Can someone answer this please.
We are in the middle of having a bathroom update which includes a move in position of the bath and basin. Where the bath is now, the old supply pipes for the basin have been utilised. The plumber has fastened on what appear to be metal-cased flexible tube-piping to the original copper pipes, which then fasten onto the taps on the bath.
We have had an alternate plumber here today to do some work on a radiator and he expressed an interest in finishing the job off after i told him how shoddy and slack the original plumber is being. (not turning up, no phone call etc) He looked at the plumbing in of the bath and said that its' okay to use this flexi tubing stuff, but each supply pipe should have an isolation valve so we can isolate the supply to the bath completely. He said that this is part of the regs for plumbing in of a bath. Is this correct or is this new plumber just trying to make me more peed off at the original one and increase his chances of being asked to finish the job?
Thanks,
