Working in Swansea

We cover every part of Swansea, including SA1, SA2 and SA5, and nearby Briton Ferry (5.4 miles) and Neath (6.6 miles).

Swansea is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. Whether your Swansea bathroom is a narrow galley or a square main room, we show you whether a separate shower would fit before you decide. We survey in Swansea before quoting, so the bath, shower and storage are planned around your actual walls, window and soil stack.

Supplies across most of West Glamorgan are 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

Lights, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A free home survey covering room sizes, the soil stack position, your boiler or cylinder type and water pressure
Supply of the bath, basin, WC, brassware, shower, screen, tiles and heated towel rail
New pipework, wastes and isolation valves, plus a thermostatic shower valve so the temperature holds when someone runs a tap

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

More about family bathrooms

Family bathrooms in Swansea: questions

What is the price of a family bathroom in Swansea?

A family bathroom in Swansea usually costs £5,600–£10,250 including VAT. The final figure comes down to what you choose and what we find at the survey; your written quote lists every item so you can see where the money goes.

Do you cover SA1 in Swansea?

Yes. We cover all of Swansea, including SA1, SA2 and SA5, and nearby Briton Ferry, Neath and Llanelli. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Swansea?

Who handles building control for a family bathroom in Swansea?

Building control for Swansea is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

Should a family bathroom have a bath?

If you have young children, yes: bathing a toddler in a shower tray is hard work. In a single-bathroom house, a bath with a good thermostatic shower over it gives you both in one footprint. If the children are older and nobody baths, a walk-in shower may suit you better; our bath or shower guide sets out the trade-offs.
