Working in Newtown

We cover every part of Newtown, including SY16, and nearby Welshpool (11.8 miles) and Brecon (39.6 miles).

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Newtown: free survey, written quote, one team. If nobody in your Newtown home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use. We plan shower rooms in Newtown around the waste route first, so the tray has a good fall and drains quickly.

Supplies across most of Powys are soft. If that holds for your street in Newtown, 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
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall

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.

More about shower rooms

Shower rooms in Newtown: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Newtown?

A shower room in Newtown 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 SY16 in Newtown?

Yes. We cover all of Newtown, including SY16, and nearby Welshpool, Brecon and Ystalyfera. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Newtown?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Newtown?

Building control for Newtown 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.
