Working in Cannock
In Cannock we cover WS11 and WS12; we also cover Great Wyrley, 2.1 miles away, and Burntwood.
Cannock has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. Survey visits in Cannock 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 Cannock home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Most of Staffordshire 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- 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
Acrylic or steel
Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.
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.
