Working in Risca

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Risca: free survey, written quote, one team. For Risca homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Landlords with properties in Risca can usually have a bath replaced between tenancies in one to two working days.
Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. 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
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
Decisions to make first
Shower bath
A P-shaped or L-shaped bath is wider at the shower end, giving room to stand and space for a fixed screen instead of a curtain.
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.
