Working in Cumbernauld
As well as Cumbernauld itself (G67), we survey in Airdrie, Coatbridge and Kirkintilloch.
Homes in and around Cumbernauld vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If the bath in your Cumbernauld home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. For Cumbernauld homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
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
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- 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
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.
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 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.
