Replacing Bathroom Suites

September 1st, 2009 by flooring-guy

Once you have chosen your bathroom suite you will need to install it, this is a fairly simple job for a diy professional. First turn off the water mains, next secure the ball valve in the header tank and drain all the hot water, now you are ready to remove the old bathroom suite. To remove bathroom suites you will need to have a good adjustable spanner as all the pipes are fixed to the taps via nuts. To install new bathroom suites you should allow at least 1 day, this is based on no additional pipe work being required.  Once the old bathroom suite has been removed just fix the new suite into position, now you can turn the water back on and test for leaks. If your bathroom suites not fitted correctly you will soon find out.

When choosing bathroom suites try to keep it simple if you can and find something that will match up to the old pipe work as this will save a lot of time when installing them. Bathroom suites should last you for years so make sure you choose a neutral style and colour that will not go out of style. Remember those green and burgundy bathroom suites from the seventies, who likes them?

Plain or neutral colours are the best for bathroom suites as they will never go out of fashion, so when you come to sell your home in 15-20 years you won’t have to replace your bathroom suites to keep up to date.
