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. If you are planning ahead in Colwyn Bay for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room. In a long, narrow Colwyn Bay en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Supplies across most of Clwyd are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Colwyn Bay. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

Decisions to make first

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers a wider list of electrical work than England, so changes to the lighting or a new electric shower circuit should be notified and certified.

Is the water hard in Colwyn Bay?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
