Working in Broxburn
As well as Broxburn itself (EH52), we survey in Livingston, Queensferry and Balerno.
Broxburn gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the bath in your Broxburn home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Landlords with properties in Broxburn can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Supplies across most of the Lothians 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
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.
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.
