Working in Sunbury-on-Thames
In Sunbury-on-Thames we cover KT12, TW16 and TW17; we also cover Walton-on-Thames, 1.2 miles away, and West Molesey.
Homes in and around Sunbury-on-Thames vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Sunbury-on-Thames and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. If the bath in your Sunbury-on-Thames home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
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.
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.
