Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penicuik: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Penicuik home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Landlords with properties in Penicuik can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Most of the Lothians is supplied with soft water. 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
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- 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
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Decisions to make first
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.
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 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.
