Working in Norwich
We cover every part of Norwich, including NR1, NR2, NR3 and 4 more postcode districts, and nearby East Dereham (15.8 miles) and Great Yarmouth (18.2 miles).
Norwich is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Before a new bath is ordered for a Norwich home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. Landlords with properties in Norwich can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Most of Norfolk has very 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
- 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
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.
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 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.
