I wish plumbers would stick to pipes.
In the past 10 yrs I've been trading, every single time I come across a "wetroom" (deliberate quotation marks) installed by a plumber - it invariably needs re-doing.
Why oh why oh why do people assume that wetrooms come under the banner of plumbers?!

The heating eng. I work with is a close mate and a great plumber - but he's an utter moron still when it comes to wetrooms. He just won't learn.

I'm sure there are great plumbers out there who can prepare a wetroom properly.
My opinion is that they just don't realise that they are all tilers in the wrong body.

The last bathroom I did, the plumber had left the shower tray rocking, it moved 10mm up and down and he told the customer the tiles would hold it in place, 150mmx75mm metro!.... say out those plumbers.....

Aaaaaaaaaaah...the famous "don't worry,the tiler will take care of that "

 

[Ttt1601]

Well we do ALL know the tiler will get over it

A company I do work for used to have the plumber do all the tanking prior to me starting, I took about four jobs for the gaffer to pay attention to me, every time he had the wall skimmed then the plumber came in and bladdered the tanking all over it.....no primer....I'd go in a couple of days later and peel it off in one piece and then charge him to start all over again, some people learn slowly.
