Homes in and around Colwyn Bay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For listed and period properties in Colwyn Bay, we check early whether listed building consent applies to the work you have in mind. Whether your Colwyn Bay bathroom needs a refresh or a full strip back to brick, the written quote shows both where both are realistic.

Supplies across most of Clwyd are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
Strip-out back to brick or studwork, with waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Repairs to rotten floorboards, joists or other timber found once the room is open

Decisions to make first

Pipe material

Copper suits exposed runs and the area near the boiler. Plastic pipe is quicker under floors and inside walls, and long runs need fewer joints.

How far back to strip

Back to brick gives a clean start. Keeping sound plaster on some walls saves time and money, and the survey shows which walls can stay.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales applies its own building regulations, including a wider Part P and its own Parts F and H. Structural and drainage changes go through building control in much the same way as in England.

What problems are found when a bathroom is stripped out?

The usual ones are rotten floorboards or joists around the WC and bath, old lead or corroded pipework, joists notched too deeply for pipes, plaster that has come away from the wall and circuits without RCD protection. In homes built before 2000, asbestos can turn up in textured ceiling coatings, old floor tiles, cistern lids or boxing panels.
