Working in Newark on Trent
We cover every part of Newark on Trent, including NG24, and nearby Grantham (13 miles) and Arnold (13.9 miles).
In Newark on Trent, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Newark on Trent home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. For Newark on Trent homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Water across much of Nottinghamshire is hard. 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- 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
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Decisions to make first
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
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.
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.
