Working in Bellshill
As well as Bellshill itself (G71, ML1 and ML4), we survey in Motherwell, Coatbridge and Blantyre.
Bellshill gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the bath in your Bellshill home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Survey visits in Bellshill cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Supplies across most of Lanarkshire 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
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
Decisions to make first
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.
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 Scotland
In Scotland, the Scottish Water Byelaws 2014 cover new taps, fillers and backflow protection. A replacement bath does not normally need a building warrant, but structural work to the floor for a heavy bath may.
