Working in Newcastle under Lyme
We cover every part of Newcastle under Lyme, including ST5, and nearby Stoke-on-Trent (2 miles) and Longton (4.3 miles).
Newcastle under Lyme has a wide mix of house ages, so the survey is where we spot old lead pipework, weak joists or a tight soil stack. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Newcastle under Lyme before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. We survey in Newcastle under Lyme before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.
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
- 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
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- 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
Screen or curtain
Glass keeps water in better than a curtain and does not go mouldy at the hem. A folding or hinged screen swings out of the way when you are kneeling to bath a child.
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.
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.
