Working in Peterhead

As well as Peterhead itself (AB42), we survey in Fraserburgh, Inverurie and Aberdeen.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Peterhead: free survey, written quote, one team. Before a new bath is ordered for a Peterhead home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. If you are in Peterhead and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.

Supplies across most of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire are 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

Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim

Decisions to make first

Taps or filler

Deck taps on the rim are the simplest swap. Wall-mounted taps or a bath filler look cleaner but mean opening the wall, and an overflow filler hides the spout altogether.

Acrylic or steel

Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.

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.

What size is a standard bath in the UK?

The most common UK bath is 1700 mm long and 700 mm wide. 1500 mm and 1600 mm baths suit smaller rooms, and 1800 mm lengths or 750 to 800 mm widths give more room to lie back. Matching the old size keeps the tiling and panel work to a minimum.
