Working in Royal Leamington Spa
We work right across Royal Leamington Spa — CV31, CV32 and CV33 — and in neighbouring Warwick and Kenilworth.
In Royal Leamington Spa, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. Survey visits in Royal Leamington Spa cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job. For Royal Leamington Spa 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
Decisions to make first
Size
Most UK baths are 1700 × 700 mm. Going longer or wider than the old bath means re-tiling and checking that the new one fits up the stairs.
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.
