Which towns do we cover in Gwynedd?
Most of Gwynedd is supplied with soft water. 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. If your Bangor bathroom has pipes boxed in at odd angles, a fitted run is often the neatest way to hide them for good.
What the job includes
- A free home survey with measurements, photos and a check of your water pressure, drainage and ventilation
- Supply of the suite, fitted furniture, worktop, brassware, tiles and accessories
- Layout options drawn to your room, including where the furniture run, bath or shower and towel rail will go
- Boarding, tanking in the wet areas, wall and floor tiling
- Strip-out of the old bathroom and removal of the waste
- Electrical work by a qualified electrician: lighting, extractor fan, shaver socket or heating, tested and certified
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.
Wall-hung or floor-standing
Wall-hung units show more floor and look lighter; floor-standing units give more storage and suit uneven walls.
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.
