Working in Wrexham

We work right across Wrexham — LL11, LL12 and LL13 — and in neighbouring Brymbo and Rhosllannerchrugog.

In a city the size of Wrexham, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. We measure walk-in showers in Wrexham so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in. In a long, narrow Wrexham 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 Wrexham. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both

Decisions to make first

Tray or tiled floor

A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.

Tray length

Go long rather than wide. A 1400 to 1700 mm tray with a 900 to 1200 mm panel leaves a dry walkway; a 1200 mm tray works but gives less margin for spray.

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.

Walk-in showers in Wrexham: questions

How much does a walk-in shower cost in Wrexham?

A walk-in shower in Wrexham usually costs £2,300–£5,600 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Do you cover LL11 in Wrexham?

Yes. We cover all of Wrexham, including LL11, LL12 and LL13, and nearby Brymbo, Rhosllannerchrugog and Buckley. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Wrexham?

Who handles building control for a walk-in shower in Wrexham?

Building control for Wrexham 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.

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
