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

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
