Working in Fleetwood
We cover every part of Fleetwood, including FY5 and FY7, and nearby Thornton-Cleveleys (3.6 miles) and Poulton-le-Fylde (6.5 miles).
In Fleetwood, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Fleetwood homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. If the bath in your Fleetwood home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Water across much of Lancashire is 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
- 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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
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.
