Another great video Mark. You have the same mind set I have. When you're not happy about a job it just plays over and over in your head. Also the shower tray. A lot of people would have used that tray. It's a double edged sword, you have a standard you won't fall below. But when something goes wrong it's plays on your mind. It's a great example for young plumbers to see what real life plumbing is all about. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I may and I only say may, try the classi seal but if I’m honest yours looks well watertight. I’m. Only a diyer but something about normal plasterboard and tiling just doesn’t seem a solid enough seal against water. Keep em coming Mark, particularly the awkward jobs, it’s where we learn the most!

I used one of those Mira sealing kits the other week to be fair. No they aren’t the best and when it comes to tiling they kick your tile out and you have to put next to no tile adhesive over them.
