Working in Cramlington
As well as Cramlington itself (NE22, NE23 and NE24), we survey in Bedlington, Blyth and Gosforth.
Homes in and around Cramlington vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Cramlington and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. If the bath in your Cramlington home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Supplies across most of Northumberland 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- 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
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 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.
