Working in Lichfield
As well as Lichfield itself (WS13), we survey in Burntwood, Tamworth and Aldridge.
Homes in and around Lichfield vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. Whether your Lichfield bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Lichfield before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower.
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
- A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- 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
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.
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.
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.
