Working in Amersham on the Hill
As well as Amersham on the Hill itself (HP5, HP6 and HP7), we survey in Amersham, Chesham and Chalfont St Peter.
Amersham on the Hill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords with properties in Amersham on the Hill can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. If you are in Amersham on the Hill and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Most of Buckinghamshire has hard water. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
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.
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 England
In England, Part G limits the hot water to a new bath to 48 °C at the outlet, usually with a thermostatic mixing valve, but only in a new dwelling or one created by a change of use. It does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing home, though a thermostatic valve is still sensible where children or older people bathe. New wiring for a shower over the bath or new lights is notifiable under Part P.
