[@TheDIYGuy1]

What series do you guys want next? Let’s go big?!

[@Megagamer12312]

how to fix a pipe if youve drilled through it

[@martin1377]

I would love to see a complete upgrade of my house. I reckon most people would enjoy that :p

[@JayGasEssex]

Loft extension or garage conversion would be quality!

[@IgnatiusZaaijman]

Would love to see the rest of the workshop build, but I'm sure you're busy with it?

[@dinosauraccounts1411]

Dorma or a full wrap around extension

[@teqnicalities7713]

Ive been binge watching loads of your videos! Quality content! I've bought a house with my girlfriend, which we will be moving into in the coming weeks, so will get to use these videos! I m an engineer by trade but i love learning new skills so anything hands on im all for!! Thanks again for the brilliant content!! Keep them up!!!

[@TheDIYGuy1]

That is awesome! Good luck I’m sure you’ll smash it

[@joseph36102]

Hello mate big watcher of your content great stuff you do classic request comment if you ever have scope can you do a tutorial on built in wall niche ? I’ve seen these go by various different terms but essentially putting a shelve / cover internally into a wall via plasterboard or the self made niche coves

[@Sandwichsings]

Awesome mini series!! At the end of part 2 you mentioned you'll tell us the cost of doing this ourselves vs hiring someone to do it. Did I miss this in the video somewhere?

[@chrisbowden5546]

The finished bathroom looks fantastic! And I would think Mrs. DIY and your family were thrilled with the results, and that's the most important thing.

[@Allan.clark26]

Cracking job mate. Couple of weeks pointers. The easy fix for the shower. The copper shouldn’t be popping out. It should be cut flush or slightly behind as the copper can stop the connections sitting flush and may cause a leak. The fixings for towel rad. I would have the screw that’s showing facing downwards. Gives it a cleaner look and sometimes can start discolour after time.

[@karthikeyannatarajan5897]

You are awesome, it's a pleasure to hear you talk and explain things in a way that keeps us listening all the way from start to finish - Thank you

[@cookiemonster2299]

Now that's a bathroom to be proud of 👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧

[@daviddaniels9217]

Very impressive workmanship and teaching. Thank you.

[@Jordan_0121]

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series!

[@kendom33]

Great work. Very interesting as I'm doing my bathroom right now! Some great tips too. Thank you

[@rutepinto7187]

I think you are amazing! Well done!

[@robinsongalaxie500]

Great content. I’m not trying to be a smart ass but when fitting taps to sinks the crescent shaped washer is designed to be used from the top - fed into the tap hole with the lock nut already loosely fitted to the stud. No more fiddling under the sink trying to start the nut. Adjust the crescent washer to clamp the tap correctly. Easy! Looking forward to your next videos.

[@TheDIYGuy1]

👍 cheers

[@Smithb83]

Hi Cam, great job as always and you are a natural at demonstrating. I call it a win for you, every room I do there is *always* one other thing to finish 😅 thanks for the video 👍🏻

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Hi, thanks a lot! Always good to leave a little something for a rainy day lol

[@j0e721]

You said in part two you would mention the cost of refurb getting someone else to do it vs doing it yourself. Could you tell me as I think you forgot to mention it! Thanks

You've done a cracking job mate you should be proud of doing all that in 10 days. Remember that 70% of the time goes on that final 10% :)

[@SophiaRose777]

Where do you lead off of the hot and cold pipes for the shower and bath? Is there a junction below the bath taps? Loving this series!

[@UnfittedNoise]

Nicely done and a lovely bathroom, nice work.

Excellent series Sir

[@conorwalsh9360]

The part for the tap can be pre assembled and put in through the top so you don't have to fiddle as much under the vanity

[@TheDIYGuy1]

👍 good point

[@conorwalsh9360]

@TheDIYGuy1 to be fair it's a lot easier to do when don't have a basin or pipework in the way :) can't wait for next project

Great video series. Do you not have to fill the bath again to fit the shower screen? Love your videos. Thanks for posting.

[@marysiausa4688]

Another perfect job! 👍

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks again!

[@johnadams1976]

Fantastic effort! When do you use locktite vs jointing compound???

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Jointing compound is for compression fittings mostly to lubricate the olive when tightening 😀. Loctite is for sealing threads

[@johnadams1976]

Cheers

[@djamelhamoud7785]

Great job, keep it up

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks, will do!

[@zaynhi]

I’ve subscribed the video

[@suemckenna7068]

Great series - thank you so much for explaining in an easy-to-understand manner. Not doing mine myself but has helped me to appreciate what goes into each step and, most importantly, what the order of work should be. Btw, should a plumber be able to carry out all processes or will I need to get an electrician, and carpenter/tiler (planning to use showerboards) too? Many thanks again, subscribed and recommended to friends and relatives x

[@Ste2023]

Cracking Job ..so neat and thoughtful workmanship 10/10 all round .🎉 Learn alot from your vidoes . I like that , compact drill . is that a combi drill . Not sure to go for 12v or 18v but dont want a big heavy ting

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Top Job. Thank you

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thank you too!

[@T90337]

Looks great, what is you main trade, because if it’s not as a plumber/bathroom fitter, you’ve done a great job.

[@JR-1983]

Top job, great vid

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks 👍

[@grndouwn7338]

doing all that in 10 days on your own is amzing

[@jamesd755]

I've just had my bathroom dot dabbed and skimmed. When running 15mm copper shower mixer pipework in the wall, once the hot/cold pipes are clipped into the raggled sections, what's best to use to fill the raggles in and conceal the pipes? Plaster? Also, should the copper pipe be protectively taped, as I understand the copper can react to certain agents?

[@lesthiele4921]

Your bathroom make over turned out 110% perfectly, congratulations on a job extremely well done, why should you not seal the inside of the shower? Best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks, Silicone on the inside traps water in the frame which cannot escape anywhere and will mould over time

[@imranfarooq4928]

Great job as always. I don’t think you’ve done a video on plastering walls? Apologies if I’m wrong, be great to see how you do that, tools required etc 👍

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Thanks. I can do a little plastering but not good enough to teach you guys 😀

[@thefowlyetti2]

The floor in that bathroom bust be very high up now compared to the next room? how did you blend the difference in heights across the door area?

[@bennguyen1313]

With the popularity of cold-plunges, and considering a refrigerator outputs 32-40F (0-4C)... I'd love to remodel a bathroom, such that with a flip of a switch somewhere, 30-minutes later, ice-water will come out of the shower-head (2gallons/min for a few minutes)! Any thoughts if this is do-able , or is a shower's water flow too much for on-demand ice-cold? I'd also like to add heat lamps.. in the winter nothing like getting out of HOT shower, and having a nice warm towel and some heat to dry off!

[@Sienio48]

Would love to do it. But alone it would be difficult 😢

[@YautjaPt]

4:55 anyone can help me out, and explain why on the outside? thanks in advance.

[@jordy46682]

I have the same question!

[@aidangallacher9049]

You do It on outside it seals the enclosure up and allows for water to drain. If you did both inside and out the water snagnates and won't drain...go black and mouldy. If you done only inside the water would find it's way over time into the lip of the seal and then drain to the outside

[@richtea7868]

Will those brackets support the radiator? I am sure they will if you are using them but they look very small and its just one screw and plug?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

They will 😀

[@1910forever]

Bathrooms are so time consuming even if you know what you are doing. Thanks for the video

[@sprint955st]

2:04 wait…before you cut the pipe, you had installed the compression fitting WITH an olive….and when you cut the pipe, the compression fitting had been removed? How did you disassemble the compression fitting?

[@nihow06]

Hi why did you use loctite thread rather than ptfe tape?

[@prodical666]

Why is silicone only needed on the outside of the shower screen?

[@ZanDeeMan]

I wondered the same. I assume the logic is to allow water to drain from behind the fixture into the tub. However, I see this an eventual point of failure. Water is extremely resilient at finding ways into everything. So if you don’t silicone the inside, water will certainly work behind it & eventually into the screw holes and into the wall. Personally I’d seal it all or do the opposite approach. Protecting the side exposed directly to water & moisture. Or just load the back of the metal w/ silicone, allowing squeeze out around all edges, then quickly cleaning up and refining the bead. I am interested to hear other’s opinions. Edit: I’m only speaking about the metal fixture supporting the glass, not the glass itself.

[@prodical666]

@@ZanDeeMan I recently re-siliconed my shower and I did indeed silicone the metal and the glass which meets the shower tray. Maybe I wasted some time but I certainly don't feel ive made a mistake which will lead to issues. Better to be overkill right?

[@ZanDeeMan]

@@prodical666 Exactly! I feel like he was actually talking about silicone the bottom of the glass to the tub in the video and it was an editing oversight. Because you definitely want to encapsulate that metal fixture in silicone. Basically anywhere that the "waterproof" membrane of the wall is punctured by fasteners. You also want to make sure you use high-grade silicone rated for bathrooms/showers. Overkill is my approach when it comes to anything structural or waterproofing. I over-build decks, stairs, and I try to add an extra layer or redudancy when patching a roof, installing a shower membrane, etc.

[@normiedeathsquad40]

It is to allow drainage, as someone has eluded to above. If you seal behind you have a chance of creating a 'reservoir' of stagnant water inside the shower screen fixture.

[@prodical666]

@@normiedeathsquad40 Ok so with that logic, I believe we should only silicone on the inside of the shower screen? The side the water hits. But he does say we should only silicone the outside... still a bit confused.

[@yannisb2178]

Shower screens are extremely fragile!! I once took off one and placed on concrete and it shattered into little pieces which fell on me. I guess I learned from experience

[@TheDIYGuy1]

It happens unfortunately

[@An.Individual]

Imagine maintaining the flush valve now it's all been sealed in

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Most parts can be accessed through the flush plate. Anything else shouldn’t need to be accessed.

why didnt you use ct1 its much better than silicone??

That cement board is so stark ,I hate tiles and grout but that's not attractive at all ,would it not have been better to just have around the shower area and use paint elsewhere.

[@aymansyed1351]

Why silicon on the outside of the bath screen and not on the inside too?

[@coachBux]

forgive my naivety ...what if you need to change the toilet seat?

[@JaaacKz]

you got away with the shower! the copper pipe shouldn't protrude the fitting. some showers wouldn't go onto that.

[@naebadyersel]

May i ask, when you said only scilicone the outside of the screen and never the inside, whys that?

[@TheDIYGuy1]

Silicone on the inside traps water in the frame which cannot escape anywhere and will mould over time

It's a bad idea to make holes in the floor!
