Working in Swansea

We work right across Swansea — SA1, SA2 and SA5 — and in neighbouring Briton Ferry and Neath.

In a city the size of Swansea, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. If you are converting a bathroom in Swansea into a shower room, we price a tray and a tiled level floor side by side. If nobody in your Swansea home has used the bath in a while, a shower room puts that space to better use.

Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Swansea, 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
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
A basin and WC to suit the space, freestanding or set into a fitted furniture run

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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.

Shower rooms in Swansea: questions

How much should I budget for a shower room in Swansea?

A shower room in Swansea usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

Is the water hard in Swansea?

Who handles building control for a shower room in Swansea?

Building control for Swansea 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.
