Working in Newtown
We work right across Newtown — SY16 — and in neighbouring Welshpool and Brecon.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newtown: free survey, written quote, one team. If someone in your Newtown home is finding the bath side harder to step over, a low or level-access tray removes the problem. We check the floor under the bath during a Newtown survey where we can, because old leaks can leave soft boards.
Water across much of Powys is soft. If that holds for your street in Newtown, 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 survey of the bath space, the waste position, the floor and your water system
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
- Silicone, a full-flow test and a tidy finish where the new tiling meets the old
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
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.
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
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.
