Which towns do we cover in Mid Glamorgan?

Supplies across most of Mid Glamorgan are soft. If that holds for your street in Rhondda, 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. For shower rooms in Rhondda, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

What the job includes

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
A thermostatic shower valve, exposed or concealed, with a fixed head, a handset or both
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
A low-profile tray or a tiled level floor, with the waste positioned for a good fall
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall

Decisions to make first

Drain

A centre waste in a tray is the norm. A linear drain along one wall lets a tiled floor fall one way, so large tiles can run through.

Tray or level floor

A low-profile stone-resin tray is quicker to fit and costs less. A tiled level floor looks seamless but needs a former, tanking and more floor preparation.

Tray size

A 1200 by 800 mm or 1400 by 900 mm tray with a single panel makes a comfortable walk-in. Go as long as the room allows; length does more than width to keep spray inside.

Glass

8 mm toughened glass is the usual standard for a walk-in panel. An easy-clean coating helps a great deal in hard-water areas.

Rules that apply in Wales

Turning a bathroom into a shower room does not need planning permission. The electrics must meet BS 7671: 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit, at least IPX4 fittings in zone 1 above the tray up to 2.25 m, or IPX5 where water jets are used, and no ordinary sockets within 3 m of zone 1. A shower pump can only be used on a gravity system with a cold tank, never connected directly to the mains.

Wales has its own Part P and Part F. More electrical work is notifiable there than in England, and the extract rates are similar.

Is the water hard in Mid Glamorgan?

Can a shower room have a level floor?

Yes. A tiled level floor with a former and linear drain gives a seamless look and level access, but it needs full tanking of the shower area and a suitable floor build-up. On a timber floor, the former is set between the joists; on a concrete floor, the screed may need cutting out to set the drain.
