Working in Heckmondwike
We work right across Heckmondwike — WF13, WF15 and WF16 — and in neighbouring Liversedge and Batley.
Heckmondwike gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If the bath in your Heckmondwike home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. Survey visits in Heckmondwike cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.
Most of West Yorkshire is supplied with soft water. 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
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
