Working in Cwmbran

As well as Cwmbran itself (NP44), we survey in Pontypool, Risca and Newport.

In Cwmbran, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Cwmbran 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 Cwmbran en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Hardness differs from one part of Gwent to the next. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Cwmbran. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
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
A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor

Decisions to make first

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.

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.

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 home survey in Cwmbran really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover NP44 in Cwmbran?

Yes. We cover all of Cwmbran, including NP44, and nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Do walk-in showers splash?

A walk-in shower splashes when the tray is too short, the panel too narrow or the head points towards the open end. A long tray, a panel covering most of its length and a head mounted at the closed end keep the water in. In a tight space, a small hinged return panel at the open end helps.
