What does a replacement bath cost in Cobham?

Working in Cobham
We cover every part of Cobham, including KT11, and nearby Esher (3.3 miles) and Weybridge (3.6 miles).
Cobham gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Landlords with properties in Cobham can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. Before a new bath is ordered for a Cobham home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening.
Water across much of Surrey is 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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- 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
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.
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.
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.
