Working in Tonypandy
In Tonypandy we cover CF40; we also cover Rhondda, 2.6 miles away, and Pontypridd.
Homes in and around Tonypandy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For Tonypandy houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If you are applying for a grant towards a bath to shower conversion in Tonypandy, we provide the itemised written quote the council will ask for.
Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Tonypandy, 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
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
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.
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.
