Working in Camberley
In Camberley we cover GU15 and GU16; we also cover Sandhurst, 2 miles away, and Farnborough.
In Camberley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Survey visits in Camberley cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. If you are in Camberley and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Supplies across most of Surrey are hard. 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
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- 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.
