Working in Ramsbottom

In Ramsbottom we cover BL0; we also cover Bury, 3.4 miles away, and Haslingden.

Ramsbottom gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We survey in Ramsbottom before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. If your Ramsbottom 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.

Most of Greater Manchester is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. 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
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover

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.

Is the home survey in Ramsbottom really free?

Do you cover BL0 in Ramsbottom?

Yes. We cover all of Ramsbottom, including BL0, and nearby Bury, Haslingden and Rawtenstall. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Ramsbottom?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
