Which towns do we cover in Dyfed?

Supplies across most of Dyfed are soft. If that holds for your street in Llanelli, 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. We measure walk-in showers in Llanelli so the tray and panel are sized together, which is what keeps the spray in.

What the job includes

An 8 mm or 10 mm toughened glass panel with a wall profile and support arm, or a frameless fixing
A thermostatic valve with a riser rail, a fixed head or both
Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

Decisions to make first

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

Niche

A recessed shelf in the back wall keeps bottles off the tray. It has to be planned at first fix and tanked like the rest of the wall.

Tray or tiled floor

A tray is quicker, costs less and has a small lip. A tiled floor with a linear drain sits level with the rest of the room and lets one tile run throughout.

Head

A large overhead head feels luxurious but needs good flow. A handset on a riser is easier for rinsing hair and cleaning the shower.

Rules that apply in Wales

Fitting a walk-in shower does not need planning permission. The light and fan above the shower are in zone 1 up to 2.25 m and must be at least IPX4, or IPX5 where water jets are used, with 30 mA RCD protection on every circuit under BS 7671. Under the water fittings rules, a shower pump may only be used on a gravity system with a cold tank, never on the mains, and the shower needs protection against water flowing back into the supply.

In Wales, the Welsh Part P covers a wider list of electrical work than England, so changes to the lighting or a new electric shower circuit should be notified and certified.

Is the water hard in Dyfed?

What is the difference between a walk-in shower and a wet room?

A walk-in shower uses a tray, or a tanked shower area, with a glass panel, so only the shower area is waterproofed. In a wet room the whole floor is tanked and falls to a drain. A walk-in shower costs less and is quicker to fit; a wet room gives a fully level floor from wall to wall.
