Working in Kidsgrove
In Kidsgrove we cover ST7; we also cover Biddulph, 3.3 miles away, and Congleton.
In Kidsgrove, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a busy Kidsgrove household sharing one main bathroom, a thermostatic shower over a full-size bath is usually the most practical layout. Whether your Kidsgrove bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.
Water across much of Staffordshire is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
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.
