Working in Gorseinon

As well as Gorseinon itself (SA4), we survey in Llanelli, Swansea and Clydach.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Gorseinon: free survey, written quote, one team. For a walk-in shower in Gorseinon, we check the water pressure first, so the head you choose will actually perform. In a long, narrow Gorseinon en-suite, a walk-in tray along the back wall often works better than a square enclosure.

Most of West Glamorgan is supplied with soft water. If that holds for your street in Gorseinon, 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
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
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled

Decisions to make first

Tray or tiled floor

A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.

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 water hard in Gorseinon?

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.
