Working in Bexley
We work right across Bexley — DA5, DA6, DA14 and 2 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Dartford and Swanley.
London homes in Bexley often mean stairs, permits and neighbours below; we plan the logistics as carefully as the bathroom. For a busy Bexley household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If your Bexley 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.
Supplies across most of Greater London are very hard. We plan easy-clean glass, rimless toilets and finishes that do not show limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
Decisions to make first
Screen or curtain
Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.
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.
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.
