Working in Thornaby-on-Tees
We work right across Thornaby-on-Tees — TS16, TS17 and TS18 — and in neighbouring Stockton-on-Tees and Yarm.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Thornaby-on-Tees: free survey, written quote, one team. We survey in Thornaby-on-Tees before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Thornaby-on-Tees before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.
Water across much of County Durham 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
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
Decisions to make first
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.
Storage
A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.
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.
