Working in Merthyr Tydfil

As well as Merthyr Tydfil itself (CF47 and CF48), we survey in Aberdare, Rhondda and Ebbw Vale.

In Merthyr Tydfil, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For shower rooms in Merthyr Tydfil, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform. If your second bathroom in Merthyr Tydfil is too narrow for a bath, a long walk-in tray can often fit along the same wall.

Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Merthyr Tydfil, 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

Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Extractor fan, lighting and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

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 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.

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.

Is the water hard in Merthyr Tydfil?

What shower suits my water system?

It depends on your hot water. A combi boiler or unvented cylinder supplies mains pressure to a thermostatic mixer. A tank-fed system may need a pump, which must only be used on gravity systems. An electric shower heats cold mains water and suits a home without much stored hot water. See choosing a shower.
