unbelievable, total bathroom rip-out and plumber reckons tiler (ie me!) has to go in first, still wondering how he comes to this conclusion, all walls are stud partitions, a low level shower tray to replace existing bath, a vanity cabinet to conceal slim line cistern etc...Oh, this is a freebie I'm doing for in-laws and they think I'm being awkward, your thoughts would be appreciated

It's a bit a*** about face, is no one listening anymore...it's not rocket science:mad2:

 

[John Benton]

Hello I am a rocket scientist - The answer is plain and simple, plumber, tiler, plumber, in that order. Goodnight.

Doug, can you imagine the state of the place & the amount of tiles that would need replaced if you tiled 1st.
Get the plumber told to get the finger out & get in & get everything ready for you tiling.
It's great how a plumber always knows how to do our job..

 

[Dougs Third Go]

makes my blood boil Mark, obviously I wanna get done and dusted asap, but I aint gonna rip bath, toilet, basin out and re-pipe to first fix, it's just not my job, personally I think he's taking the piddle (well we know ​he is),,,,,but try explaining that to the out-laws..

 

[Mr Tiler]

So this is why we should never do favours lol

Im a plumber and thats the dumbest thing ive heard in a while.
Whats the point in sending in a finishing trade at the start of the job???
Unless your doing it all youself its got to be done in the right order surely....

Doug - send Mrs Welder in to sort them out!

 

[TJ Smiler]

How dumb......... like diving in a swimming pool with no water in it :7:

 

[Rossymcg]

Why don't you do the plumbing yourself?

 

[Andy Allen]

for the same reason most plumbers shouldn't tile......lol

It's a disrespect to your core talent Doug! They should be doing everything possible to make like easier for you. Rip out (labourer + joiner), refix walls, (tiler/joiner), first fix plumbing(Plumber)...then tiler....then plumber ! Get them telt!!! (Telt is a Scottish word for told Doug but much more aggressive)

Are you sure????
I like to get my 1st fix plumbing work done before any walls go back up, so I can keep pipes and wastes chased in to walls, everything's tidy and out of sight then,
