Working in Bredbury
We work right across Bredbury — SK1, SK2 and SK6 — and in neighbouring Stockport and Hazel Grove.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bredbury: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords with properties in Bredbury can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. Before a new bath is ordered for a Bredbury home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Supplies across most of Greater Manchester 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- 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.
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 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.
