a shower fitting nightmare. took the day off to get the screen fitting (its the two door one.. soon as you said its more difficult my face just dropped slightly. i thought then. its ok. il be more patient. patience just dusted away the second i started making the frame and a screw rounded off inside.... cheap screws. trying not to scratch the chrome frame anywhere on the floor.. scratched the ceiling i painted only a few days ago carrying the frame in... such a twat! i been at this for an hour and a half just getting the frame screwed up and i got the dreaded news that the school pickup is on me. just dropped them off as well, so i stress out when i know its only a few hours to get it done! so yeah one tip id like to add, before screwing the frame up, screw the screws in the holes before adding the frame parts, if too tight, drill them out with a bit slightly the same size as the screw because the pack contains the exact amount of screws. no extra with mine. trying to hold the long frame side, with the arched frame.. getting the right angle to tightly screw the screws in is impossible with this kit i have. anyways.. onto drilling the frame to the wall now. urgh.

[@Retrobution]

just finished it. i hope to never do this again. if it was just for me id probably just go for a shower curtain lol. just that sheer panic that sets in trying to fit the glass in when its tight, as it said to fit the glass after fitting the frame. so, frame off.. slackened the screws. adjusted. fit nicely then. but like where do u put the glass safely etc.. then fitting the rollers on underneath trying not to nudge it so that the rollers on the top dont come off the rail... the bottom line is.. doing a bathroom takes bloody ages so unless you have a lot of time, its worth just getting someone in to do it XD

[@getbry7452]

Nice video Jimmy. Not securing one of the profiles is a good idea. I've come across a similar issue with a VP offset infinity cubicle. The instructions are a "best practice " but experience will often allow the installer to adapt these guidelines because the walls are not plumb level or there's some nuance with the bathroom finish or tray install. Have a good weekend

[@plumberparts]

Cheers Bry!

[@keithmcgrath9402]

Thanks for the tips man, yea i had that very problem last night fitting the rails on the wall, had to stop n sleep on it, arms were hanging, its so tight, was afraid the glass would go bang, that type of glass hates torsion stress

[@keithmcgrath9402]

@@plumberparts gday, update, it all worked out grand, i widened the horizontal screw holes alittle on the wall rails and tightened the screws just enough for the rails to slide left and right, and wha~la, the quadrant popped in,..sweet as a nut,. But there must be a better design for that problem, it doesn't make sense for it to be such a struggle,...anyways cheers, theres a pint with your name on it, here in Ireland ;) enjoy

[@tellylgeorge]

Another great video. Excellent advice on fitting only one upright first and then the second with the screen. I've done one recently using aqua panels and very happy with the end result. I find these videos very helpful. Thanks 👍

IVE BEEN WATCHING ROGER BISBYS “SKILL BUILDER” PLUMBING VIDEOS...HES BRILLIANT AND SHOWS HOW TO DO ALL KINDS OF PLUMBING JOBS!!!

[@grahamhale7390]

Hi James, thanks for the demo. I have fitted my whole bathroom watching your channel. I have come across the first thing I can’t workout. My screen instructions say silicone the whole tray in first and I see you have put silicone around the whole shower tray before fixing the screen which makes sense, but if I do that it will stop the wall bracket of the screen sitting tightly on the tray and against the wall. What am I missing here? Thanks Graham

[@CaptMdFaizurRahman]

Very Good, wonderful!! Well done!!! Thanks

[@ratchriat1716]

james the finish is great enjoyed the video.

[@SNIFFMYBADGER]

When attaching the uprights, is it okay to drill this on to shower panels? Should I get particularly long screws to go a bit deeper into the wall plaster for added strength?

[@ianrayner428]

Thanks for the vid. I presume you’d already siliconed between tray and walls before fixing the two vertical profiles?

[@grahamhale7390]

Funny enough I have just stumbled across this question, if you do do this how do you get the wall bracket for the screen to sit tight to the tray and the wall? Grahan

[@ChrisCowley1]

10:44 - "I would use their screws, but I'm gonna use the ones I've bought". I'm *totally* with you on that mate. I've been stung by using screws supplied with shower screens, toilets, baths, shelving units, etc. being made of metal with the consistency of soft cheese too many times. Always bin that rubbish and use decent screws.👍

[@paulreece7148]

I always find that when trying to manoeuvre the screen into position or the profiles I scratch the top surface of the lip of the tray. Now I put a towel over the lip whilst I get it into the profiles, once in I lift the screen slightly and pull out the towel. Doesn’t scratch at all. Great videos mate.

[@horosh777]

Well done, in detail! Thank you for the video

[@Gixer750pilot]

James , quick tip. Make sure you close those velux windows before you leave the house. If an unpredicted rain storm blows through whilst your out there could be a flood and a damp patch in the bed . Just saying 😁

[@plumberparts]

Git! 😂

[@koomber777]

Am literally going to be doing this in my bathroom in 2 weeks. Cracking timing.

[@plumberparts]

Haha! No worries dude!

[@koomber777]

Quality. Doing up the bathroom and yer videos have been a lifesaver. Well done for getting the shower finished off!

[@TheMxrrab]

QUESTION! Why do some people cement the shower tray into position as opposed to your method of glueing to the floor? Cement seems like a hell of a lot of hassle for essentially the same outcome?

[@MrJcollins95]

TheMxrrab I find it depends on what kind of tray you have and what kind of surface you are sticking it to

[@sarwanamajid]

Hi, how do you adjust shower enclosure. My shower comes with 20mm each side. Its an quadrant shower enclosure

Just wondering how did you managed to seal up the outside of the left hand profile with that wall nib there???

Just add silicone to the piece before you last it on the wall on the exterior side like he did in the video

[@stanleywhite1009]

I have an oval walk in shower I'm installing, however I can't seem to caulk to two bottom corners probably as the water flows out on the bottom what can I do to prevent this fro from happening, and the shower is fiberglass.

Any tips for the newbies plumbers out there who just started their career and want to learn more ?

[@mmack3286]

Hi James any chance you could do video for the self employed plumbers in how you go about pricing for jobs mark up % this would be great. Keep videos coming I've watched you since you started now I'm self employed to your fast quick learning ability through your channel. From Scotland hold tight!

[@MartiA1973]

You method makes much more sense. Trying to "pop" a quad' into two fixed edges NAH! Opened the box on one I have to fit and...the instructions and parts list is missing! Who knows what else! Also, I get the "my chosen screws'n'plugs" Why do manufacturers insist on packing cheapo screws / plugs - Even the dreaded DIY'er has a multi-tray these days

[@plumberparts]

Cheers bro! Couldn't agree more. Can't figure out why they still do it. Plus the instructions you haven't got are probably shit anyway!

[@julianawartemberg7227]

I have just had a quadrant shower installed and we have a leak between shower frame and shower tray. It appears that the frame is just sitting on the tray with a thin line of sealant. IS that normal practice or is it supposed to be glued/screwed / something else like between the wall and frame?

[@bobbobby5724]

Still the master , love you videos

[@liammillichamp]

Do you have to seal around the shower tray before you put the screen in ??

[@splitstrim]

Usually you seal screen around on shower tray depending on manufacturer instruction. Not always both side of the glass needs to be sealed. This is important point.

What drill bit did you use to drill the tile ????

[@neilfreeburn6926]

You could possibly use a masonry bit, just don't have your drill on hammer setting. and a bit of masking tape on your tile to stop it sliding at the start. That's what I've done anyway.

I find the screws that are supplied go straight from the packet to the bin ... Soft head screws are shite!
