Working in Tonypandy
We work right across Tonypandy — CF40 — and in neighbouring Rhondda and Pontypridd.
In Tonypandy, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Tonypandy bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. We measure walk-in showers in Tonypandy so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.
Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Tonypandy, 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
- Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
- A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
- Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
- An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Decisions to make first
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.
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.
