Working in Batley
We work right across Batley — WF12, WF13 and WF17 — and in neighbouring Dewsbury and Heckmondwike.
In Batley, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Batley home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. For Batley homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Supplies across most of West Yorkshire are soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
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.
