Working in Colwyn Bay

As well as Colwyn Bay itself (LL28, LL29 and LL31), we survey in Llandudno, Rhyl and Prestatyn.

In Colwyn Bay, as anywhere, the age of the house decides a lot: pipe sizes, floor construction and where the soil stack runs. If your Colwyn Bay bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. In a compact Colwyn Bay bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

Most of Clwyd has moderately hard water. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Colwyn Bay. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Floor strengthening or a ply overlay on timber floors so the surface does not flex
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling

Decisions to make first

Former or screed

A pre-formed board gives a consistent fall and suits timber floors. A sand and cement screed suits concrete slabs and larger shower areas.

Linear or centre drain

A linear drain along one wall lets the floor fall in a single direction, so large tiles can be laid without awkward cuts. A centre drain needs a four-way fall and suits smaller tiles or mosaic.

Rules that apply in Wales

In Wales, Part H covers new drainage and the Welsh Part F sets similar extract rates. The Welsh Part P makes more electrical work notifiable than in England, so the electrician should notify and certify the work.

Is the water hard in Colwyn Bay?

Is a wet room better than a walk-in shower?

A wet room gives a completely level floor and a seamless finish, but costs more because the whole floor is tanked. A walk-in shower uses a low-profile tray and a glass panel, is quicker to fit and costs less. If you need level access, a wet room is the right choice; if you just want an open shower, a walk-in is usually enough. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers goes further.
