Worst Bathroom Ever!

[Colour Republic]

Hi guys, hope you are all well😉 Been a little while but just been busy (and ill!)

Anyway I was going through some old pics the other day and came across a little bathroom I redid. In fact I did post a little video of it on here before I did it, but thought it was worth showing again because it's still as shocking seeing it again all these years later!!!... Beside I never posted the after pics

Quick background. This was done by a guy the 2 young female owners found via Mybuilder. He had good ratings! I went to see it just weeks after he had finished it. They wanted it re-done because they had already had dybo rod out multiple times to make the loo work.

Keep in mind this was all brand new installed with the room also freshly plastered too.

Anyway feast your eyes!

Yes that really is expanding foam joining the soil below!!!

Good on you Rob for doing what you did, a true gent, the job he did was hideous and how long it would have lasted is anybody's guess, did notice the plastering on the ceiling 😕

Hope they left bad feedback on mybuilder or should be mycowboy.

They left feedback which was removed shortly after. They felt so strongly about it they persisted until it was republished, but it took multiple calls and emails, others would have just given up.

I believe they took the guy to court (think an Uncle or something was a lawyer) although I don't now what the outcome was because it was after we'd finished.

Feedback was...

"DO NOT USE THIS MAN. We saved so hard to get our small bathroom done and he has completely ruined it. We are left with a shower that does not work, it only produces cold water, it is placed too far down the bath so you can't even stand underneath it and it makes a loud screeching sound when turned on. The toilet is so badly plumbed that it has already blocked twice and now for the third time when we have not even been flushing toilet paper down it, we have had to use public loos as can't afford to get it unblocked again. It needs to be completely re-done. The toilet will never be able to be used as it is. The finish is appalling, the floor is uneven and some tiles cracked and uneven. We asked for the wall and ceiling to be re-plastered and there are huge lumps everywhere. Nothing is straight and the seals have holes and is already cracking. Our sink only produces cold water and that as a trickle. He caused a huge flood from bad plumbing which badly damaged the two flats below, over £3000 worth of damage. He is now completely uncontactable, despite leaving hundreds of messages via every possible technology. We cannot use our bathroom and cannot afford to have the whole thing done again, which needs to be done. I can't explain how devastated we are, as young first time home owners (studio flat) he has absolutely ripped us off and should be struck off. We are so upset that we are seeking the advice of a family solicitor and are going to seek compensation."

Good on you for helping the girls.
Sometimes it's not about the money, but knowing that you have done a good deed for the day, or days in this case.

Wow! Not even sure the heading accurately describes how bad that bathroom was. Well done those concerned for putting it right.

You took good care of the girls. 🙂

Sadly more interested in each other than they were of me CJ.

Sort of off topic but I'm currently ripping out my bathroom and found this today behind the bath... I laughed ... it's not even good quality dot and dab... at least your guy didn't use tubbed Addy... it's on 9mm ply
