Working in Bridgend
We work right across Bridgend — CF31 and CF35 — and in neighbouring Porthcawl and Llantwit Major.
In Bridgend, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Bridgend bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. For a walk-in shower in Bridgend, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform.
Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Bridgend, 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
- A survey of the space, the waste position, water pressure and the hot-water system
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- A low-profile stone-resin tray, or a floor former with a linear drain for a tiled level floor
- Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
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.
