Working in Colwyn Bay

As well as Colwyn Bay itself (LL28, LL29 and LL31), we survey in Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn.

Homes in and around Colwyn Bay vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. For a loft bathroom in a tank-fed Colwyn Bay home, we work out how the shower will get its pressure before choosing a single fitting. If your Colwyn Bay home has a gravity-drained WC on another floor, a macerator in the loft may open up more layout options.

Most of Clwyd has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Colwyn Bay. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A shower pump on a gravity system, an electric shower, or advice on moving to mains pressure, depending on your system
Electrics by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, then tiling, testing and handover
A drainage route from the loft to the soil stack with enough fall, or a pumped waste or macerator where the rules allow it
A survey of the headroom across the room, with the usable height marked at each fitting position

Decisions to make first

Eaves storage

Low cupboards built into the slope behind the WC or basin take clutter out of the room and hide the pipework.

Bath or no bath

A bath under the slope makes good use of low space, but the floor has to carry it when it is full of water and someone is in it.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales applies its own Part P, with a wider notifiable list than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates. Part H covers the new drainage route down from the loft.

Loft bathrooms in Colwyn Bay: questions

What is the price of a loft bathroom in Colwyn Bay?

A loft bathroom in Colwyn Bay usually costs £6,000–£12,000 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the home survey in Colwyn Bay 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 LL28 in Colwyn Bay?

Yes. We cover all of Colwyn Bay, including LL28, LL29 and LL31, and nearby Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Colwyn Bay?

Is a bath too heavy for a loft floor?

A standard acrylic bath is usually fine on a loft floor built for a conversion, but a filled bath with someone in it is heavy, and stone-resin or cast-iron baths are much heavier still. We check the joist size, span and direction at the survey, and a heavy bath may need a structural check and strengthening first.
