Working in Briton Ferry
We work right across Briton Ferry — SA7 and SA12 — and in neighbouring Neath and Clydach.
In Briton Ferry, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If the bath in your Briton Ferry home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. For Briton Ferry houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide.
Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Briton Ferry, 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
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- Removal of the bath, panel and taps, and disposal of the waste
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
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.
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.
