Working in Tonypandy

We cover every part of Tonypandy, including CF40, and nearby Rhondda (2.6 miles) and Pontypridd (5.1 miles).

In Tonypandy, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For Tonypandy homes with a shower over the bath, a shower bath and fixed screen keeps the floor drier than a curtain. Survey visits in Tonypandy cover the bath, the tiles around it and the waste route, so the quote reflects your bathroom rather than a standard job.

Water across much of Mid Glamorgan 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

New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
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
Tile repairs or re-tiling around the bath, and a fixed screen where there is a shower over it

Decisions to make first

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.

Acrylic or steel

Acrylic is warm to the touch, light and the usual choice; thicker, reinforced acrylic flexes less. Enamelled steel is rigid and hard-wearing but feels colder, and needs sound-deadening pads to stop it drumming.

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.
