Working in Llanelli

As well as Llanelli itself (SA15), we survey in Gorseinon, Swansea and Ammanford.

Homes in and around Llanelli vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Llanelli bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. In a long, narrow Llanelli en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Supplies across most of Dyfed are soft. If that holds for your street in Llanelli, limescale on shower glass and heads builds up slowly and a squeegee after use is usually enough. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system

Decisions to make first

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

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 Llanelli: questions

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

A walk-in shower in Llanelli 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 SA15 in Llanelli?

Yes. We cover all of Llanelli, including SA15, and nearby Gorseinon, Swansea and Ammanford. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Is the water hard in Llanelli?

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

Building control for Llanelli 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.
