I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Little kitchen back splash. Nothing but hassle. Between sparks and plaster it's well screwed.

Boxes sticking too far out the wall. No rubber grommets. Not enough cable to get the tile behind properly. Pulled socket away from wall and live and earth pop out knocking cooker hood lights off.

Sick as a chuff.

From the photo, the cable seems long enough, but they haven't trimmed the sheathing, so it's all very tight.

The irony is that you are being responsible in not wanting to meddle with the wiring as you aren't a sparkie, but whoever wired that rubbish was quite happy to leave it like that. Nice cheap sockets too?

Aye bad photo from me it's the fused spur in bottom corner of first pic.

Here it is with the tiles just in behind.

Apparently sparky was a "friend" of the customer.

Should have been a bit of both. Water was dizzy.

Just a continuation of works from earlier in the week.

Now having to redo whole floor and tidy up pipework under the bath.

Oh and fit a new shower, create new bath panel.

Originally it was vanity basin, wc, enclosure, shower tray out. Patch up tiles and fit new tray, enclosure, toilet and wc.

Now it's new shower, new basin in different location, smaller tray and enclosure, new toilet moved over 18", new towel rail and pipework, re tile floor, tile where bits missing and redo the whole floor.

Onwards and upwards.

Nearly Friday 🍻🍻🍻👍
