Working in Carmarthen
We work right across Carmarthen — SA31 — and in neighbouring Llanelli and Ammanford.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Carmarthen: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Carmarthen home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit. For Carmarthen homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Water across much of Dyfed is soft. In soft water, taps, wastes and toilet pans scale up slowly, so brushed and matt finishes are a safe choice. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
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.
Size
Most UK baths are 1700 × 700 mm. Going longer or wider than the old bath means re-tiling and checking that the new one fits up the stairs.
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.
