Working in Hythe

We cover every part of Hythe, including SO45, and nearby Southampton (3 miles) and Totton (5.6 miles).

Hythe gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Hythe bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks. Wall-hung vanities in Hythe homes are fixed to suit what the wall is built from, which we check at the survey.

Most of Hampshire has hard water. Taps, plug wastes and toilet pans scale up quickly, so chrome copes better than matt black, and a removable aerator is worth having. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Patching or re-tiling the wall where the old basin left gaps
Moving the waste and supply positions where the new unit needs them higher, lower or to one side
Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
A new tap, trap and the correct slotted or unslotted waste for the basin

Decisions to make first

Basin type

An inset or semi-recessed basin, a one-piece moulded top, or a countertop basin on a worktop. Countertop basins need a tall tap or a wall-mounted one.

Width

Compact units around 400 mm wide suit cloakrooms; family bathrooms often take 600 to 800 mm for one basin and 1200 mm or more for two.

Rules that apply in England

In England, the tap and supply pipework come under the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. A new waste connection to the soil stack can be Part H work, and adding a light to the unit or above it is notifiable under Part P.
