Working in Guisborough
We work right across Guisborough — TS14 — and in neighbouring Redcar and Middlesbrough.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Guisborough: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Guisborough and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Landlords with properties in Guisborough can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Most of North Yorkshire has moderately hard water. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- 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
Acrylic or steel
Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.
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.
