1950’s Bath tap given up the ghost! A relative of the customer couldn’t get the tap head off. We were commissioned to get the head off and replace the washer or cut through the tiled bath panel and cap off the pipework as the bath isn’t used any more. Luckily we managed to get the tap repaired with no damage to the bath panel.

Concealed showers might look nice… until they go wrong! This shower was installed in 2023 by another plumber and had developed a fault. Unfortunately when the customer asked the original installer what shower it was he gave her an invoice for the wrong shower and the existing shower couldn’t be identified. So removal and installation of a new shower was the only alternative!
Shower valve installed, re-tiled where needed, grouted and lifetime warranty of the new Bristan shower valve (any Bristan product purchased after 1st April 2026)

How long could you live with this? 1950’s bath tap (older than I am) and it’s not just a trickle it’s a flow. Not only was the noise an issue but customer was worried about the wasting of water!
A relative went in and tried to change the washer but to no avail. Luckily we managed to change the washer and prolong the life of the tap a little further, save water and but the customers minds at ease. Would this be worth £70 to you?

Seen this so many times. The Doughnut washer (the seal between the cistern and the pan) compressed and degraded causing the leak. Swapped out with new bolts installed for some trouble free flushing.
As we always say, we love the little jobbing jobs- these are our bread and butter! Have an issue like this, give us a call.

Called out to this bad boy. Flexi tap connectors are brilliant but over time they just seem to split and cause havoc. New ones installed and a new isolation valve to put the customers mind at ease. Ok, not the nicest pipework in the world but it’s leak free and works- sometimes you just have to do what you can do.

The summer holidays are here, if you have been thinking about hot tubs, paddling pools or just to drench the lawn in these sunny conditions then have an outside tap installed. Fixed price of £105 for a back through the wall installation in copper with isolation valves and fitted to relevant water regs.

Another one ticked off just in time for the bank holiday weekend. We were asked to rip out this dated bath and tiles and install a new modern bath and tiles. So what did we do?
Day 1.
I got there and it became apparent instantly that the tiles were going to drop off rather than require brute force (happy days)
Once all the tiles were off and the old adhesive scrapped off I removed the bath & panel, the screen, the old shower head and installed a new Carron 1700 bath.
Later that afternoon Ben BH Tiling York came over and did the wall tiling ready for second fixing.

Day 2.
Piped up the bath, installed the bath panel and fitted the new bath screen.

Day 3.
Chris over at CJ Sealants came over to Easinwold and siliconed the bath and panel to give it a finished watertight look. I called back and installed a riser rail for the customer.

All finished and handed over to the customer.

Another full bathroom renovation completed in York ✔️

This project was taken right back to brick before being completely rebuilt from the ground up. We carried out all first fix pipework, dot and dabbed new plasterboard throughout, then fully plastered the room ready for installation.

The bathroom was finished with:
• New bath and bath screen
• Modern concealed shower valve and shower set
• Full wall tiling and floor tiling
• New toilet and vanity area
• Heated towel radiator
• Professionally finished silicone work throughout for a clean, watertight finish and a new door installed.

A complete transformation finished to a high standard with a clean modern look.

Yes — today, Friday 8 May 2026, is the 81st anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, commonly called VE Day.

VE Day marks N**i Germany’s formal surrender to the Allies in 1945, ending World War II in Europe. In the UK it’s commemorated each year on 8 May.

For some reason we celebrate this less and less but we will never forget!

We get to work in some strange places but this emergency call out was one of the best. The customer was a watcher though. Happy Star Wars day to all the geeks and nerds out there today
