Working in Pontypool

We work right across Pontypool — NP4 and NP44 — and in neighbouring Cwmbran and Risca.

In Pontypool, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If nobody in your Pontypool home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. If you are converting a bathroom in Pontypool into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Pontypool. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Pontypool?

Will a shower room put buyers off?

A shower room is rarely a problem as an en-suite or second bathroom. If it would be the only bathroom in a family-sized house, some buyers will want a bath, so think about how long you plan to stay. A local estate agent can tell you what buyers in your street expect.
