    I once left a bath drain disconnected, and went home. The guy came home from work, had a bath, pulled the plug and flooded the down stairs toilet. The good news was, i hadn't started tiling the floor.

    Did EXACTLY the same as you when I fitted this tap



    For access I Pulled out ALL the pipework (including waste) to get to the brass nut



    Then used the tap and mains water to wash away all the grit and dirt that built up.



    To cut corners I never bothered to clean out the cupboard underneath of its contents...

    Major flood and major drying out operation.

    When I first started fitting bathrooms my neighbour was bragging about how he does his own DIY. When he did his bathroom he was laid in the bath for the first time, probably thinking, 'I did this', then he pulled the plug out to find he had forgotten the waste completely!! Straight into the living room......
