Hi

[@eatsleepdrifgardenward4922]

Whereabouts are you are you in Lincon

[@getbry7452]

Bogs are the time bandits of plumbing. You could be there 10 minutes or 3 hours! Hold tight and stay safe

[@plumberparts]

Honestly I thought I’d be there an hour. Was probs 2!

[@elite_1820]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now, I’m a plumber apprentice and your videos really help mate, keep up the good work 👍

[@plumberparts]

Cheers bro!

[@adrianwhite3154]

I am not the only one to come across rounded screws etc. This is what makes a straightforward job a pain in ass!

[@totalsnooker]

Great video. Love the real world videos showing how jobs are not always that simple especially call outs. Good work

[@justablokepostingfunvids7137]

When I’m really stuck for parts or late at night emergency’s for a job like this and need to do the same for connecting two pan connections I put a small bit of 110 Mm waste pipework between them creates a wee bit better seal. But hey to each their own I’ve had lots of jobs with this exact situational reason at night trying to piece together can stock to get the toilet working nice vid 👍

[@Omar3551]

Your videos crack me up mate all the time.. good job

Great fix, I do plumbing bits but not a plumber but marine engineer. Fixed all sorts of thing at sea. Yes I have had cowboy do work for my elderly parent, that I had to sort out when I was home from sea. Since then I have done her plumbing like leaking washers ball cocks. Don't like the use of plastic in these systems preferring copper and brass fittings. I even repair brass ball cocks and things. Great videos and keep up the good work.

[@gedcollins9980]

I am no plumber but strict DIY’r absolutely love your vids cheers bud 👍

[@keitho77]

I feel your pain James. I have a leak from the closed couple seal to deal with. And you just know when you start to move things around, other leaks will start from all the other seals, washers etc.

[@tonypybus8003]

Great video - Really pleased to hear you are going to do a seminar on underfloor heating - looking forward to it . Love the way you used the short extension to get the toilet serviceable. At least it is serviceable!! Well done. In the Army it is Known as making it "battle Worthy". Song was epic - I just love the way you find the lyrics . Love the ale army sessions - great fun and highlight of my week - not just you and the subject matter but the friendly crew that get on it. See you Thursday - Hold Tight!!

[@HighWealder]

Just fixed my low level bog, leaking from flush pipe. Had replaced old laminate flooring with vinyl, slight height difference. Old house with floor about 5 degrees tilt. Packed out under front of toilet with pieces of plastic to level it as causing stress on flush pipe and then sealed cistern to flush pipe with LSX as poor joint.

[@nabisayed84]

Do you have any advise on how to connect to a cast iron soil pipe? I tried a normal finned extended and it seems the fins cant go all the way in ...i think i managed to push it 3 fins deep into the 110mm cast iron .. but it leaks abit because the profile inside the cast iron pipe is not a perfect circle because of the way it was cast i suppose... i wire brushed it and cleaned it and sanded it ..still no joy sadly.. your advice will be great great great help! Thank you! Legend as always

[@ccke-juicehardwarereviews8668]

Always support your valves with a set of grips when you have to put a spanner to them to shut them off...even more so when the previous plumber decided to do his install without the use of bloody clips!! 🤦🏻‍♂️ also just to add another little “top tip” when undoing chrome plates/top caps etc I use a wide rubber band to stretch around the edge and it works a treat m8!

[@davezeraschi7936]

I know you may have done mates rates on this job but would you charge per hour on a job like this or do you price the job? And if it takes 4 hrs that’s what it takes?

[@davidshears7524]

Fantastic vid this is exactly what happens on jobs the shit we have to deal with can't stand it when people say it's only its just thinking everything is just so straightforward lol but it's the job we love to hate lol

[@gslightingsoundsandvlogs2911]

So what your saying is you don't like using the compression type tap connectors cos of the fibre washer, youd rather use a flexi with a rubber seal? Just wondering. Great vid mate

[@kadzo1000]

Nice video James, I've been there..them rotten screws can cause so much lost time. Anyway where's that handy Bosch 5 in 1 drill, great for when numpty's put the sink vanity in after the toilet! ......they know who they are😡🤣

[@killerbean9911]

Hey James, great video as always! Did Stevie wonder install that bathroom?? 😂 Even though I'm only doing emergency work ATM I've had a lot of enquiries about outside hot taps (which I won't be doing yet). Obviously going straight on to the hot could be dangerous if a child turned it on etc. So is a TMV the way to go? Fancy doing us a little video on this? Thanks

[@chrissmart6297]

where did you get the plumber t shirt from ??

[@saniagamble2810]

Dear James, my plumbing hero, my god of repair videos...any tips or advice for a "give it a go" fan who is about to attempt changing the waste connector please? Mine appears to be leaking 😕

[@tonypybus8003]

I can out do you toilet job mate - recently rerouted the vent pipe in my house - a day later the toilet started acting up and venting through the shower trap. My immediate thought was that a part of the durgo valve had dropped out and blocked the vent. Today got around to getting it sorted Redug up the floor to investigate what had gone wrong. Well Nothing!! You can guess where this is going can't you - Yep _ lifted the inspection plates right up to the public sewer and it was all full. A quick trip to Tool station (screw fix useless as usual recently) to purchase a set of rods and job sorted - all I can smell at the moment is Poo! Lesson learned? - don't assume you have done the job wrongly investigate fully before pulling everything apart. Hold tight !!

[@ro63rto]

Question : On my toilet, the screws holding the pan to the floor (tiled) no longer hold. The whole thing rocks 😨. We had a leaking Flexi to the 4" in the wall so I think the wooden sub floor has rotted there. What could I do/use, without having to pull up the tiles?

[@jamesycotter.512]

If floors rotten u will definitely have to renew or toilet moving just now could be through floor tomorrow lol.

[@hardworker8030]

When the council changed our toilet the plumber made a pipe from the water stop valve to the inlet valve but it looks like he used a Yorkshire YPS62 fitting on to the plastic inlet valve so I'm wondering if this is wrong as I've had to change the fibre washer a few times.

[@drno1467]

Hold tight!!!

[@lesmoor001]

what would you charge for that ?

[@mikegert2199]

Just saying but Why didn't you pull the pan & cistern up from the floor & away from the wall & fit the new soil pipe connectors arrangement & replacement flexi without any struggling - change the tank connectors & donut maybe, & then lift the whole wc & drop it into the Floor soil pipe?

[@firsteerr]

the thing is you went to the van to get the replacement fill valve you could have got the right tools and wet vac then , dont rush walk slowly keep thinking

[@tracer1127]

I don’t know why I do plumbing as a job sometimes a simple job can become the biggest pain in the arse . We all try and save a bit of time trying to fix stuff in place but it’s rarely that simple. How often have we all filled something back up to find another part has started to leak or stop working ?

[@DavidGrayOK]

"Who would do that'?" I say it every time I have to do ANY plumbing. Plumbing is the trade that engineering forgot.

[@ArcanePath360]

Ceramic/Porcelain toilet on a tiled floor with no buffer? Surprised the tiles or something hasn't go cracks. Shouldn't it have some sort of putty under it as a buffer?

[@plumberparts]

I usually silicone mine.

[@ArcanePath360]

@@plumberparts Good idea. I would put a thin layer of silicone on the bottom of the toilet and leave to set before installing. That way it won't stick to the floor if you needed to move again later (perhaps to mend a broken tile).

[@sarge9733]

@@plumberparts I only ever silicone mine to the floor. I don't use the L-brackets at all (apart from the chrome caps that I stick over the holes). It saves on horrible drilling into new (usually rock-hard) porcelain tiles I've just laid. I've never had this fail yet, and the pans are solid.

Blocked urinals are really bad. Poo is "tolerable" by comparison. Top tip: paper mask liberally smeared with eucalyptus oils and long rubber gauntlets are "de riguer". Helps inhibit the inevitable gag reflex.

[@moodyalraisi1935]

[@carriegaye3403]

Dear Plumberparts, I hope you don't mind a question from someone who's not a plumber. I'm due to have my toilet waste pipe seal replaced by the housing association that I rent from. I contacted them because when I moved in I saw a ring of brown fluid around the waste pipe which had leaked out from the waste pipe seal. I assume this was excrement. I cleaned it as best I could, but I didn't dare push the cloth too far under the rubber seal in case I made it even more weak, as it's clearly a very old seal. There must be lots more of this brown stuff under the seal and behind it, and if so, I'd like to make sure it's all removed. Please can you advise in regard to this hygiene issue, because I don't really want the plumber to just replace the rubber and leave all that build-up behind. I don't like the idea that a new seal will just be placed on top of a very dirty wastepipe. Many thanks! Carrie.
