Working in Stirling
We cover every part of Stirling, including FK7, FK8, FK9 and 1 more postcode districts, and nearby Alloa (5.7 miles) and Falkirk (10 miles).
In Stirling, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Landlords with properties in Stirling can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. If the bath in your Stirling home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Supplies across most of the Forth Valley are soft. 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
