What the job includes

New wiring, lighting, extractor fan and RCD protection, installed and certified by a qualified electrician
Tiling, fitting of the suite and furniture, making good and decorating, then handover
A survey of the structure and services: joists, walls, ceilings, pipework, wastes, wiring and ventilation
Re-plastering or boarding, with cement-based boards and tanking in the wet areas

Decisions to make first

Shower floor

With the floor already up, a renovation is the easiest time to form a level shower floor or a full wet room.

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.

Bathroom renovation in Gelligaer: questions

What is the price of a bathroom renovation in Gelligaer?

A bathroom renovation in Gelligaer usually costs £7,000–£14,000 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Allow 8–15 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Gelligaer.

Is the home survey in Gelligaer really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CF82 in Gelligaer?

Yes. We cover all of Gelligaer, including CF82, and nearby Blackwood, Pontypridd and Caerphilly. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What is the difference between a bathroom refit and a renovation?

A refit replaces the visible parts, the suite, tiles and floor, and keeps the pipework, wiring and walls behind them. A renovation strips the room to its structure and replaces those hidden services too, often with a new layout. It costs more and takes longer, but it deals with problems a refit would only cover up.
