Working in Hazel Grove
In Hazel Grove we cover SK2, SK6 and SK7; we also cover Bredbury, 2.3 miles away, and Stockport.
Hazel Grove gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you are in Hazel Grove and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Before a new bath is ordered for a Hazel Grove home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. 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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- 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
Decisions to make first
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.
Acrylic or steel
Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.
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.
