Working in Great Sankey

We cover every part of Great Sankey, including WA5, and nearby Warrington (2.5 miles) and Newton-le-Willows (4.3 miles).

In Great Sankey, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If you have young children at home in Great Sankey, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage. If your Great Sankey home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows.

Water across much of Cheshire is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling

Decisions to make first

Shower over the bath or separate

A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.

Bath shape

A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.

Rules that apply in England

In England, any new circuit, or any change to the wiring in a room with a bath or shower, is notifiable under Part P. Part G limits the hot water at a new bath to 48 °C only in a new dwelling or one created by change of use; it does not apply to a replacement bath in an existing house, but a thermostatic valve is a sensible choice where children bathe.

Yes. We cover all of Great Sankey, including WA5, and nearby Warrington, Newton-le-Willows and Widnes. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Great Sankey?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
