Working in Mexborough

In Mexborough we cover S62, S63 and S64; we also cover Wath upon Dearne, 2.3 miles away, and Conisbrough.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Mexborough: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Mexborough and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Landlords with properties in Mexborough can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.

Water across much of South Yorkshire is moderately hard. 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

Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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

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.

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.

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.

Bath replacement in Mexborough: questions

Do you cover S62 in Mexborough?

Yes. We cover all of Mexborough, including S62, S63 and S64, and nearby Wath upon Dearne, Conisbrough and Rawmarsh. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Why does the seal around my bath keep splitting?

A seal that keeps splitting usually means the bath moves when it is filled. If the bath was not supported on its feet and wall battens, or the silicone was run with the bath empty, the joint stretches every time the bath is used. Re-sealing alone will not last; the bath needs supporting properly first.
