Working in Sutton in Ashfield
As well as Sutton in Ashfield itself (NG15 and NG17), we survey in Kirkby in Ashfield, Mansfield and Mansfield Woodhouse.
Homes in and around Sutton in Ashfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Survey visits in Sutton in Ashfield cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. If you are in Sutton in Ashfield and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Supplies across most of Nottinghamshire are 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- 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
- 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.
Size
Most UK baths are 1700 × 700 mm. Going longer or wider than the old bath means re-tiling and checking that the new one fits up the stairs.
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.
