Homes in and around Tonypandy vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We survey Tonypandy bathrooms before quoting lighting, so the zones are measured from your actual bath and shower. Bathroom lighting in Tonypandy is wired to BS 7671 with RCD protection, tested, and certified when it is finished.

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

IP-rated fittings chosen for each zone, with IP65 downlights over the bath or shower
Testing and an electrical certificate for the work on completion
Fire-rated downlights or fire hoods where the ceiling has to keep its fire resistance
A ceiling pull-cord or a switch outside the room, with separate switching for mirror and feature lights

Decisions to make first

Feature lighting

LED strips in niches, under a wall-hung vanity or along a plinth give enough light for night-time without full glare.

Downlight positions

Evenly spaced downlights give flat, general light. Placing one over the shower and one over the basin puts the light where you actually use it.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part P with a wider notifiable list than England, so more bathroom lighting work has to be notified. A registered electrician notifies it and gives you a certificate.

Do I need an electrician to change a bathroom light?

Swapping a fitting like for like is not usually notifiable, but it still has to meet the zone and IP rules. Anything new, such as an extra light, a moved switch or a new circuit, is notifiable in England and Wales and should be done by a registered electrician. Given the water risk, an electrician is the sensible choice for any bathroom lighting.
