Which towns do we cover in Clwyd?
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. If you have young children at home in Wrexham, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.
What the job includes
- Final silicone, a test of every tap and waste, and a clean handover
- Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
- Moisture-resistant boarding and tanking around the bath and shower before any tiling
- Wall and floor tiling, with a floor finish chosen to grip under wet feet
- New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
- Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier
Decisions to make first
Storage
A vanity under the basin, a tall unit or a mirror cabinet. High-level or lockable storage keeps medicines and cleaning products out of reach of small children.
Floor
Matt or textured porcelain is the hardest-wearing option. Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is warmer, quieter and cheaper to lay. Avoid polished tiles where children climb out of the bath.
Bath shape
A standard 1700 mm bath fits most rooms. A shower bath widens at one end to give more standing room under the shower; a double-ended bath puts the waste in the middle so two children can share without one sitting on the plug.
Shower over the bath or separate
A shower over the bath with a fixed or hinged screen is the most space-efficient. A separate enclosure needs roughly another square metre of floor but means the bath queue no longer holds up the shower queue.
Rules that apply in Wales
Refitting a family bathroom in the same room does not need planning permission. The electrics must meet BS 7671, with 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit in the room and at least IPX4 fittings in the zone above the bath, up to 2.25 m. The water fittings rules in each nation limit a new WC to a 6-litre flush and require protection against dirty water flowing back into the supply.
Wales has its own Part P, with a wider list of notifiable electrical work than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates if the fan is replaced. Ask your electrician which parts of the job will be notified, and expect a certificate at the end.
