Working in West Bridgford
We work right across West Bridgford — NG2 — and in neighbouring Nottingham and Arnold.
Homes in and around West Bridgford vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For West Bridgford homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. If the bath in your West Bridgford home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
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
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
