Working in Redditch
In Redditch we cover B96, B97 and B98; we also cover Bromsgrove, 5.2 miles away, and Shirley.
Across a large town like Redditch, homes range from older terraces to newer estates; the survey tells us which pipework and floor we are dealing with. Whether your Redditch bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. If your Redditch home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows.
Most of Worcestershire has moderately hard water. 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
- A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
- 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
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.
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.
