Working in Walton-on-the-Naze
We cover every part of Walton-on-the-Naze, including CO13 and CO14, and nearby Frinton-on-Sea (1.6 miles) and Clacton-on-Sea (6.2 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Walton-on-the-Naze: free survey, written quote, one team. Survey visits in Walton-on-the-Naze cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. If you are in Walton-on-the-Naze and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Supplies across most of Essex are very 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
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.
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.
