Working in Shoreham-by-Sea
We cover every part of Shoreham-by-Sea, including BN42 and BN43, and nearby Lancing (2.1 miles) and Portslade (2.6 miles).
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Shoreham-by-Sea: free survey, written quote, one team. Landlords with properties in Shoreham-by-Sea can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days. Survey visits in Shoreham-by-Sea cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Supplies across most of West Sussex 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
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
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.
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.
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.
