Out of Order...

Following the main period of the installation one or two issues remained. (Well, quite a few actually.)

The key problems included:
  1. water leaking from beneath the sink;
  2. the sides and back of the sink were not sealed;
  3. no cupboard handles had been delivered with our order, so they needed to be purchased & fitted;
  4. waste water shooting up out of the sink's plug hole, when water was released from the bath;
  5. similarly, water glugged from the bath when water was let out of the sink;
  6. water not running out of the bath fast enough, so we're standing in water during a shower;
  7. the end of the bath was not sealed completely;
  8. the tiling at the end of the bath was lower than the bath & therefore collected water;
  9. the combination of 5 & 6 meant that water either leaked below the bath or ran onto the floor;
  10. the radiator only heated up to 2/3rds of it's height;
  11. one of the lights had blown within a few hours;
  12. all the lights blew the following day;
  13. the heated radiator trips the whole house electricity, and
  14. the toilet seat came off.
All this meant that we couldn't actually use the shower, bath, sink or toilet that weekend... The installer was due to return the following week, and did so, on the Tuesday afternoon. He came round & set to work, attempting to address all the issues above, plus a few niggles about the finish.

So how successfully do you think we managed to solve all these problems? Answer in the next post.
