Working in Colwyn Bay

We work right across Colwyn Bay — LL28, LL29 and LL31 — and in neighbouring Llandudno and Rhyl.

In Colwyn Bay, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. We quote vanity unit work in Colwyn Bay after seeing the wall and pipework, so any re-tiling is on the quote from the start. If you have bought a vanity unit for your Colwyn Bay bathroom, fit-only installation covers connecting the tap and waste and testing for leaks.

Supplies across most of Clwyd are moderately hard. Taps and wastes will need an occasional descale, and chrome or brushed finishes are easier to keep clean than polished brass. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old basin and pedestal, or old vanity, and taking it away
Testing for leaks and checking the trap holds its seal
A check that the wall can carry a wall-hung unit, with fixings to suit solid or stud walls
Fitting the unit level, with the basin sealed to the top and the top sealed to the wall

Decisions to make first

Wall-hung or floor-standing

Wall-hung units leave the floor clear and are easy to clean under, but need a strong wall. Floor-standing units hold more and suit weak or uneven walls.

Waste and overflow

A basin with an overflow takes a slotted waste; one without needs an unslotted waste, often a push-button 'click-clack' type.

Rules that apply in Wales

Wales follows the same water fittings regulations as England. Its own Part P covers more electrical work, so a lit vanity or mirror should be connected by a registered electrician.

Is the water hard in Colwyn Bay?

Yes. The existing supply and waste positions usually work with a vanity unit, sometimes with the waste lowered or moved slightly to clear a drawer. The tiles often need patching where the pedestal and basin sat.
