Working in Bearsden
We work right across Bearsden — G13, G15 and G61 — and in neighbouring Clydebank and Renfrew.
In Bearsden, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Survey visits in Bearsden cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. Landlords with properties in Bearsden can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Water across much of Greater Glasgow is 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
