Working in Chapeltown
We work right across Chapeltown — S5, S35 and S74 — and in neighbouring Hoyland Nether and Wombwell.
Chapeltown gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Chapeltown homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Survey visits in Chapeltown cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Most of South Yorkshire has moderately hard water. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
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.
