Working in Barry

In Barry we cover CF62 and CF63; we also cover Penarth, 5.5 miles away, and Cardiff.

Homes in and around Barry vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. If your Barry bathroom is upstairs on timber joists, we check their size and direction before planning the wet room floor. In a compact Barry bathroom, a wet room frees the space a tray and enclosure would take, but expect the whole floor to get wet.

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

What the job includes

Full tanking of the floor and the shower walls, with sealed corners, pipe collars and a sealed drain connection
A frameless glass screen fixed to the wall and floor
Extractor fan and lighting by a qualified electrician, tested and certified, with underfloor heating if you choose it
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with heads to suit your water system

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.

Open or screened

A fully open shower with no glass only works in a larger room, with the basin, WC and towels well away from the spray.

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.

More about wet rooms

Wet rooms in Barry: questions

How much should I budget for a wet room in Barry?

A wet room in Barry usually costs £5,600–£11,250 including VAT. Room size, layout changes and your choice of products move the figure within that range. The free survey gives you an itemised quote, fixed in writing once the details are agreed.

How long does a wet room take?

Allow 5–10 working days on site for most jobs, plus the lead time for products after you approve the quote. We give you a day-by-day plan before work starts in Barry.

Is the home survey in Barry really free?

Yes. We visit, measure the room, check the pipework, drainage and electrics, and talk through what you want. You then get a written, itemised quote with no obligation to go ahead.

Do you cover CF62 and CF63 in Barry?

Yes. We cover all of Barry, including CF62 and CF63, and nearby Penarth, Cardiff and Llantwit Major. Survey visits are free and arranged at a time that suits you.

Can you have a wet room on a wooden floor?

Yes. On a timber floor, the former usually sits down between the joists so the finished floor stays level, and the joists may need trimming, strengthening or extra noggins. The floor must be stiff, often with a ply overlay, so it does not flex and crack the tiles or the tanking. We check the joists at the survey before quoting.
