Working in Porthcawl

As well as Porthcawl itself (CF36), we survey in Bridgend, Maesteg and Llantwit Major.

Porthcawl gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. Fit-only work in Porthcawl is quoted the same way as supply and fit: an itemised written quote after a survey of the room. We survey in Porthcawl before quoting fit-only work, so the soil stack, supplies and walls are checked against the products you have chosen.

Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Electrical work by a qualified electrician where lights, a fan or a shaver socket are changing
Unpacking and checking delivered items before day one, so damage or missing parts can go back to the seller early
A survey of the room, the supplies and drainage, and the products you plan to use
Boarding, tanking in the shower area and tiling labour, with tiles and adhesive from you or sourced by us

Decisions to make first

Tiling

Some customers tile themselves or use a separate tiler. That can work, but the order of trades and who tanks the shower area must be agreed first.

Making good

Decide whether you want the quote to cover making good and decorating, or to stop at the tiles so you can paint yourself.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales uses the same water fittings regulations as England but has its own Part P with a wider notifiable list, so more of the electrical side of a refit needs notifying. A registered electrician handles this and gives you the certificate.

What does a bathroom fitter do?

A bathroom fitter removes the old bathroom, installs new pipework and wastes, boards and prepares the walls, tiles, and fits the bath or shower, basin, WC, furniture and accessories. Electrical work in a bathroom is done by a qualified electrician, and any gas work, such as moving a boiler, by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
