Working in Eastwood
In Eastwood we cover DE7, DE75 and NG16; we also cover Ilkeston, 2.1 miles away, and Heanor.
Eastwood gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Eastwood homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Before a new bath is ordered for a Eastwood home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Most of Nottinghamshire has 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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 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.
