I was right with "plumb like Tom" fitting this type of cloakroom free standing whb on a plasterboard wall.
Cloakroom whbs used to be horizontal and didn't have the frontage that these oval ones have and generally I could get these to hold on the brackets without much trouble.
The first one of these oval type that was passed over the counter to me I quite innocently took without realising the problems that I was going to have fitting it (just like tom).
I think he would have done better with fitting one of those metal plates to the wall first. Hindsight would a fantastic tool for the trade!
Once I was called to a similar job were the plumber had stuck the whb on with mastic on the back and propped it up overnight.
The next day day the costumer took the timber away and it fell straight on the floor
.
Here's plumb like tom's struggle....
