Bath replacement

Why you should get a plumber to replace your bath

These days baths come in all shapes and sizes. From single or double-ended straight baths to P or L-shaped shower baths, there are so many options to choose from. But before you pick your next bath, it’s important to consider the shape of your bathroom and your current pipework and plumbing.

Fitting a new bath is not an easy do-it-yourself job. New baths are often heavy and because the installation involves your home’s plumbing, we recommend hiring a professional. A qualified plumber will assess your bathroom and pipework before suggesting the best unit to buy. They’ll also make sure you have all the necessary parts and turn off your home’s water supply before fitting the new bath. They’ll install the taps, bath waste and overflow. When this is done, they’ll connect your bath to the water supply and waste pipes and seal everything to make sure you don’t have any leaks.
