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.

(snip)

It was allegedly a temporary measure but the tenant decided to keep the
botch up overflow draining over the edge of the bath, next she'll be moaning
that there are stains down the side of her bath.
I would have thought it would have been a bit easier to establish why the
water was overflowing in the first place!
