How long.

[DHTiling]

How long to take out a shower tray/screen and old thermo shower control , install new tray and shower cold tails for surface mount..

Then chase in pipes into wall for sink , rather than surface mounted and then move cold feed for bog 8 inches to the left .. timber floor..?



Fricken plumber is into his 3rd fricken day.. :mad2::mad2::mad2:

Lol, I reckon I could do that quicker with a screwdriver and a hammer! I take it he's on day rate.

 

[Bubblecraft]

Sounds like day rate to me. That should be done by lunch time on the first day. 1-2pm at the latest. Fair milking it.

 

[DHTiling]

No.. he is on price.. Soooooooo fricken slow.. i hate plumbers :lol:

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

what is he a council plumber then :yikes:

 

[DHTiling]

what is he a council plumber then :yikes:

Full on gas engineer as well , private plumber ,, no council jobby... took all day to remove tray and bog/sink , then carry downstairs into skip ???

 

[John Benton]

They're heavy those 3m x 2m trays Dave

 

[DHTiling]

LOL.. 800x800 plastic tray .. oh so heavy :lol:

 

[Dougs Third Go]

was he sucking through teabags when he gave his price???

 

[DHTiling]

God knows Doug...

1 day tops! We normally allow a week for a strip out and re fit, if i got a plumber and he was there longer than a day he would be getting his marching orders

 

[DHTiling]

Well he turned up today after his 9pm finish last night... at 8:20am and got finished his first fix at 2pm... ahhhh FFS wot the flip was he doing ..all he had to do was cap hot and cold for sink and cap radiator pipes and then patch in floor boards..

so can start tiling tomorrow instead of weds gone..

 

[beanz]

Has he given an excuse or anything!?! From what you've said, i'd estimate a day, unless there was some unexpected problem.. And i'm no plumber! But even then, 3 days!?!?! lol

 

[White Room]

Is he about 80 years old....

 

[DHTiling]

He is around 40 odd yrs old and he telephoned me last night at 7:15pm to say he was running behind , i said you are taking the pi$$ , he said i need 4 more hrs tomorrow .. i told him he was creating probs for jobs running on from this and he said see you tomorrow and said bye.. i flipped..

no way will i work with this to$$er again.. no way hosay!!.. nothing short of knocking him out would satisfy me
