Working in Kidderminster
We cover every part of Kidderminster, including DY10 and DY11, and nearby Stourport-on-Severn (3.6 miles) and Stourbridge (6.5 miles).
In Kidderminster, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you are in Kidderminster and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. If the bath in your Kidderminster home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Water across much of Worcestershire is moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- 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
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.
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.
