Working in Castleford
As well as Castleford itself (WF6 and WF10), we survey in Kippax, Pontefract and Lofthouse.
In Castleford, 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 Castleford home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Survey visits in Castleford cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Water across much of West Yorkshire is 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
- 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
- Filling the bath before sealing, so the silicone cures with the bath at its heaviest
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
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.
