Working in Newport

As well as Newport itself (NP10, NP19 and NP20), we survey in Risca, Cwmbran and Pontypool.

In a city the size of Newport, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. Where a Newport shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. If your second bathroom in Newport is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Newport. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales has its own Part P and Part F. More electrical work is notifiable there than in England, and the extract rates are similar.

Shower rooms in Newport: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Newport?

A shower room in Newport usually costs £4,200–£8,400 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 NP10 in Newport?

Yes. We cover all of Newport, including NP10, NP19 and NP20, and nearby Risca, Cwmbran and Pontypool. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Newport?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Newport?

Building control for Newport 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.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
