What does a bath to shower conversion cost in Cardiff?
As a guide, budget £1,850 to £4,600 including VAT for a bath to shower conversion in Cardiff; your written quote will pin it down. Labour costs in Wales put local prices at about 7% below the UK guide figure. The figure depends on the size of the room, whether anything moves, and the products you pick.
Tray and enclosure
- Bath removed, tray in its place
Walk-in shower
- Concealed valve, rainfall head
Level-access floor
- Grab rails and seat options

Working in Cardiff
We work right across Cardiff — CF10, CF11 and CF24 — and in neighbouring Penarth and Caerphilly.
In a city the size of Cardiff, parking and access for a skip are worth sorting before the start date — we will ask at the survey. For Cardiff houses with only one bath, we talk through whether to keep it before you decide. If your Cardiff bathroom was refitted recently and you like the rest of it, we can convert just the bath area and finish the new tiling neatly against the old.
Supplies across most of South Glamorgan are moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Cardiff. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- A thermostatic shower valve, with the pipework moved for the new head position
- Boarding, tanking and re-tiling of the shower walls
Decisions to make first
Your only bath?
If this is the only bath in the house, think about whether you, or a future buyer, will want one before you commit.
Safety extras
A fold-down seat, grab rails and a slip-resistant tray cost little at the time of fitting and are much harder to add later.
Rules that apply in Wales
In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers more electrical work than in England, and a new electric shower circuit must be notified. Disabled Facilities Grants in Wales can be up to £36,000, approved by the council before work begins.
