What does a replacement bath cost in Brough?

Working in Brough
As well as Brough itself (HU14 and HU15), we survey in Kingston upon Hull, Beverley and Scunthorpe.
Brough gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords with properties in Brough can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. If you are in Brough and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Most of the East Riding of Yorkshire 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- 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
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.
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.
