Working in Bridlington

In Bridlington we cover YO15 and YO16; we also cover Scarborough, 16.1 miles away, and Beverley.

Homes in and around Bridlington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Bridlington home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Before a new bath is ordered for a Bridlington home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.

Supplies across most of the East Riding of Yorkshire 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

A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest

Decisions to make first

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.

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 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.

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.
