Which towns do we cover in South Glamorgan?

Supplies across most of South Glamorgan are moderately hard. Easy-clean glass and good-quality brassware are money well spent. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier. For a small Cardiff bathroom with no window, a quiet extractor fan on an overrun timer does more for the room than any tile choice.

What the job includes

Strip-out, waste removal, testing and a clean handover
Two or three layout options, each priced, so you can compare keeping the bath with a walk-in shower
Space-saving sanitaryware: a short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact or semi-recessed basin
Recessed niches, mirror cabinets and wall-hung vanity units to get storage off the floor
Lighting, extractor fan and towel rail wired by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
Shorter, narrower or shower baths where a full 1700 mm bath does not sit well

Decisions to make first

Glass

Clear glass with a slim profile or none lets the eye travel through the room. A fixed panel needs no clearance for a door to swing.

Keep the bath or go walk-in

A 1500 or 1600 mm bath keeps a bath in a short room. A walk-in shower with a single glass panel opens up the floor and makes the room read as larger.

Tiles and grout

Larger tiles with a grout close to the tile colour make walls look calmer. Running the same floor tile into the shower makes the floor look continuous.

Door

Re-hanging the door to open outwards, or fitting a sliding door, frees the space behind it. In a very small room this alone can make space for a bigger shower.

Rules that apply in Wales

A small bathroom refit in the same room does not need planning permission. The electrical zones matter more in a tight room because the lights and fan end up close to the shower: fittings above the bath or tray up to 2.25 m must be at least IPX4, and any socket other than a shaver supply unit must be at least 3 m from that zone, which in a small bathroom usually rules sockets out. Every circuit needs 30 mA RCD protection under BS 7671.

Wales has its own Part P, with a wider list of notifiable work than England, and its own Part F with similar extract rates. Expect the electrical work to be notified and certified.

Is the water hard in South Glamorgan?

How small can a bathroom be?

There is no legal minimum size for a bathroom in an existing home; the limit is what you can use comfortably. A shower room with an 800 mm tray, a compact basin and a WC can work in about 2 m². A room with a bath needs at least one wall as long as the bath, usually 1500 to 1700 mm, plus space in front of the WC and basin.
