Working in Lincoln
In Lincoln we cover LN6; we also cover Gainsborough, 14.4 miles away, and Newark on Trent.
Lincoln is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Survey visits in Lincoln cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. If you are in Lincoln and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
