Working in Gorseinon
In Gorseinon we cover SA4; we also cover Llanelli, 5.2 miles away, and Swansea.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gorseinon: free survey, written quote, one team. Before a new bath is ordered for a Gorseinon home, we measure the stairs and landing as well as the opening. If the bath in your Gorseinon home is the only thing letting the bathroom down, a swap in one or two days avoids a full refit.
Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. 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
- Leak testing at the waste, overflow and taps, taking the old bath away and a final clean
- A survey of the bath opening, the floor, the waste route, the supplies and the tiles around the bath
- New flexible connectors or pipework, with isolation valves on the hot and cold supplies
- Supply of the new bath, taps or filler, waste and overflow, and bath panel
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.
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.
