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. Where a Cardiff shower room doubles as the guest bathroom, we plan storage so it stays clear of clutter. For shower rooms in Cardiff, we check the water pressure and hot-water system at the survey, because that decides how well the shower will perform.

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 Cardiff. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

An enclosure, walk-in panel or frameless screen in toughened safety glass
Tanking to the shower area, then wall and floor tiling
Recessed niches or shelving in the shower wall
Removal of the old bath and suite, waste removal, testing and handover

Decisions to make first

Valve and heads

A bar valve is simple and easy to service. A concealed valve with a ceiling head looks cleaner but needs good flow to perform.

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

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

Shower rooms in Cardiff: questions

What is the price of a shower room in Cardiff?

A shower room in Cardiff usually costs £4,200–£8,400 including VAT. Where you land in that range depends on the size of the room, whether the layout changes and the products you choose. After the free survey you get an itemised written quote, and the price is fixed in writing once the layout and products are agreed.

Who handles building control for a shower room in Cardiff?

Building control for Cardiff is handled by the local council or an approved inspector. If your job needs sign-off — for example a new circuit, new drainage or a new extractor where there was none — we tell you at the survey and handle the notification as part of the work.

What is the difference between a shower room and a wet room?

A shower room has a tray, or a shower area with its own screen, and only the shower area is waterproofed. A wet room has a fully tanked floor laid to fall to a drain, so the whole room can get wet. A shower room usually costs less and is quicker to fit. Our guide to wet rooms and walk-in showers compares them.
