Working in Cwmbran
We work right across Cwmbran — NP44 — and in neighbouring Pontypool and Risca.
Homes in and around Cwmbran vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are in Cwmbran and considering a freestanding bath, the survey includes a check of the floor and joists before you choose. For Cwmbran homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain.
Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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
- Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
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.
Bath panel
Acrylic panels are cheap and easy to clean; wood-effect panels match fitted furniture; a tiled panel on a frame looks built-in but needs an access hatch for the waste.
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.
