Working in Swansea

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

Swansea is a big place with every kind of home, from terraces to flats to new builds, so we never price from a photo alone. We measure small bathrooms in Swansea to the centimetre before quoting, because 50 mm can decide whether a larger tray fits. If you live in a terrace or semi in Swansea with a compact bathroom, swapping a pedestal basin and close-coupled WC for wall-hung pieces is often the biggest single gain.

Water across much of West Glamorgan is soft. 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.

What the job includes

Boarding, tanking and tiling, with larger tiles where they suit the walls to cut down grout lines
A measured survey including the door swing, window position, soil stack and any boxing that could be slimmed down
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

More about small bathrooms

Small bathrooms in Swansea: questions

What is the price of a small bathroom in Swansea?

A small bathroom in Swansea usually costs £4,200–£7,900 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.

Do you cover SA1 in Swansea?

Yes. We cover all of Swansea, including SA1, SA2 and SA5, and nearby Briton Ferry, Neath and Llanelli. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Swansea?

Who handles building control for a small bathroom 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.

Is it worth taking the bath out of a small bathroom?

It is worth it if nobody in the house uses the bath. A walk-in shower in the same space gives more standing room, a lower step and a more open floor. If it is the only bath in a family home, consider keeping one, perhaps a 1500 or 1600 mm bath with a shower over it. Our small bathroom ideas guide covers more options.
