Has anyone seen this? Is that bloke a real plumber?

T'other week he replaced a cracked trap under the sink with about
fifty squillion pipe fittings, all in different colours. Even then it
took him all day because he wanted a reducer (Doesn't he know B&Q have
these??)

This week I only caught the end of the programme but he made a very
ugly hole through some very expensive tiles in order to get an
overflow pipe to drain into the bath. What was going on there?

The overflow was not from the bath but rather from the DHW system I
beleive (missus told me this as I missed that bit).

One assumes he fixed the constant overflow too?

Apparently, the "fix" was an emergency measure until it could properly
sorted.

I am not really sure if this was the only "quick" option, but I guess
the implication is so. Being an emergency plumber you would expect him
to carry plenty of fittings etc to be able to lash something a bit more
elegant up.

He seemed rather attached to his big SDS drill, so maybe that was the
deciding factor on approach.

All seemed a bit odd to me too!
