Working in Merthyr Tydfil

We cover every part of Merthyr Tydfil, including CF47 and CF48, and nearby Aberdare (3.8 miles) and Rhondda (6.9 miles).

Homes in and around Merthyr Tydfil vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you are refreshing a family bathroom in Merthyr Tydfil before selling, keeping the layout lets the budget go on the suite, tiles and shower. If you have young children at home in Merthyr Tydfil, we can talk through a bath that is easy to lean over, a slip-resistant floor and high-level storage.

Water across much of Mid Glamorgan is 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

A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
A layout that keeps a full-size bath, with options for a shower over it or a separate enclosure if the room allows
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail

Decisions to make first

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

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.

How much should I budget for a family bathroom in Merthyr Tydfil?

A family bathroom in Merthyr Tydfil usually costs £5,600–£10,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Is the home survey in Merthyr Tydfil 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 CF47 and CF48 in Merthyr Tydfil?

Yes. We cover all of Merthyr Tydfil, including CF47 and CF48, and nearby Aberdare, Rhondda and Ebbw Vale. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Merthyr Tydfil?

Is a shower over the bath a good idea?

Yes, a shower over the bath is the most space-efficient way to have both in one room. Use a shower bath or a straight bath at least 700 mm wide, a glass screen and tiling or wall panels to full height around the bath. A common leak point is the seal between bath and wall, so the bath must be fully supported before it is sealed.
