Working in Sandbach
In Sandbach we cover CW11; we also cover Crewe, 4.6 miles away, and Congleton.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Sandbach: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Sandbach 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. We survey in Sandbach before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
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
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
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.
Floor
Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.
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.
