Working in Merthyr Tydfil
In Merthyr Tydfil we cover CF47 and CF48; we also cover Aberdare, 3.8 miles away, and Rhondda.
In Merthyr Tydfil, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Merthyr Tydfil bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Merthyr Tydfil, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Merthyr Tydfil, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
Decisions to make first
Low tray or level floor
A low-profile tray has a small lip. A level-access floor removes the step altogether but needs a former, tanking and a linear drain.
Mixer or electric shower
A thermostatic mixer draws on your hot-water system. An electric shower heats cold mains water as it flows and needs its own circuit.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers more electrical work than in England, and a new electric shower circuit must be notified. Disabled Facilities Grants in Wales can be up to £36,000, approved by the council before work begins.
