Working in Rhondda

In Rhondda we cover CF40, CF41 and CF43; we also cover Tonypandy, 2.6 miles away, and Aberdare.

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

Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Rhondda, 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

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run
A survey of water pressure and flow, the hot-water system and the floor where the tray or former will sit
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both

Decisions to make first

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.

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 Rhondda: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Rhondda?

A shower room in Rhondda usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose.

Do you cover CF40 in Rhondda?

Is the water hard in Rhondda?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Rhondda?

Building control for Rhondda 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.
