Working in Belper
We work right across Belper — DE56 — and in neighbouring Ripley and Heanor.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Belper: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Belper 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. If you have young children at home in Belper, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Water across much of Derbyshire 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
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- 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
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
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.
