Working in Clydebank
In Clydebank we cover G60 and G81; we also cover Erskine, 1.7 miles away, and Renfrew.
Homes in and around Clydebank vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords with properties in Clydebank can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. If you are in Clydebank and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Supplies across most of Greater Glasgow 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
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 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.
