Working in Annan
We work right across Annan — DG12 — and in neighbouring Dumfries and Locharbriggs.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Annan: free survey, written quote, one team. For Annan homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Before a new bath is ordered for a Annan home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Water across much of Dumfries and Galloway 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
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.
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.
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.
