Tomorrow I have an easy day at last,
Job one, replace bath taps on a cast iron bath (plastic nuts, phew!)
Job two, install TRV on a lounge radiator.
Then back home for some serious catch up on quotes/paperwork.
Later on this week I have a bathroom wall to tile and next Monday I start another full bathroom install, mid range suite and shower but all top notch work as usuall.
After that I have three more bathrooms to do that are booked in, all recommenations who are prepared to wait bless them.
I saw a bathroom done by a competitor of mine, OMG!!
He had two 15mm isolation valves poking out of the floor behind the pedestal, you could just see the screwdriver slot and the bottom comp nut was under the tile. There were no fewer than 4 cracked tiles, he had left the old toilet overflow poking out with an elbow on next to the new push button toilet, silicone was smeared up to and inch above the wall at the back of the basin and general sloppy tiling with dodgy trim cuts. He also left the pan to floor gap unsealed with a plastic paccker poking out, the shower outlet elbow had a dodgy cut tile round it with a massive unsealed hole in it.
I never commented on this to the customer I just said "mmm".
This is why I'm always booked solid for bathrooms, I seem to be the only decent plumber round here.
