Working in Nuneaton

We cover every part of Nuneaton, including CV10 and CV11, and nearby Bedworth (3.1 miles) and Hinckley (3.9 miles).

Nuneaton has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are in Nuneaton and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. For Nuneaton homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.

Supplies across most of Warwickshire 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

Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath

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.

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.

Is the water hard in Nuneaton?

Who handles building control for a replacement bath in Nuneaton?

Building control for Nuneaton is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Can you replace a bath without removing the tiles?

Sometimes. If the tiles stop just above the rim with a silicone joint and the new bath is the same size, they can often stay. If the tiles sit on the bath edge, the bottom row usually cracks or comes away when the old bath is cut out. We tell you which applies at the survey and show tile repairs as a separate line on the quote.
