Working in Southport
We work right across Southport — L20, L21, L22 and 5 more postcode districts — and in neighbouring Formby and Lytham St Annes.
Across a large town like Southport, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. For a busy Southport household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. We survey in Southport before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
Water across much of Merseyside is soft. 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
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
Decisions to make first
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.
Storage
A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.
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.
