Working in Brent
We work right across Brent — HA0, HA9, NW2 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Harrow and Bushey.
London homes in Brent often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. Landlords with properties in Brent can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. Survey visits in Brent cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Most of Greater London has very hard water. 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
- 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
- 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
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.
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.
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.
