Plumbers advice/help needed


Stresshead

Recommended Posts

I have had a free standing bath installed , I purchased the chrome bath pack as well since the pipes and fittings are on show . I came home to see a plastic pipe on the bottom of the chrome piping , my plumbers said that is the way it has to be. I wasn't warned it would look like this .

Can a professional please advise as naturally I am not a plumber but I know the white plastic pipe cannot be right .

I would rather hire someone else if they are refusing to redo the pipe .

Hi stresshead


I can tell straight away from your photo that this problem should not of happened.


The contractor that you employed should of sat the bath in place and run all pipework correctly, then removed the bath leaving all pipework in its correct location before the floor was tiled.


you have a possible 2 options to correct this:


option 1


replace the plastic macalpine joint with a plastic chrone fitting ( not a great look )


option 2


remove the bath and break up a couple of tiles to access under the floor and fit a new chrome waste then re-tile the area affected before refitting the bath.


From your photo I can see that to achieve the look you originally wanted in your bathroom I would recomend option 2.


If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
