That brings me to bathroom fitters...
2 new bathrooms, 1 main, 1 en-suite, and this time in my own house, or rather a flat I was getting ready to rent out.
Why do so many trades use plasterboard screws for everything? Certainly didn't secure the shower svreen to the wall in the main bathroom, and also fitter must have lost the little chrome grub-screws for the standoffs for the towel rail...yup, secured by drywall screws...WC cistern sagging, drywall screws again! No wall-plugs, just screwed into holes in the tiling.
Fancy extractor fan, stuffed loosely into a square "hole" in the tiled wall...and of course, no isolator.
En-suite shower fitted to the wrong wall, against my instructions, and unable to use it properly or get access to the connections.
Electric towel rail fitted so close to the whb that you burn your leg on it when washing your hands. Had to be moved and thus left 2 holes in the tiles.
Fancy extrctor fan, better fitted this time, but no isolator.
To fix all these snags will mean some inevitable destruction of walls and floor tiles, and the extensive use of puch-fit plimbing gives me no confidence because I have found 2 joints with no pipe inserts.
Ranting over for now...
