Bathroom Renovation Remodel #bathroom #remodel #diy

okay we just have a look at this uh bathroom from hell that I had to renovate that brown you see on the wall is Creo imagine that Creo in red radiators walls everything made a right old mess of it now I have to make it clear that when I do kitchens and bathrooms that are like this my job is to make it usable again hygienic and usable again not make it to fancy fancy standard or five-star hotel standard it's to make it all good and useful again for the next person so some things aren't uh incredibly fancy that I do they're just standard just good standard the first thing just get rid of that door you it in the way it's going to piss me off every time I get through knocking things [Music] over and this bath is cast iron and as you can see there where the enamels chipped away and rusted it's got to go and that [Laughter] too now I know like all cast iron Buffs it's going to weigh an absolute ton absolute ton but let's get things get rid of around the uh the edges first I at least get to it old tiles yeah I I mean yeah that's lovely that nice bit of titling that hoit and this paneling what's it what's behind it Jesus that's what's behind it there's a reason for the paneling just stuck on with some old silicon by the looks of it and came off with no effort at all old tiles you can even see where they've dropped on the bottom there really it does not B well and it's got to go it's all got to go lots of silicon and what else mold obviously where moisture has got behind it for years and years mold gets in there that also has to go and there mold at the bottom but then the rest is okay just old silicon look at that mold nah it's like cake but not the cake cake cake cake cake not the cake i''d like to eat not with that uh black shite so we had a pair of friends and have at [Music] it [Music] it's coming off with no effort at all you can see it's just been Dot and [Music] dubbed and you see where along the edge of the bath where there's been moisture getting through for years and years see I'll scrape all that old silicon off as well before I can do anything I can't remember if I showed in the video not but uh black mold uh got sprayed this [Music] stuff some would call it therapeutic thric no I wouldn't it's just uh scrape scrape scrape the paint just come off easy and here you can see uh um where it's just the it's like a what's the wall made out of it's like a it's sort of like a cement board but not a cement board but this was done years and years ago you can see where I've started to paint over the uh the Criss out there it took many many layers [Music] out see that layers of plaster just coming off as well if it's loose it's got to go like this bath this has to go too [Music] [Laughter] so start to drag it out and yes it does weigh a ton and there's pip work underneath as well that I've got to be careful of as I discover [Music] first let's uh let's get those feet off or the Taps even I love that tool getting under sinks and all those dodgy places now go in the scrap bin [Music] [Music] all right now I've got to get it out of there and he weighs about the same as I do yes I did scrap it I cut it in half and I sent it to the scrapyard I got myself 25 quid for it and that's okay for a bit of rubbish and here's what's left of the walls of course that bath before I got rid now first thing I want to do is put some Tim boning around the walls at bath height for my new bath to sit on top of I don't like using just little brackets I like it to sit on a Ledge so the weight is taken over the whole length of the bath [Music] and uh the ends of course as [Music] [Music] well advantages of a Long Level legs wherever they can go i' already started the tiling there it's another advantage that Timber yeah not only does it hold the bath up gives you the level for the the tiles as [Music] well the wall definitely wasn't level in any wasn't flat wasn't level so each TI was a different uh different [Music] story [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] for for [Music] that's I think that's an improvement especially when the other edges get [Music] done right what to do about this radiator there's actually absolutely nothing wrong with this radiator at all it just looks like because of the Creer so that been painted on top of it so radiator paint it is scrapes back to all the loose stuff all the worst stuff and I think it was about three coats in all something like that like I said at the beginning of the video the aim is to get this place up and running again [Music] ASAP and if there's absolutely nothing wrong with the radiator why replace it it can replace later it will replace I imagine in a couple of years time but rust will come through but for now when there's people in need of homes make [Music] good that's I think that was about the third layer of paint on top of uh that career so stuff what the last layer of paint now is this is good thick bathroom paint the electric fan in the corner will be replaced so don't worry about the ceros soap stuff look bluring all over it you can see how bad that strip of wall is at the end of the bath there so I'm going to have to do something about that it's structurally solid but just a bad surface the tile [Music] onto sticking a new window seill in the bathroom the cleanest and quickest way the tiles that are down there now is just to make it level because what was down underneath was stuck hard but crap so I fix that down and then that strip between the end of it and the uh the window itself I I'll put a thin tile between [Music] that [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] God it's all looking very white isn't it well a lot better than what he was [Music] maybe I'll choose a different color on the next [Music] one and the ceiling you can see where the everybody's years of having a shower has got that one spot with the flaky paint it's all got to come off cuz that stuff loves to stick to your paint brush when you're trying to paint the ceiling I love this tool it's used for mainly for ripping tiles up and things like that but I use it everywhere anywhere where that's flaky slight advantages of being tall you don't really need the ladder for much [Music] I think there was a couple of coats of bathroom paint on top of that that I did it's funny when you see my face on the camera and I'm I'm I'm in work mode not in smiling at the camera mode so you look pretty gormless one track mine that's what it is focus on the job and smile [Music] later right pipe work I need an isolator valve cuz there isn't one the water coming out there is just water that sat in the pipe the house is uh turned off got a clean tidy Edge on [Music] it that's the flow of the water indicator it's important to know that when you put it on because each side of the isolator valves isn't the [Music] same and I'm changing this paper pip here with that corner isn't needed [Music] for yeah it works off on off and it's dry new metal bath a lot light in the cast iron bath I much prefer fishy metal bath to acrylic bath buff cly Buffs don't have any weight and they Wibble and wobble all over the place metal Buffs sort they stay [Music] put get all these feet bits on properly [Music] nice shiny tap I always like to do all the tap as much of the tap fitting as possible before fitting the bathroom because there's nothing worse of climbing on climbing is not the word crawling under a bath is the word especially when you're above average [Music] height there you go I can sit it on the timber at the back and then I can just level it up with the feet [Music] underneath sticking a flexi hose onto there this is the cold now fixing this Timber to the floor so I can build the other part of the framework to hold the bath up and also the panel the bath side [Music] panel it's all a bit belt and Brace but I like belt and [Music] braces now this is the end of the bathway it doesn't reach the wall accessing required there so I can close it up completely and then just tie over the [Music] top and you can see where the uh the room isn't square but hey right now I'm messing about with that that Mucky wall at the tap end of the bath it's perfectly strong it's just a bad surf the tile to so I'm cleaning it up by fixing some some ply to it I mean look at that double layer and everything and this job needs to be finished in good time so stick a new new Surface on the top and TI to [Music] that [Music] and [Music] screws so there's the paneling fitted and what am we going to do about the sink well I'm not going to put a sink in I'm going to put a vanish unit in cuz just more useful and easier for maintenance when um you have to do something later on you you'd have to keep struggling around the the pedestal of the sink you just open the door and that go straight into the pipe work there uh don't know how many years a paint is on that FIP work of course where you going to work on it it's got to come off I L of course [Music] now this is going to be the Valen unit of course I've got to cut out the bottom side sorry uh where the pipe work passes look at the amount of paint on those pipes years and years and years of it well it's not about what they look like it's about they do they work or not and they certainly do so that's cushion out the access for that pip work that runs along the back [Music] wall [Music] yeah just mess everything up that You' just made [Music] tidy other end Jeff other end that's putting it in [Music] place now unfortunately I lost the footage of fitting the rest of the sink in it everything so here's the the bathroom as is done if you remember the brown walls and the Mankey radiator and everything like I said earlier the aim is not to do a 5ar hotel it's to make it good hygienic and clean and up and running again for the people who need it I didn't change the toilet on this bathroom simply because the toilet was there was fine just needs cleaning that's all but it works fine the shower got actually tighten that uh that shower hes up yeah that's all working hot and cold and for the floor the new vinyl will be fitted not by me that by uh just by somebody else but a hell of a lot cleaner and and look how it used to be Mankey that's a good difference and Al of course when people move into their house they they make it their own thing they beautify it up themselves it looks a bit bare now but it's clean and bare that a do for another one well thank you very much for watching
