Working in Wath upon Dearne
We cover every part of Wath upon Dearne, including S63, S64 and S73, and nearby Mexborough (2.3 miles) and Wombwell (2.5 miles).
Wath upon Dearne gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Survey visits in Wath upon Dearne cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. Before a new bath is ordered for a Wath upon Dearne home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Supplies across most of South Yorkshire are 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
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
