Working in Bangor

In Bangor we cover LL57 and LL59; we also cover Caernarfon, 8.3 miles away, and Llandudno.

Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Bangor: free survey, written quote, one team. If your Bangor bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. If your Bangor home has a concrete ground floor, a downstairs wet room may need the screed cut out to set the drain.

Water across much of Gwynedd is soft. If that holds for your street in Bangor, 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 thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system
Slip-resistant porcelain floor tiles and wall tiling
A pre-formed floor former with a linear or centre drain, or a screed laid to fall
Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection

Decisions to make first

Underfloor heating

Electric underfloor heating under the tiles dries the floor quickly after a shower; it is typically £700 to £1,500 for a bathroom.

Screen size

A screen of 1200 mm or more keeps spray off the rest of the room in most layouts. In a very small wet room, expect the whole floor to get wet.

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.

Wet rooms in Bangor: questions

What is the price of a wet room in Bangor?

A wet room in Bangor usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Is the water hard in Bangor?

Who handles building control for a wet room in Bangor?

Building control for Bangor is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is tanking in a wet room?

Tanking is the waterproof layer under the tiles that stops water reaching the floor and walls. It is usually a liquid or sheet membrane, with sealing tape at every corner, board joint and pipe. Tiles and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the tanking is what actually keeps the water in.
