Working in Ebbw Vale

We cover every part of Ebbw Vale, including NP23, and nearby Merthyr Tydfil (7.5 miles) and Blackwood (7.6 miles).

In Ebbw Vale, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. For a walk-in shower in Ebbw Vale, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. If you are planning ahead in Ebbw Vale for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Supplies across Gwent range from soft to hard depending on the source. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Ebbw Vale. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover
An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing

Decisions to make first

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

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.

Is the water hard in Ebbw Vale?

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.
