Working in Gerrards Cross
We work right across Gerrards Cross — SL9 and UB9 — and in neighbouring Chalfont St Peter and Uxbridge.
Gerrards Cross gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are in Gerrards Cross and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Landlords with properties in Gerrards Cross can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Supplies across most of Buckinghamshire are hard. 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- 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
Decisions to make first
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
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.
