Working in Rhyl
We cover every part of Rhyl, including LL18, and nearby Prestatyn (3.7 miles) and Colwyn Bay (9.8 miles).
In Rhyl, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Rhyl homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. If you are in Rhyl and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose.
Water across much of Clwyd is moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Levelling the bath on adjustable feet or a cradle, with timber battens fixed to the walls under the rim
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- Removal of the old bath, including breaking up a cast-iron bath in place where it will not come out whole
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
Decisions to make first
Freestanding bath
Acrylic freestanding baths are manageable on most floors; stone resin and cast iron are much heavier when full. You need room to clean round the bath and a plan for where the waste and filler come up.
Taps or filler
Deck taps on the rim are the simplest swap. Wall-mounted taps or a bath filler look cleaner but mean opening the wall, and an overflow filler hides the spout altogether.
Rules that apply in Wales
Wales sets its own building regulations, including a Part P with a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England. A like-for-like bath swap is not usually building regulations work, but speak to building control before strengthening a floor for a heavy bath.
