Working in Brecon
In Brecon we cover LD3; we also cover Merthyr Tydfil, 13.7 miles away, and Ebbw Vale.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Brecon: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Brecon home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. If the bath in your Brecon home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job.
Water across much of Powys is soft. If that holds for your street in Brecon, 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 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
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.
