Which towns do we cover in Mid Glamorgan?
Most of Mid Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. That leaves you free to choose matt black, brushed brass or clear glass without worrying much about limescale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. If your Rhondda bathroom is a box room over the stairs, the first job is finding out where the soil stack lets the WC sit.
What the job includes
- Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
- Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
- Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
- Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
- Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Decisions to make first
Glass
Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.
Door
Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.
Keep the bath or go walk-in
A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.
Storage
Recess shelves into stud walls or boxing, put a mirror cabinet over the basin and use the wall above the WC. Avoid floor-standing units in very tight rooms.
Rules that apply in Wales
A small bathroom refit in the same room does not need planning permission. The electrical zones matter more in a tight room because the lights and fan end up close to the shower: fittings above the bath or tray up to 2.25 m must be at least IPX4, and any socket other than a shaver supply unit must be at least 3 m from that zone, which in a small bathroom usually rules sockets out. Every circuit needs 30 mA RCD protection under BS 7671.
Wales has its own Part P, with a wider list of notifiable work than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates. Expect the electrical work to be notified and certified.
