Working in Pontypridd
We work right across Pontypridd — CF37 — and in neighbouring Tonypandy and Caerphilly.
In Pontypridd, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Pontypridd 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. For Pontypridd houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Pontypridd, 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
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
