Working in Bognor Regis
In Bognor Regis we cover PO21 and PO22; we also cover Chichester, 5.8 miles away, and Littlehampton.
Homes in and around Bognor Regis vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Bognor Regis and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Landlords with properties in Bognor Regis can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Most of West Sussex has hard water. 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
