Working in Scunthorpe
As well as Scunthorpe itself (DN15, DN16 and DN17), we survey in Brough, Goole and Thorne.
Across a large town like Scunthorpe, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whether your Scunthorpe bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you have young children at home in Scunthorpe, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
Most of Lincolnshire has hard water. 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
- Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
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.
Floor
Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.
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.
