Working in Gelligaer

In Gelligaer we cover CF82; we also cover Blackwood, 2.1 miles away, and Pontypridd.

Gelligaer gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For Gelligaer homes where the only toilet is in the bathroom, we plan the work so it stays usable for as much of the job as possible. If you are applying to your council for a grant, we provide an itemised written quote for your Gelligaer home to go with the application.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Gelligaer. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the bath and a level-access or low-profile shower in its place, or a full level-floor wet room
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, and an itemised quote you can give to a grant officer
A thermostatic shower valve, so the temperature stays safe and steady
Lever taps, contrasting colours for rails and fittings, and good lighting for people with low vision

Decisions to make first

Low tray or level floor

A low-profile tray with a very shallow lip suits someone who can step a little. A tiled level floor falling to a drain is needed for a wheelchair or wheeled shower chair.

Rail positions

Rails go where you need support: beside the WC, at the shower entry and near the seat. We set heights with the user at the survey so they suit their reach.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £36,000 are applied for through your local council. The Welsh Part P has a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England.

What is the difference between an accessible bathroom and a wet room?

An accessible bathroom is defined by who it is for; a wet room is a way of building the floor. Many accessible bathrooms are built as wet rooms because a level, fully tanked floor removes every step. Others use a low-profile tray, which costs less and suits people who can manage a small lip.
