Working in Dundee
We cover every part of Dundee, including DD1, DD2, DD3 and 2 more postcode districts, and nearby Carnoustie (10.5 miles) and St Andrews (11.2 miles).
In a city the size of Dundee, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Before a new bath is ordered for a Dundee home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. For Dundee homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Most of Dundee and Angus is supplied with soft water. 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
- 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
Decisions to make first
Size
Most UK baths are 1700 × 700 mm. Going longer or wider than the old bath means re-tiling and checking that the new one fits up the stairs.
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.
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.
