Working in Penarth
We work right across Penarth — CF64 — and in neighbouring Cardiff and Barry.
Being a smaller town does not change how we work in Penarth: free survey, written quote, one team. If the bath in your Penarth home is mainly used for storing things, a walk-in shower in the same space is a quick, contained job. If your Penarth 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.
Water across much of South Glamorgan is moderately hard. A quick wipe of the glass and an easy-clean coating are worth having on a new shower in Penarth. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Grab rails and a fold-down seat if you want them
- Repair or replacement of floorboards where the bath has left them soft or damaged
- A low-profile tray, or a former and tanking for a level-access floor
- A glass enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen
Decisions to make first
Enclosure or walk-in
An enclosure with a door keeps all the water in and suits a shorter space. A walk-in panel makes the most of the full 1700 mm length an old bath leaves.
How much to re-tile
Re-tile just the shower walls, or take the chance to re-tile the whole room so new and old tiles never have to match.
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.
