Working in Tunbridge Wells
As well as Tunbridge Wells itself (TN1, TN3 and TN4), we survey in Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks.
In Tunbridge Wells, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a busy Tunbridge Wells household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Tunbridge Wells before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.
Water across much of Kent is 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
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
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 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.
