Working in Havant
We cover every part of Havant, including PO9, and nearby Emsworth (2.2 miles) and Waterlooville (2.6 miles).
Homes in and around Havant vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Landlords with properties in Havant can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. For Havant homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Water across much of Hampshire is hard. 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
- 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
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.
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 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.
