Working in Kingston upon Hull
We cover every part of Kingston upon Hull, including HU1, HU2 and HU3, and nearby Beverley (7.9 miles) and Brough (9.7 miles).
In a city the size of Kingston upon Hull, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If the bath in your Kingston upon Hull home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. If you are in Kingston upon Hull and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Water across much of the East Riding of Yorkshire is 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
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
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.
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.
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.
