Working in Stourport-on-Severn
In Stourport-on-Severn we cover DY13; we also cover Kidderminster, 3.6 miles away, and Droitwich.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Stourport-on-Severn: free survey, written quote, one team. If you are in Stourport-on-Severn and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. Survey visits in Stourport-on-Severn 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 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
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
Decisions to make first
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.
Acrylic or steel
Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.
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.
