Not all Bathroom contractors are the same, we come across bad work, by others, every week......

Please be aware, of other "so called" Experts of Bathroom re-vamps!
Here's some examples, to compare, their work, with ours. As soon as you enter a Bathroom...It's the detail, that always "draws the eye".

Here's an example of my Chrome Tile trim mitres, around a Bathroom window.

Unfortunatey....Many other contractors are happy to get the corners "fairly close" !!

Like in this example....

Lazy Bathroom Contractor did this!

Another Bathroom contractor, once told this client, that because the joists were running in a different direction, the heating pipes for this radiator could not go under the floor boards, or, straight back into the wall ??!!

They thought it wouldn't look so bad if they painted the pipework "Black" to match the clients new.... Granite tiles !!! So, they fitted the radiator for her, like this, after they had completed the tiling.
Considering the cost of the clients Granite tiles, this was a very unprofessional finish by those contractors.

How Underfloor pipe should look

There is no reason why the "underfloor" pipe work for your new radiator cannot be re-placed and lined up properly. A new Chrome Radiator can be supplied from the floor, like our example here, or, supplied from the wall, using 90 degree chrome valves.

This Copper pipe is shrouded in a Chrome sleeve and we also use Chrome base plates to make a clean finish to the floor / wall.

Bad Workmanship and could be Dangerous!

We discovered this in another clients house, how some contractors cut their joists away from the top, to fit the waste pipes in more easily .... !!
	This quick way of "block cutting", severely weakens the joists in your home.
If the Joists are running the wrong way to the pipework, then, it should be fitted "The Homeworks way" using the correct angled drills, like this ....

Bad shower fitting

And, for my final example, some other "Bathroom fitters" did a full bathroom revamp for this client.

But, when they fitted the clients shower tray with upstands... They tiled to the top of the upstand, instead of tiling over it, into the shower tray!!

I guess they never read the manual !!

This Bathroom had been completed by the other contractors, only 2 weeks previously, and had already it had caused a leak down into the clients Kitchen below !!

The client then found HOMEWORKS and asked me to fix her problem...... because she did not want to have the other contractors, back in her house again !!
To begin with, I had to remove the Clients "new" Chrome, shower door enclosure (which, we then found out, that they had never sealed it with silicon either! ) next, we had to break out the lower line of new tiles, over the shower tray.

I removed the damaged plasterboard, that had disintegrated with the leaking water. Re-plasterboard the area again and re-tile the lower line of tiles, into the shower tray. Finally, i replaced the Chrome shower enclosure in position again. ...... siliconed correctly, this time, of course !

The kitchen ceiling below the Bathroom, had to be re-plastered and re-decorated too !

This could of been avoided, if the bathroom was fitted correctly, from day one !!

So Please, be wary of the many, unexperienced "Jack of Alls" that are out there at the moment, all promising to do a great job for you.

Remember...A new Bathroom can only look beautiful, if it is done correctly.
