The useless fecker...
... who fitted my bathroom passed their disaster on to me!

The bath drainpipe was merely placed in-situ, not actually connected. This resulted in a flood (beoming evident) over the christmas holidays when the three of us bathed consecutively. The shower (mains - built into cavity wall type - no fixing without major household demolition) has about as much pressure as a yorkshire terrier with prostate cancer having a piss. The toilet cistern leaked onto the top of, and still leaks into the pan. And something is still leaking (I think) in an unknown location as the (chipboard) floor is permanently damp resulting in the floor tiles becoming more and more cracked and the bath lowering itself by about an inch every time I get in it. Oh, and every tap spins around when operated (probably causing more leaks) but are boxed in with tiling so can't be tightened.

I want to re-do the whole lot from scratch, but I'm scared of the complex central heating system connecting it all and can't afford to get the pro's in.

To top the whole lot, the replacement suite they fitted is the cheapest nastiest shitty 'shell shaped' thing that B&Q inflict on the nation and actually manages to (in my opinion) look worse than the 'dusky pink' (but doubtless perfectly plumbed) original one that it replaces.

I currently only use the downstairs toilet for fear of repeating the 'shit story' from last week where the guy (sorry, too lazy to search who) had to engage "hover mode" when the toilet fell through the rotten floor.


Just to add a little more un-necessary and probably humourless whingeing length, in my last house the staircase was a steel, spiral type job and someone had chopped a wedge out of the skirting boards at the top & bottom (presumably) to fit stairgates. WTF?
