Fitting An Acrylic Bath And Wall Cladding #bathroom #wallcladding #diy

it's time for not a full bathroom setup but actually just fit in the bath that was the bath that you saw that I've got to fit it's already been pre-bought I didn't buy it it was ready and here's where it's going this bathroom is a lot better condition than the other one the other video I had you can see by the tiles on the wall that there used to be some kind of paneling on the wall that's been ripped off before me that's just the old silicon yeah we have to do something about that got my waist pipe in and I have isolator valves already put in so that's easy enough I don't see any [Music] troubles then I knew crap pipe but iel I was are good yeah broken tiles you see there a whole Corner need hen out after the bath has gone in but the floor's good let's get the feet on you can tell the lighting is not agreeing with the GoPro at the minute but that's that that will pass very very quickly I'm just fitting the feet by the legs onto this acry bath I don't like acrylic baths I don't like them if I'm doing the bathroom and I buy the bath I buy a metal bath acrylic baths are too light for me they're flexible they're wobbly and the leg systems are crap look at like you got all that weight a bath holds about 250 L of water that's qu of a ton plus the person in it and you got that I know it's I know it's strong enough yeah but I want it stronger and I want it sturdy this anyway I've been FAS this job to do so I'll I'll do it first things first fit the legs and that lighting is driving me nuts so I'm sure it's driving you nuts but it's going to pass very quickly once I get these legs on we'll get into proper [Music] lighting you can see there's a a center foot as well in the center of the bath as well these are the feet another reason I don't like them it's just two nuts you know and they from movement of time they can loosen I'm starting to sound wingy aren't I no I don't intend to be wingy right we done measuring and leveling what I'm doing now I'm I'm drawing out the height of the bath the bottom of the lip of the bath I remember Riley was 5051 something like that cuz I'm going to fix this paath to the wall the way I like to do it cuz when you buy the acrylic paath they just give you a couple of 90° bracket things thickness of a piece of paper and that's meant to hold it onto the wall and sometimes as you can see by this wall the wall you're fixing it to isn't a brand new wall I got get to my van [Music] you can tell tell it's been a busy week cuz the van's just full and stuff thrown in thrown out it comes and goes I have clean van times and I have messy van times and that believe me is not unusual for anybody so I've lost something now why can't remember what I lost well I know one's it's been [Music] found no I definitely lost something what have I lost that was my soul that was right I'd lost my [Music] soul there it is there it is right anyway stop faffing about Jeff get on me what you're doing my plan is to cut the strip of Timber Just short of the length of the bath fix that to the wall and well you'll see from there so that's the length now another thing I don't like about the Crilly bash you got to leave gaps for the legs metal BFFs the feet are on the bottom you just do a long strip but hey come on Jeff accept the fact you're doing an acrylic paath now come [Music] [Music] [Music] on [Music] so there my three pieces I need for the length of the buff leaving gaps for the legs so it's just a matter of uh drill holes wool plugs level up fix [Music] something else from the van backis and for a shorter [Music] level [Music] I should also say I said this on my other videos as well when I'm tasked have jobs to do this to set up a you know to get to a bathroom or kitchen or whatever back into good use it's not to be done at five star hotel standard is to be done a hygienic usable standard so it's not going to be Glitters and shiny and diamonds it's just going to be a standard hygienic usable bathroom so the next person can use it [Music] ASAP [Music] so I'm happy that that's level now this is what I'm doing now I'm creating a [Music] lip and that's going to act like a hook so I'm going to I will slot the bath into that see where my finger is that's where the bath Edge will go and it will be hooked to the wall along the whole length and the width of the bath to me that's way way stronger than some poxy little 90° metal bit fix the back the Taps on once I'm still got access much easier much quicker that's obviously a tap hand shower fitting again Jeff again to the van [Music] again get that good and tight [Music] and testing now if the if the lip fits there it goes slotted into the lip done it's not fixed down or anything it's just in and there you go you can see the lip in [Music] action for the sake of a strip of Timber and a few ply off Cuts Works a tree anyway taking it back off again and get the waist pipe fitted bath [Music] trap now B the Final Fix of the bath so I'm going to flood that with silicon to act as a bonding agent but but more so as just keeping the water at Bay any splurges and splashes can stay where they [Music] are so it's now set into the whatever you call it the timber hook strip thing and I'm pushing it right into that silicon so it fills all the [Music] GS now what I'm doing now is the end piece of the bath cuz the bath doesn't span the whole width of the room so it needs an end section which I'm using 18 mm ply for this do a rough measurement not doing aact I need some wiggle room it's going to get covered in the end [Music] anyway cut me finger look at that he leaving my DNA samples all over the bloody [Music] room so that's going to go on there oh I've got to give myself some space off the floor and also Mark out for the skirting board but that solid piece has made the and rigid and we've got other we got the floor Mount and we got other supporting legs on the outside of the [Music] bath now I just got to get my hand in and attach the the flexes from there to the isolator bowels those feet will be screwed down before I do put the final panel in on [Music] so I've got to do a little extender from the isolator vowels to where the flexes are going to be attaching cuz the flexi tubes just aren't long enough so matter of cut cut cut I really like that hand cutter it fits really nice you can almost use it with just one hand and as it's push fit it's just exactly that push fit wa long as it's you can feel that click in there it's [Music] done so the nut on the olive to attached to the uh end of the flexi [Music] tube the two most useful tools you can that for bathroom there two spanners good and tight so they're all tight and good and so are these got turn the water on now oh there's a bit of a leak so I'll have to sort that out now the waste pipe um the um black waste pipe that came from underneath the bath to the outside was Tad too short so well what you do you change it for a longer bit don't you it's easy [Music] enough this is the the plug and over overflow system all these fittings are just standard for any BFF no matter it's a metal bath acrylic bath whatever and of course you can buy fancy or you can buy standard this this is as I've said is [Music] standard so there's the Overflow and also where the chain attaches for the [Music] plug [Music] that's if that's fixing the plug down to to the the hu Bend underneath that you saw me [Music] do that makes it all [Music] waterproof you messing about you reflection man yeah and there's the white the white pipe going out the wall that I replaced just went over long and I'm not responsible for the the state of the garden and I cut it to [Music] [Music] fit there we are into the [Music] waste we have water we have a shower good pressure and we've got a waste pipe so that's a functioning bath you can see there I put starting to put the Silicon around the bath between the bath and the wall there's going to be plenty more of that that's just a a bit cuz next is fitting the panels to the wall I'm not going to retile it I'm going to panel it cuz I don't have the time this thing this uh this apartment needs to be up and running again so hence the vinyl [Music] strip if I get how long they were I think they were 2 M50 I think [Music] and it is a matter of Squirt squirty squirt squirt stick [Music] stick well when your tube doesn't run out [Music] when you're using multiple tubes just keep your original nozzle saes cutting a new one every [Music] time [Music] [Music] now these are tongue and [Music] grooved so it is a matter of get your first one Plum got to get your first one plum because everything follows on from that as long as your first one's Plum and your bath is level and the cuts you're doing the 90° you're [Music] okay push them tight [Music] together I didn't have to take the old silicon off because um there's plenty of room to play with [Music] I I'm if I remember right I used three packs of that with very very little to um left over I think there was four pieces in a pack I was cutting each strip around um 175 is it something like that this was a few weeks now I can't remember mind you I probably wouldn't remembered if I recorded this the day after the memory fails [Music] huh so he using the 90° of the the handle of the saw I presume most people know [Music] that and it's the same as cutting plaster board do it with a pen knife score the outside edge and the saw doesn't slip once you've cut through the first layer as you do your plaster board clack and then cut the back no no fancy tools needed just a sharp blade there's your offcut some of those offcuts I'm going to use for the the end piece of the bath that is at that moment was still um 18 mil ply and it was a matter of rinse and [Music] repeat [Music] as I said earlier tongue and [Music] groove they're very flexible they're actually Hollow which makes them very flexible so you can put them on very Unforgiven surfaces as that one I'm doing there now but you could put it on a worse surface as long as it's dry a lot of hotels use them nowadays cuz it's [Music] quick [Music] [Music] doing the other Edge as well as that's the first piece to go along the the width of the bath make sure it's plum because of the T and G T and G their tongue and [Music] Grove [Music] and that's the wall done you can see I've siliconed in the edges s silicon around the uh final silicon around the edge of the bath it's gone all okay I'm quite pleased it's clean and that's that's my brief make it hygienic and usable the paneling is very quick it's pricey but then what you pay out in money you gain in time so that's that one done thank you very much for watching um yeah perhaps you learned something perhaps you didn't who knows perhaps so you just got passed the time away I see you on the next [Music] one
