Working in Blackwood
As well as Blackwood itself (NP12), we survey in Gelligaer, Risca and Caerphilly.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Blackwood: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Blackwood home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Blackwood houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Water hardness varies across Gwent: some supplies are soft, others moderately hard or hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Blackwood. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
Decisions to make first
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
