Bathrooms in Park Hill
Park Hill bathrooms are usually larger than their Wash Park equivalents and more often worth restoring rather than replacing.
A lot of Park Hill work starts with a client who likes the original room and wants it to stop leaking. That is a legitimate project and we take it seriously: matching a 1936 hex floor, sourcing a period-correct square tile in the right glaze, and rebuilding the wet zone behind a restored surround to a modern bonded assembly.
The most common structural issue here is the tub. A cast iron tub set on a mortar bed against a plastered wall will have been leaking at the flange for decades by the time we see it, and the joists under it are frequently soft at the end bearing. We open the floor at the flange on the survey where we can.
Where clients do go modern, the rooms take it well. Park Hill bathrooms tend to have enough floor for a separate shower and tub, and the ceiling height suits a full-height tile without the room feeling like a shaft.
What we find in Park Hill
- Failed tub flange
- Decades of slow leaking at the flange. Soft joist ends at the bearing are common.
- Period tile matching
- Hex and square tile can usually be matched. Glaze and shade lot are the hard part.
- Plaster over wood lath
- Removal is dusty and slow, and the walls behind it are rarely plumb.
- Galvanised supplies
- Frequently scaled. Worth replacing back to the stack while the wall is open.
