Working in Fraserburgh
As well as Fraserburgh itself (AB43), we survey in Peterhead, Inverurie and Aberdeen.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Fraserburgh: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Fraserburgh and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. For Fraserburgh homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Water across much of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
Decisions to make first
Freestanding bath
Acrylic freestanding baths are manageable on most floors; stone resin and cast iron are much heavier when full. You need room to clean round the bath and a plan for where the waste and filler come up.
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
Rules that apply in Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, fillers and backflow protection. A replacement bath does not normally need a building warrant, but structural work to the floor for a heavy bath may.
