Which towns do we cover in Gwent?
Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. 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. For a period house in Newport with high ceilings, we plan the lighting and tile heights to suit the proportions of the room.
What the job includes
- Floor strengthening where a stone-resin, cast-iron or natural stone bath needs it
- A full product schedule naming every piece of sanitaryware, brassware, tile and light fitting
- Concealed thermostatic or digital shower valves, set into the wall to the depth the manufacturer specifies
- A detailed survey of the floor structure, hot-water capacity, water pressure and flow
- Underfloor heating, layered lighting and any steam unit wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Bespoke fitted furniture, mitred tile edges and recessed niches
Decisions to make first
Shower system
A concealed thermostatic valve with a ceiling head and handset is the usual choice. A digital valve sets the temperature from a wall panel, and a steam enclosure needs its own generator and supply.
Wall and floor finish
Large-format porcelain gives a stone look with little upkeep. Natural stone and microcement are beautiful but need sealing and care, especially in hard-water areas.
Heating
Underfloor heating under stone or porcelain makes the room comfortable all year; pair it with a towel rail for drying.
Lighting
Layer it: IP-rated ceiling lights for general use, a lit mirror at the basin and low-level LED in niches or plinths for night, each on its own switch or dimmer.
Rules that apply in Wales
Internal bathroom work does not need planning permission, but a listed building needs listed building consent for alterations affecting its character, including new soil or vent pipes through walls. Heavy baths and stone floors add load to the floor structure, which should be checked first. Electrics must meet BS 7671, including the IP ratings in each zone and 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit.
Wales has its own Part P with a wider notifiable list than England, so the new electrical work should be notified and certified. An unvented cylinder still needs a G3-qualified installer, and boiler work a Gas Safe registered engineer.
