Working in Canning Town
We work right across Canning Town — E13, E14 and E16 — and in neighbouring Stratford and Bow.
London homes in Canning Town often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. If the bath in your Canning Town home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. For Canning Town homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- 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
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.
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.
