Working in Newton Aycliffe
We work right across Newton Aycliffe — DL4 and DL5 — and in neighbouring Bishop Auckland and Spennymoor.
Homes in and around Newton Aycliffe vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Newton Aycliffe before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. We survey in Newton Aycliffe before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Most of County Durham has moderately hard water. 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 layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Decisions to make first
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.
Bath material
Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.
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.
