Building in Llanelli
Dyfed covers Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Stone cottages and farmhouses under slate roofs are common, often rendered or colour-washed, as in Tenby's brightly painted terraces. Llanelli has Victorian industrial terraces, Aberystwyth and Carmarthen have Georgian and Victorian centres, and bungalows and newer estates surround most towns.
Stone homes often need lime render, repointing and roof slating repairs. Terraces suit loft conversions and extensions, and rural bungalows commonly take extensions, porches and driveways.
That variety is why a guide price for a new bathroom in Llanelli is only a starting point; the survey shows what your particular property needs.
Do you need permission in Llanelli?
Which rules apply depends on where you live. For Llanelli, the answer is Wales, and the points below reflect that; we verify them with the council before quoting.
Internal improvements do not need planning permission in Wales unless the building is listed.
Building Regulations in Wales cover notifiable electrical work, drainage, ventilation and any structural change.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
The four stages
We look at the job
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about a new bathroom.
Your fixed price
We put everything into a written, fixed-price quote: the specification, what's excluded, staged payments and the expected time on site. Take whatever time you need to decide; there's no pressure to commit.
Getting ready
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Finish and handover
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.

Questions about a new bathroom in Llanelli
Is the price fixed?
Yes, for the specification we agree. Your written quote sets out exactly what is included at a fixed price. It only changes if you ask for something different, or if a problem the survey could not reasonably reveal later needs extra work. In either case we explain the change and confirm it in writing before going ahead.
Can I move the toilet to a different position?
Moving a toilet is usually possible, but it is limited by the soil pipe, which needs a large-diameter pipe with a steady fall to the soil stack. Short moves along the same wall are often simple, while moving it across the room may mean lifting floors or boxing in pipework. A macerator pump is an option where gravity will not work. We check the stack position during the survey.
Which postcodes in Llanelli do you cover?
We cover SA15, along with the rest of Dyfed. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
How much does a new bathroom cost?
A typical family bathroom costs £4,600–£11,000 supplied and fitted, including tiling, a new suite, shower, lighting and an extractor fan. Shower rooms and simple en-suites cost a little less, while wet rooms, standalone baths and large-format tiles cost more. Moving the toilet or replacing rotten floorboards adds to the total. We confirm a fixed price for the agreed specification after the survey.
Do I need a new boiler for a new shower?
You do not always need a new boiler for a new shower, but your hot water system decides what kind of shower will work well. Combi boilers suit mixer showers directly from the mains. Tank-fed systems may need a pump for good pressure, and electric showers heat their own water. We check your boiler, cylinder and water pressure during the survey and recommend a shower to match.
