Back to jobbing in another day in the life of a plumber, this week we will be replacing a Mira shower, sorting a cold mains burst that had one of the best bodge repairs i've seen, is it a bodge thou, if it works it works! Also we will be replacing a radiator where we make a mistake that has either happened to you as a plumber or will happen..trust me!
This is post installer and i just wanted to say thank you to everyone that came to see me over the 3 days, it was great to catch up and meet new people.

You need to knock thecpugs in behind the tile

They need to put some tiles in at the bottom so patching that one at the top isn’t the end of the world, accidents happen buddy, I tend to go through stages when things go wrong, really gets you down, but that’s life.

Great content Luke. Good tip on putting a cloth down in the shower tray. Shower swap sounds easy to most people but I always say you never know what is behind the cover. 1 shower I did had a flexi into the fill valve. It was the last thing I expected to see. So I removed the old flexi back to the 15 mm copper pipe and did some fancy soldering after chiselling out a bit of the wall to gain access to the pipe. This game never fails to surprise that’s for sure. Good job

Thanks mate 👍 one of the first mistakes I made was charging a low price on showers as they always end up being a nightmare even the straight swaps 😅

Another good one mate, working my way through all the vids. As someone who currently works for your previous employer with only 3 years experience on SnR. Would you say going out on your own is lucrative enough to be worth while. Do you wish you had done it earlier in hindsight?

@bluebulldog_uk 2 месяца назад

I do wish I did it sooner but it is a 7 day a week job, it’s a lot of work and a lot you don’t know like running the books, quotes etc so lot to learn but more freedom to do your own thing

Real world plumbing as mj tiff says! Every job isn't insta worthy. Sometime you have to just do what the customer wants and make it look as neat as possible... Great work pal

Budget and creep away at large

I wouldn’t last the week if I were given these jobs. Much better work in the plumbing industry than this. Pays the bills I suppose but zero job satisfaction.

@bluebulldog_uk 3 месяца назад

Just basic plumbing jobs that you get week in week out to be honest, the mains was a decent job to do to be fair

1:47 check out the mould on the shower ceiling in the background. Shocking how some people (have to) live. Great video mate

Thanks mate 👍

As a sparky, I’ve fitted plenty of them Miras. I noticed you didn’t prime the unit though using the air bleed button inside the shower. Commissioning section in the manual says it’s important to do this otherwise it will affect the performance of the shower.

Had a shower that the client put a cheap shower head on and ended up in hospital with burns due to overheat kicking in and switching water off then came back on with boiling water and another that set the shower on fire 🙈

@bluebulldog_uk 3 месяца назад

Shame for customers as they don’t hear these horror story’s, they just see a cheap shower head and don’t understand the damage it can do
