Working in Barry

As well as Barry itself (CF62 and CF63), we survey in Penarth, Cardiff and Llantwit Major.

Homes in and around Barry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If you live in a terrace or semi in Barry with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain. For a small Barry bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

Water across much of South Glamorgan is moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

Rules that apply in Wales

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.

Small bathrooms in Barry: questions

Do you cover CF62 and CF63 in Barry?

Yes. We cover all of Barry, including CF62 and CF63, and nearby Penarth, Cardiff and Llantwit Major. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

What makes a small bathroom look bigger?

Showing more floor and fewer edges makes a small bathroom look bigger. Wall-hung WCs and vanities, a single clear glass panel instead of a framed enclosure, larger tiles with matching grout, and the same floor tile running into the shower all help. A wide mirror on the basin wall bounces light around the room.
