Working in Welshpool

As well as Welshpool itself (SY21), we survey in Newtown, Brecon and Ystalyfera.

Welshpool gets the same process as anywhere else: a free survey at your home and a written, itemised quote. For a walk-in shower in Welshpool, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. In a long, narrow Welshpool en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Supplies across most of Powys are soft. If that holds for your street in Welshpool, 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

An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
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.

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.

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 Welshpool?

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.
