Working in Leominster
We cover every part of Leominster, including HR6, and nearby Hereford (11.7 miles) and Ledbury (18.8 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Leominster: free survey, written quote, one team. Before a new bath is ordered for a Leominster home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. Landlords with properties in Leominster can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Water across much of Herefordshire is moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
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.
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.
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.
