Working in Bangor

We cover every part of Bangor, including LL57 and LL59, and nearby Caernarfon (8.3 miles) and Llandudno (14 miles).

Bangor gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. We plan shower rooms in Bangor around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly. Where a Bangor shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter.

Most of Gwynedd is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Bangor, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. 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
An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
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

Decisions to make first

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

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 Bangor: questions

How much does a shower room cost in Bangor?

A shower room in Bangor usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Expect the lower end for a like-for-like job with standard products, and the upper end if things move or you choose premium finishes. Your quote is itemised and fixed in writing once agreed.

Do you cover LL57 and LL59 in Bangor?

Is the water hard in Bangor?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Bangor?

Building control for Bangor 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.
