Which towns do we cover in Dyfed?
Water across much of Dyfed 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. For homes in Llanelli where the bathroom is the only one, we plan the work so the toilet is out of action for as short a time as possible.
What the job includes
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
- First and second-fix plumbing, including concealed cistern frames and new isolation valves
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- Fitting of the furniture, worktop, sanitaryware and glass, then silicone, testing and a clean handover
Decisions to make first
Tiling height
Tiling just the wet areas keeps the cost down. Full-height tiling looks better and is easier to wipe clean.
Heating
A heated towel rail is standard. Electric underfloor heating under the tiles makes the room comfortable and dries the floor quickly.
Furniture finish
Matt or gloss lacquer, wood-effect, painted shaker or handleless. Darker finishes hide marks; lighter ones make a small room feel bigger.
Worktop
Laminate is the budget choice, quartz-effect and solid surface resist water and stains, and a moulded basin-and-top in one piece has no joints to clean.
Rules that apply in Wales
Like-for-like bathroom refits do not need planning permission. Electrical work in a room with a bath or shower must meet BS 7671, with RCD protection on every circuit and IP-rated fittings in the zones around the bath and shower. New toilets, taps and showers must meet the water fittings rules where you live, which limit flush volumes and stop dirty water flowing back into the mains.
Wales has its own version of Part P, and more bathroom electrical work is notifiable there than in England. Use a registered electrician who will notify the work and give you a certificate.
