Working in Llantwit Major

In Llantwit Major we cover CF61; we also cover Bridgend, 7.6 miles away, and Barry.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Llantwit Major: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Llantwit Major home has just one bathroom, we plan the fit so the toilet is working again at the end of each day wherever the job allows. Whether your Llantwit Major bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide.

Supplies across most of South Glamorgan 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

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
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Strip-out of the old suite and tiles, with the waste taken away by a licensed waste carrier

Decisions to make first

Bath material

Reinforced acrylic is warm to the touch and light on the floor. Steel enamel is harder-wearing and feels more solid, but it draws heat from the water faster.

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.

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.

Family bathrooms in Llantwit Major: questions

Do you cover CF61 in Llantwit Major?

Yes. We cover all of Llantwit Major, including CF61, and nearby Bridgend, Barry and Porthcawl. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Llantwit Major?

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.
