Working in Bury St Edmunds
As well as Bury St Edmunds itself (IP32 and IP33), we survey in Thetford, Stowmarket and Newmarket.
In Bury St Edmunds, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We survey in Bury St Edmunds before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack. Whether your Bury St Edmunds 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 Suffolk is very hard. 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
- 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
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
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 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.
